[Opinions] Re: Tarkan
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
it might work; especially if spelled Taarkan (or maybe it's Tarkaan) like in The Horse and His Boy. people here in the states are becoming mighty fond of double a's, it seems.

The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis was my first thought, too! They plan to eventually make it into a movie like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (they're planning to do the whole series). After that comes out, the general public will probably be more familiar with the name. In the book, a Tarkaan is a Calormen nobleman.
I thought of that too!
I agree that because of that it might work. It might follow Caspian which I think is pretty widely accepted as a name (and a lovely one at that). The sound of Tarkan/Tarkaan is a bit harsh for me personally though.
