Gideon

• Unusual, but not so weird nobody can understand. Means Great Warrior.
• a great, strong but unusual name.  In the Bible he was a judge whom I believe fought off a huge army with his own small one with God's help.  Definitely the name of a leader.
• Gideon Amadeus - Gideon is another favorite boys name that I've had forever; you hardly hear of any boy with that name.  It's unique, yet not unusual sounding.  I'm a pianist and LOVE Mozart and fell in love with his middle name.

The name of an Old Testament hero, Gideon comes from Hebrew meaning "he who cuts down" implying a feller or trees or a warrior. It may also be derived from a word meaning "maimed."
