Leviathan is a sea serpent in the Bible. It's a bit like calling your child Kraken. Artemis is a Greek goddess

Richard, Timothy and Gary are fairly unusual now, well out of the top 100. I know quite a few Sebastians. It's the new Nathaniel I think, meets the long formal name but with cute nickname criteria.

Finnegan
Rafferty
Willoughby
Gideon
Zander
Milton
Jesse
Zebedee
Asher
Xavier
Marley
Barnaby

I like Cosmo but it doesn't work with my surname.
