Well, shoot, I coulda told you that! Your names have somewhat obvious meanings if you're interested in mythology and you know a thing or two about European languages...

Mine is too boring to put here, so I'll search for more interesting names.

Ceallach

Solomon

Origin: Biblical
Meaning: 'Peaceable, perfect, one who recompenses'
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: Peace. Variant of Shalom. In the bible Solomon (son of David and Bathsheba) succeeded his father as king of Israel and wrote Proverbs; Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon.

Zack

Origin: English
Meaning: Variant of Zachariah and Zachary.
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: Diminutive of Zachariah: The Lord has remembered, and of Isaac: He laughs. Laughter. The only son born to Abraham and his wife Sarah (in the Old Testament). Famous Bearer: Nickname of American president Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969).

Cyrus

Origin: Biblical
Meaning: As miserable; as heir
Origin: Greek
Meaning: Enthroned. Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon and founded the Persian Empire.
Origin: Latin
Meaning: Sun.
Origin: Persian

I like Cyrus the best, with Ceallach as a close second.
