My list is backed up for a while so I am finally getting to these names. Back during NaNoWriMo 2015 I had posted about it and a fellow blogger Apolla 13 commented about her experience with it and then told me a bit about the story she chose to write about. So for all of my posts for March I will be doing some of the names of her characters for the story she wrote for NaNoWriMo 2015 as I really like many of these names and have yet to add them so I am adding them now.

I for some reason see a lion from the Lion King movies when I see this name. It to me seems African but I found no link to African Origin when looking this name up. I also see this being a good sibling name to go with Morrigan *see on list of posts* or Morgana *see on list of posts* just simply because it kind of looks like a baddy character name to me. The meanings are good and it has a decent history of use.
