Seems very "manifest destiny" sort of sinister-Victorian-flouncy-explorer on a boy, a la
Diamond and
Meriwether. There's something very cold and almost cruel about it, which does give it some personality.
Ives would be a neat nickname.
I knew of a female
Ivory once, I think her name was
Ivory Tuesday....or maybe
Ivory Wednesday? I remember thinking it was super cool, when I was 16. She was Indigenous.
