The sound pattern creates pleasant rhythm that's easy to say and hear correctly the first time. It occupies interesting territory between familiar and unique, giving your son distinction without burden. Parents appreciate how it crosses cultural boundaries smoothly while maintaining clear identity. The name suits various personality types and interests, never boxing your child into predetermined expectations. Its relative rarity means he's unlikely to share his name with multiple classmates, providing individuality. The spelling is logical and straightforward, reducing lifelong corrections. It carries youthful energy that somehow doesn't age into awkwardness—a rare quality in names. The balanced consonant-vowel structure makes it linguistically versatile across different accents and languages. This choice demonstrates modern sensibility in naming while respecting timeless qualities of good name selection.
