Names that mean brave
Brave names tend to be strong, bold, and motivating. They stand for holding your ground in hard times and the bold attitude that keeps you walking forward. Naming the thing you want to own up to means you have faith in your power and you can take care of yourself—perfect for a natural visionary or a fighter.
