Mm, at first glance I was going to be against
Shadrach, but then you said "nickname Shade" and I changed my mind. Now the more I say it the better it sounds. I love Shade, the only thing that would make me a bit wary are those books by
Kenneth Oppel. I mean, I liked them, but names that have been used on animals, no matter how personified, tend to fall a bit in my eyes. Hm. I'll have to think on this one!
Paz is a bit foreign as a person's name to me. I've only seen it as part of place names, so that what I think of.
