I need a male first name with quirky/dorky connotations for my SSF. Three syllables perhaps preferred though not required. It doesn't even have to be a real first name, as long as it has a plausible first name ring to it. Help!
(Without help, I might go with "Murray". Or "Warren," which I've always liked because of its connection to scared rabbits.)
Update: All helpful suggestions so far. More, please. I don't know if it really needs to be three syllables or not, now. As background, the character in question plays the accordion and writes songs about his pain. (The assignment, btw, is to write a story that's a list.)
Three syllables?

ReplyDeleteUsing someone else's suggestion will read like a slapped on 'band aid'.
