Soren derives from the Latin Severus by way of Scandinavian use, and its root meaning leans toward stern or severe. Modern use has softened that edge considerably, and the name now tends to read as serious-minded and grounded rather than harsh -- gravity without coldness.
When you are loathed use Venus who has very strong influx and quick response in this and other aspects, and means renovation and growth. - Picatrix (Andalusia, ~1000.AD)
