Help with MC’s name…

I’m making a character in a fantasy story, and I just cannot find a good name for him…

He has black hair and green eyes. He’s tall and muscular and is very athletic. He loves to train and is a skilled fighter. He can also manipulate fire to his will but only uses it for good.

He’s caring, loyal, and dutiful but he’s also stubborn, introverted, and can be a bit too domineering at times. He’s said to have the spirit of a thousand burning flames and can be very hard to beat in a battle. He deeply cares for his family and friends and will stop at nothing to fight for them which can make him far too overprotective.

He also has a close friend named [name_u]Florian[/name_u] who can control plants and flowers, they’re both extremely close and some might think they are brothers.

I’m sort of looking for a name that could go good with [name_u]Florian[/name_u], one that looks simple and isn’t too difficult to pronounce. Maybe something meaning “fire” or “strong”. Maybe some Greek/Latin names too? Thanks!

Since the [name_u]Florian[/name_u]-[name_f]Flower[/name_f] connection is so strong, I thought of [name_m]Ignacio[/name_m] for the fire mage!
Or maybe [name_m]Lucio[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucius[/name_m]/… meaning light?

[name_m]How[/name_m] come I’ve never thought about those names? Lol, anyway thanks for the suggestions. I really like [name_m]Ignacio[/name_m]!
