The baby name of the day is... Merlin.
Merlin is famously the magician in the legend of King Arthur.
BehindTheName.com says Merlin is a "form of the Welsh name Myrddin (meaning "sea fortress") used by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his 12th-century Arthurian tales. He likely chose the form Merlinus over Merdinus in order to prevent associations with French merde "excrement". In the earliest legends Myrddin is a prophetic madman who lives in the Caledonian Forest, but in later tales Merlin is a wizard, the sorcerer and counselor for King Arthur."
