Names!

So I've spent too much time today sitting around trying to come up with a name for my Nethermancer. The Second Step's random Earthdawn name generator seems to be really convinced I want to name him Ari, as it came up a bunch of times - I don't, for more or less the same reason I don't have any Maras or Jonathans - characters with names of friends just seems awkward.

So! I've come up with Isak and Miska - leaning towards the first, but I'm terrible at picking names (Asher got named by Clare and Jesse. After Jesse's _dog_) - opinions? Surname to be picked once I have a first name decided on.

(Yes, I am totally avoiding schoolwork with this pointless exercise)

See, I like the name Isaac, but I do already have another OC named that. Both fulfill the two requirements of being 1) interesting fantasy-esqe names, and 2) GM-pronouncable (he tries really hard, but sometimes it's kind of painful >.>)

Miska is a little bit more interesting, though - less of a 'modern' name (although it's apparently a pet form of the Hungarian version of Michael - ah, random name generators)
