I think I'm a fire type from your description, which is ironic because I studied marine biology in school. Delamere captured my attention! How beautiful. Delamere and Devereaux as brothers?! Here's some names from my list that also fall into the four element categories (you can tell my preference lol): Earth- Alaska (great land) Arlo (hill) Beaumont (beautiful mountain) Brent (hill) Holden (the hollow in the valley) Monroe (from the hill) Omri (my sheaf of grain) Peter (rock) Terra (Earth) Zamora (land) Fire- Brinley (burnt meadow) Farrah (ironsmith) Keegan (child of fiery one) Rowan (red) Air- Auretta (light wind) Skylark Zephyr (west wind) Zephyrine (west wind) Water- Brooklyn (pretty brook) Devereaux (from the Eure River) Dylan (child of the sea) Ephyra (sea nymph) Escott (from the cottage near the stream) Mara (sea) Murphy (child of sea warrior) Rodney (island in the swift river) Rosemarie (dew from the sea)

Guthrie is the last name of one of the main characters in the show Black Sails. The character, Eleanor Guthrie is the beautiful, determined daughter of Richard Guthrie, the wealthiest Black Marketeer in the Bahamas, and chief fence/supplier for the many pirate crews of New Providence Island, Nassau. Eleanor Guthrie was left by her father to oversee all his dealing with the pirates of Nassau. It's an amazing show with well known names such as Charles Vane in the story and I recommend anyone to watch it, especially those who have played Assassins Creed: Black Flag. The show is available on Hulu and Prime.

I would like to add Sulis to the water name list. Sulis was the goddess of water who was worshipped in the West of England.

loving your videos although not planning kids🤷‍♀️can i ask, is baby name monday something you created for your profile or is an actual thing? if so, where does it originate?

I’m also a pisces but you need to know your whole birth chart to determine your element. Even though Pisces would obviously be water, considering my Moon and Rising sign I’m Fire.
