Names for Resilience

:think: Discussion

Hey everyone! I've recently read a bit about nominative determinism and I'm interested in how a name can potentially affect the lives of the bearer. Although it's far off, I've been thinking of good names for children. Given an older brother, younger sister pair, what names do you think would be good to symbolize "resilience"? So far, I've thought of Everest and Stella.

I think Everest is instantly recognizable and intuitively signifies "pinnacle of achievement through enduring and adversity".

Meanwhile, Stella has astrological connections, implying a "steady, enduring radiance that shines brilliantly".

The "pinnacle of achievement" and "shines brilliantly" parts aren't as important as the "enduring", I think. But what are your thoughts?
