I'm really loving Herman at the moment, and I find the sound of the name particularly pleasing. However, I can't envision myself warming up to its meaning: "army man." What do you think of the name? How might you reinterpret the meaning so that it sits well with me, a man who is not terribly fond of the army (to put it mildly)?

Also, of course, what do you think of these combinations? In some cases I attempted to soften Herman's Teutonic vigor by pairing it with a French name; in other cases I threw caution to the wind and glorified the German spirit.
