Re: In desperate need of a name
Greetings!

I admit I'm rather curious about this man's background. What is his heritage? Where did he grow up? When was he born? These three things actually have quite a bit of influence on names and spellings of names (thank you, Freakonomics!). These are things I've been considering when naming my characters for the past few years instead of going for out and out symbolism (not that there's anything wrong with that). You could probably answer these three questions then use that information when combing a namedatabase like Behind the Name. That might help you find what you're looking for. *Smile*



Simple and cool
