Old-stock names with intellectual edge

Germanic baby names — Hugo, Otto, Otis, Willa, Greta — descend from the same lineage as English and Norse but kept their consonant weight longer. Many have warrior, ruler, or protector etymologies (Milo, Ulrich, Edmund-adjacent stems). They project competence and quiet authority.
