Benji Madden of the 00s π€rock πΆband Good Charlotte shared the birth of his third child, a sonπΆ with actress Cameron Diaz — in a πcool Instagram π’announcement with his name as: ππNautas! π
ππNautas is from the Latin root word Nauta and means: "sailor, navigator, voyager, one who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown."
πNameberryπ further explains πNautas is a "nautical name that blends modern and ancient. Likely derived from the Latin nauta, Nautus may be interpreted as meaning "sailor, seafarer, mariner" — though Benji Madden offered the more figurative interpretation when announcing his son's birth. A one of a kind choice, Nautus might combine the appeal of ancient sounding names — such as Augustus, Titus, and Maximus — with the contemporary love for sea-inspired choices — like Ocean, Cove, and Caspian — with the on-trend sounds of names like Knox, Silas, Nash, and Atlas mixed in too. It may also bring to mind the Nautilus, marine cephalopods, known for their large, spiral shells — also used as the name for Captain Nemo's submarine in Jules Verne's classic novel, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
ππNautas is such a new name, πNBπ only just added the name onto their website seemingly. π€―
Initially, I thought ππNautas was a made up name when I first heard it and therefore didn't like it. π But when I saw Madden's post on it my mind changed π€ reading the meaning. It's a pretty nice name after all ππΎ and I do loveπseaπ inspired names. My only gripes: I keep thinking it's spelled how it's pronounced: N-a-u-t-u-s π€¦πΎ♀️ and I somehow see nautical + naughty = ππNautas. π
☔πIRN RATING OF πNautas: π OR ππππππ/10
