Hector

• This is one of two of my favorite names of all time. I love the sound of it and it is so masculine. Besides, it's easy to spell and pronounce, which is always a bonus. I like how it sounds great with a Spanish middle name (I'm going through a major Spanish name phase!).
• This could well become the newest traditional name of the Clan Munro, if that makes any sense.  It belongs to the current chief, and to the first world war author, Hector Hugh Munro.  The next Hector Munro has some big shoes to fill, but he'd have a name that sounds both cool and classy.

Hector is the English form of the Greek name Hektor, which means "holding fast." In classical mythology, it was the name of a hero of the Trojan War who was eventually slain by Achilles.

Hector has been used in Scotland since at least the middle ages, where it was used as an anglicization of Eachann, a Gaelic name which is derived from the words meaning "brown" and "horse."
