[Opinions] Is Tharliex a good name for a book character?
The name Tharliex (Pronounced Tarr-lee-ex) is the name of the main character from a book im writing where him and his family gets exiled to Planet earth and have to assimilate to American culture.

I assume it's a made-up name, so I guess it's all right since he's from some other planet. But I suggest you simplify for your readers, if you're expecting to have some, by removing the silent h from the name.
I would spell it Tarliex, so that people pronounce it right, but it’s fine.
