Rum

A name like Rum will remind your little one that anything is possible with a creative blend of skill, intellect, and ambition. Though not typically a first name, Rum is sweet, appealing, and rich, just like the liquor it describes! Made from sugarcane products, rum can have a light or fuller flavor, depending on where and how it is distilled. Its name is said to be a shortened form of rumbullion, an obsolete English word that meant "uproar" or "melee," fitting endearments for a tiny tot who'll cause a stir of the best kind when they make their arrival. Rum could also stem from saccharum, a Latin word meaning "grit" or "gravel," perhaps describing the liquor's harsher taste in its earliest days. Other definitions like "fine," "good," "strong," and "potent" depict the different ways rum can hit the palate. While they'll undoubtedly be sweet at heart, your Rum's personality might just have quite the kick to it.
