why not go to a baby name site and look some interesting ones up. i think it depend on who the character it. for example, jimmy probably never got made fun of for his name.
also, if it is from a 'normal, everyday' persons perspective, then the char. should have a normal everyday sort of name.
what program do you use? i found a free online one for book/story writing called ywriter. its supposed to help you organize, and break stories up into scenes, and then you can rearrange the scenes.

It's got to be symbolic. This isn't the greatest of names but an example would be something like Mori. It's both a guys name and a girls name, and it can reference the idea of the momento mori, or the dance of the dead.

It's cryptic for death, basically.

Other ideas, if it's got any other religious undertones, Christian perhaps, or Hayden (hades).

Personally I think Thane, which is quite an unusual and modern sounding name, is kind of cool. It is shortened from the name Thanatos (meaning, simply, Death).

Good luck, anyways dude. But I will reiterate, books have themes and plenty of symbolism, so I hope i've at least got the creative juices flowing.

Hayden Thane Remori. That sounds nice. Also sounds like Joey's (from friends) name in Days of Our Lives. Dr. Drake Remor...ay? I don't know how to spell. But, whateva. I'm using that. Thanks brudaah!

Or, if you (or anyone else) think of something that has a better ring to it, let me know

Whenever oprah has an author with a new book that she puts on "Oprah's book club" it goes straight to being a best seller the next week, oprah has special powers.

That's true. But do I really want to be an Oprah's book club author?
