Vril is a most unique name for boys. Originally founded among the pages of an 1871 novel, The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer Lytton. In the story, an ancient civilization flees underground to escape a massive flood. In due course, they gain greater power by facing and overcoming the harsh conditions of Earth and are able to create utopia. The people primarily run on a fluid called Vril. Vril can destroy, replenish life, heal, and cure depending on whose hands it falls in. As is, Vril is associated with a “life-giving elixir.” Perhaps, choosing Vril can inspire your little one to do their bit in creating a better world for all and to look inside of themselves when they need to push through.
