Names, Pt 4

Pete aka Crazy Pete. Pete had to be a really short, hurried sounding name. The long e coupled with the harsh consonants of P and T makes Pete not only actually short, but also sound chopped and brief. It's also a somewhat common everyday name making it sound unassuming until you add the adjective Crazy to the front.

Sam was another one of those asexual names. It because of Lord of the Rings it makes you think of a good friend which is what I was really going for: a name that inspires trust. I actually can't think of a villain that's ever been named Sam. If I'm wrong there, correct me, I'm curious.

Sherlock Holmes yeah...

Steven. I've know several Stevens and they're all kind of off. That was really important for this character because he's really off. Steven also has a kind of comical sound to it somehow which was another important factor.

Sycophant was one of the only synonyms left.

Toni was chosen for being a technically nondescript name, but with that spelling it really isn't. It has an Italian sound which somehow makes things sound artistic and also it's a strong, leaderly name.
