Need help finding names for the parents of one of my characters! It takes place in a fantasy setting and features arthro animals. The character’s name is [name]Rafael[/name], a former bad guy turned good, he is seventeen, and a wolf! He comes from a noble family but his parents where held for ransom by bandits when he was a kid. This caused him to become angered and eventually become a bandit leader himself before he later resigned and reflected to the good side.
I’m looking for Victorian style names as well as [name]Roman[/name], Spanish, or Latin! Something that is familiar but is not exactly common!
[name]Leonardo[/name] sounds good but I was think some more along the lines of [name]Lorenzo[/name]! As for [name]Elizabeth[/name] it is too bland and common for my liking, I want something more exotic and rare sounding!
