Armand Hammer (1898 – 1990) was an American industrialist and tycoon. It is a common urban legend that the brand name, Arm & Hammer, originated with or is related to him, as Hammer did own some stock in the company and served on its Board of Directors in the '80's. The truth is, Hammer only bought stock in the company as a joke!

Citizen Armand Chauvelin is the main antagonist in the Scarlet Pimpernel series by Baroness Emmuska Orczy.

I love, love, love, LOVE this name. It reminds me of the character of Armand from the Vampire Chronicles (mentioned above), whom I adore, and I also love it's pronunciation. And even the way it looks when written down! I may use it on a future son, and I'm surprised it's not more popular!

Sounds too much like almond.
