Mordred


This is from King Arthur. It sounds evil and unusual. The only boys' name I actually like!

In Arthurian legend, Mordred (also known as Modred, Medraut & Medrawt among others) was either the son, nephew or foster-son of King Arthur depending on what source you use. In the most popular retellings of Arthurian legends, Mordred is the illegitimate son of King Arthur by his sister Morgause or his half-sister Morgan. In this tradition, Mordred, though the incest that created him was accidental, is a traitor who eventually causes the downfall of King Arthur. The name may be derived from the Latin name Moderatus meaning "controlled; orderly; restrained; well-maintained."
