Rollo: Baby Name of the Day - Appellation Mountain

Rollo: Baby Name of the Day - Appellation Mountain | Name News | Scoop.it
Rollo feels like a cheerful, modern invention. But it's actually the name of a fierce Viking leader, the ancestor of William the Conqueror himself.
Clare's insight:

I was delighted to see this name featured today. I think Rollo is fantastic - it's full of rugged Norman charm, but it's also cuddly and roly-poly, and (as Abby says) a bit like a chocolate.
