Victor

Victor is a name carved in Latin, from victor, "conqueror," and it has worn that meaning with remarkable steadiness for two thousand years. Popes took it; Victor Hugo wrote Les Misérables under it; Frankenstein's doctor made it a gothic byword. It has never left the American top 300, a rare kind of consistency, and is especially beloved across Spanish and Portuguese-speaking families. Two syllables, the hard V and clean T giving it backbone. Victor doesn't strain for effect. It arrives, it holds the room, and it lets the other names do the fidgeting. Dignified without a drop of pretense.
