Jaeger (German meaning "Hunter") vs. Cocidius (Irish meaning "Mythical Hunter God")

I am pregnant with our first, a boy! We like the name Hunter. But it’s just too plain for us. We want something unique. So we decided to go with a name from one of our family homelands with the meaning "hunter". I am part English, part German. My husband is part English, part Irish. We live in the UK. Jaeger is pronounced YAY-ger. And yes we know there is an alcoholic drink called Jägermeister/Jäger but we really like that Jaeger means "Hunter" and it’s German. But we also really like Cocidius, pronounced Ko-sid-ee-us, which is an Irish name meaning "Mythical Hunter God". But is Cocidius too out there? We have already looked at other names meaning "Hunter" or something along that line but didn’t find any others that we like. Which do you like better of these two? His middle name is still undecided. Thanks! ~Elaine, William, and son

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
