Parents selecting this name often appreciate its bold simplicity and the character traits it suggests. The word-name category has gained popularity, and this represents one of its strongest options. It's memorable without being complicated, distinctive without being weird. The name feels action-oriented and purposeful, qualities many parents hope to instill. Brief enough to stand alone, strong enough to anchor any combination, and meaningful enough to inspire.
