Keats. A name you’re probably familiar with thanks to English Lit. classes. But did you know that it comes from an Old English word cyta meaning “herdsman?” Once associated with workers working away at the shed or an outhouse for animals, it's completely overshadowed by the notions of romance and poetry today. So whether or not your little one ever picks up a pen is besides the point, although that’d be pretty awesome too. But with a name like Keats, baby will know that anything is possible, that they can, in fact, go beyond what people think they ought to be.
