Help[Opinions] Re: Need name for a cunning half brother...
in reply to a message by «•^ILY Alys Down^•»
I'm thinking maybe a more unusual Biblical name for that era, like.... Joel. Joel is like the quintessential "seems charming but is actually a cold hearted manipulative jerk" name to me. Luke and Gabriel could also work.
Ethan, Roy, Brandon and Bruce seem to belong to the wrong time period and it's distracting.
Edric, Theobald and Dorian sound too European.
Mythological/classical names were pretty common then for both upper class types and slaves, so Leander and Ulysses would work, but I think Ulysses is too evocative of Grant. Leander Exeter is ok but I don't think it sounds very nice, it's choppy. That -er -er sound is meh. Maybe something like Hadrian Exeter, Juvenal Exeter, Marcus Exeter, Tarquin Exeter.
Ashford and Silver are interesting options because they bring to mind the strong tradition of using surnames/maiden names. Ashford Exeter does sound pretty evil.
