My main character is currently named Arthur Jones, but recent posts in the show case thread make me think this might not be the best name for him.
I chose Arthur because it's modern as befitting the modern setting, and heroic without being corny. However, it's mentioned that the name could cause readers to think I'm ripping off a certain popular book series, which naturally I don't want.
My second option is naming him Gilgamesh Jones. It's not modern, and it's pretty corny, however I think it could work. In the story his father is an expert on mythology and monsters, while his mother had some job that involved learning martial arts and how to use a fire arm, I'm still working on the specifics, both of whom currently secretly work for the story's secret government organization that hunts monsters. I figure that they'd be the type of people to name him something like that. Futhermore, it opens up the "A" name for his sister.
What do you guys think?
