Name Game

My luck with naming characters is sometimes uneven but usually works out right in the end. Well, all the names of the cast have fallen into place except my leading man. At first it was Darius so his nickname would be "Dare". But that was too obvious or "cute". So it changed to Kane but it seemed to harsh. A perfect name for a villain (not Vicious though). I settled on Quinn when I started NaNoWriMo but it doesn't fit either.

Vicious went through a similar name game but I really like Vicious for now. It prefectly describes the character. Confession: I got the idea from Cowboy Bebop. Busted!

Selene's brother when from Lucus to Jamie for no particular reason except it fit with his personality.
Selene and Deanne were never changed (except surnames). They felt right from the beginning.
(Need to post cast list)

So recap:
Darius "Dare"
Kane
Bran (after a famous Celtic hero)
Michael
Quinn

So the next change is:

Bane!

I know, way too obvious a name especially for a werewolf character but it feels right. Its probably better for a villain name ...whatever ...Wait a minute Kane? Bane? *eye roll* I guess the "K" seems too harsh (?). How strange. Silly me. *sigh* Back to the naming board.

The character is a "bad boy" lone wolf type (cliche go away) so I think the name fits for now. I'm thinking he choose it himself after he reached puberty and acquired his white timber wolf form. Its custom in the Packs to choose your own name at this point in their lives and carry it into adulthood. (Sound good-its a Native American custom) In fact, the character has probably been screaming at me that his name was really Bane but I ignored him. I bow down for now.
But I'm still looking.

Any suggestions? Please post them. Thanks!

Now I have to return to my story file and replace all the Quinns.
I'm never satisfied. *sigh*
