Benji Madden of the 00s ๐คrock ๐ถband Good Charlotte shared the birth of his third child, a son๐ถ with ๐ฅactress Cameron Diaz — in a ๐cool Instagram ๐ขannouncement with his name as: ๐๐Nautas! ๐
๐๐Nautas is from the Latin root word Nauta and means: "sailor, navigator, voyager, one who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown."
๐Nameberry๐ further explains ๐Nautas 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."
๐๐Nautas is such a new name, ๐NB๐ only just added the name onto their website seemingly. ๐คฏ
Initially, I thought ๐๐Nautas was a made up name when I first heard it and therefore didn't like it. ๐ But when I saw Madden's post on it my mind changed ๐ค reading the meaning. It's a pretty nice name after all ๐๐พ and I do love๐sea๐ inspired names. My only gripes: I keep thinking it's spelled how it's pronounced: N-a-u-t-u-s ๐คฆ๐พ♀️ and I somehow see nautical + naughty = ๐๐Nautas. ๐
☔๐IRN RATING OF ๐Nautas: ๐ OR ๐๐๐๐๐๐/10
