So, talented writers of GFF, I need some opinion on some changes I might be making to a character's name xD
I was deceived a long time ago into thinking "Phuong" is a guy's name, so unfortunately I have a male character named Phuong in one of my stories. I've now known for some time that Phuong's a girl's name, but I haven't gotten around to addressing the character name issue.
Now that I'm revisiting that story, I feel like I really should change his name xD So I could use some suggestions/feedback...
[Character Description if that helps] So he's a fifteen year old dude with spiky brown hair and brown eyes (think like a sort of gangster Kakeru or something, but not too gangster). He's friendly, down-to-earth, loyal to the death, and extremely resourceful. He's rather reckless at times and sometimes a bit of a loudmouth. He fights with stereotypical "ninja gear" (shuriken, claw/dagger). And if you're a stickler for couples having names that sound good together, his love interest's name is Skye Syntario. [/character description]
The names I've been thinking of are : Fong, Falan, Ryo, Zane. But of course, if there are better suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them ;D

There are a lot of tongue faces in this thread! I think that's quite a decent-sized selection of names Thanks guys ;D I'll definitely be considering some of these! (The thing is, I don't know how to pronounce Adric )

I don't really like Riku's Asian names because they're all Japanese sounding, while the original is Vietnamese. Just something small that I kind of noticed.
I'm leaning towards Fong, with the reason being that it's the closest to Phuong.

Bang Shishigami.
Well, Ryudo seems pretty fitting somehow, but it may be just me.

I searched friendly names and I got:
Irving Elvin Edwin Darwin Alden Rafiq
And I recommend using naming sites in the future, it helps me a treat. I could go and search for more if you want.
