Changing a characters name?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! I’m looking for advice on a first name for a young boy character in my story (born 2016, so around 7-10 years old).

[name_f][/name_f]

Originally, I called him [name_m]Michael[/name_m][name_f][/name_f], but I’m wondering if there’s a name that fits him even better. His older half-sister named him when she was 9. She’s really into reading and named their other sister [name_f]Sadie[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] after [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_m]Kane[/name_m] from The [name_m]Kane[/name_m] Chronicles.

[name_f][/name_f]

So ideally, I’m looking something that could[name_f][/name_f] come from or be inspired by a book character (any genre).

[name_f][/name_f]

A few details about him:
[name_f][/name_f]He’s curious, gentle, and observant, with wavy blondish hair, tanned skin, and light brown eyes. He loves routines but gets really excited about new books or hobbies. Gentle, empathetic, highly observant, sharp in areas that interest him, but sometimes struggles with social cues.

[name_f][/name_f]

Name must start with one of these letters: D, J, M, P, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, or Z

[name_f][/name_f]

Thanks!
