"Teacher's Pet"

Hello, peoples!

I’ve got a large chunk of my plot figured out–along with all my characters–but I recently got a new idea that requires a new character, and I was hoping y’all could help me because I’m a bit stuck.

Basically this guy will meet the main group and want to “join” but the other members don’t want him to. The leader, however, absolutely loves him. He thinks he’s the perfect addition to their group and wants to include him immediately. So… he joins. The rest of the group leaves this guy out of things, is somewhat rude to him, and overall just really doesn’t like him because they don’t trust him. They think he’s bad news and that their leader is blind. In the end, they’re right and they find out he caused a whole lot of trouble for them.

I’m thinking he’ll be (or at least present himself as) awkward, slightly unintelligent, loud, and overly devoted to the leader. I don’t really care what he looks like, and it won’t affect the plot at all, so I’ll figure it out once he’s named.

Any name ideas would be greatly appreciated! [name_m]Even[/name_m] if it’s not the name I use, inspiration is so incredible helpful!

Thanks y’all!

maybe a name that sounds happy and positive but has a dark meaning like how [name_m]Marco[/name_m] sounds friendly but means war.
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]= dark
[name_m]Cecil[/name_m]= Blind (like how the leader is blind to him?)
Sidero= Evil nymph
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]= Sad
[name_f]Happy[/name_f] to be of any help!

[name_m]Marcus[/name_m] was the first that came to mind.
