If you are looking for a unique name that screams, or should we say, roars, individuality, then Lion could be your perfect match. More typically an animal name than a first name, Lion brings to mind the majestic big cat that's often synonymous with courage, strength, and regality. In heart, attitude, and name, your Lion will emulate this mighty creature, moving through life with bravery and pride. You can also get creative with your nickname choices for your "mane" kiddo, such as Li, Lonnie, or Leo.
