Number Names

Number names have been used since ancient times — think Roman names like Quintus and Octavia — and are still being re-invented in modern times. Number names can show a child's birth order, or a meaningful number for the family. Read on for names with a numerical meaning (including "last"), and a few false friends that sound like they *should* be number names, like Quinn and Sixten.
