Numair

• A very powerful mage in Tamora Pierce's Immortals series.  He was a very cool character, and the name sounds dark and shadowy or light and magical.  Pronounced 'new-mare'
• This is a very strange name, and I must admit it will not be the name of my future child, but it was the name of a very good young man in a favorite book of mine, and it holds a special sentimentality.

Numair apparently means "panther" or "baby tiger" in Arabic.
