If the ring fits...

Me: I wonder if there's any unisex or masculine names with the same meaning as "Sophie" in Old English or something.
Behindthename.com: Frodo
Me, a short hairy person eating second breakfast: ...

(Despite it technically fitting my criteria, I am not changing my name to Frodo. Or "Wisdom", for that matter)

EDIT: So! People's comments on this post got me to make a locked post of all the names I've pondered (locked since some involve my last name) And that got me to poke at Behindthename some more and go "...Sean??? Maybe????". So, that's where I'm at right now :D :D Not that Frodo wouldn't have been cool in it's own way.

Wim! Usually short for William of course but it doesn't have to be.

Huh! I hadn't encountered that one before! It doesn't click with me but more options is always good :)

Sophos!

[alias_sqbr]

I considered it!

And thank you for this comment, because it prompted me to make a post with the names I've pondered, which got me to have another look at the list I'd compiled to see if I'd missed any, which led to another BehindTheName excursion which...may have led me to my Forever Name??? sits with Sean some more and ponders

Ugh, the judeo-christian normativity of them... from my agnostic parents. Gah!

Yeah, I've always been pretty happy with "Wisdom". But at least you didn't get one of those names meaning DOOM AND DEATH or whatever, though I guess that would kind of cool in a goth sort of way :)
