Dorothy is the English and feminine form of a Late Greek name Δωρόθεος (Dorotheos) , which meant "gift of god" from Greek δῶρον (doron) meaning "gift" and θεός (theos) meaning "god". It reminds me of the simplicity of childhood and Dorothy Gale with her adventures in Oz. c o m b o s

Arthur is a name of unknown origin but it is thought to be from the Celtic artos meaning "bear". Arthur has a wintry warm vibe and makes me think of sweaters, tree bark, and bears. It also makes me think of aardvarks thanks to the children's book Arthur. c o m b o s

jan 18 2025 + Harold is from the Old English name Hereweald , derived from the elements here "army" and weald "power, leader, ruler". It was the name of two kings of England including Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. The name fell out of use after the loss of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest. It was revived in the 19th century. Harold is cuddly. A sweet teddy bear of a name that makes me think of cozying up with a good book, a hot cup of cocoa, and a soft blanket. I also think of the movie Harold and Maude and the children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon . I adore the nickname Halley, like Halley's comet. Rollo would be quite cute too. Then there's Holly and Harry as well… Options! c o m b o s

jan 18 2025 + Warren is from an English surname that was derived from the Old North French warenne meaning "game park, hunting reserve". Or it may also likely to be from the present participle of the Old North French warir (Old French garir) meaning "defend, keep," from the Proto-Germanic *war- "to protect, guard". A warren is a series of crowded underground tunnels and burrows that wild or domesticated rabbits live in. And, that's what the name brings to mind for me: rabbits. c o m b o s
