@.twist.: Nope, because I did the same thing. I was disappointed the first time, though. I was an elf and he broke up with me at the end of the game! I was pissed.

I actually really like the name Remus from HP, and Prof Lupin was one of my favorite characters.

I like Tyrion and Alistair. I know real NYer named Alistair, so with his accent I think I butcher his name trying to say it like he does.

Anakin would be so awesome. There is also Cadmus, Antioch, or Ignotus (the Peverell brothers from HP). I really like Cadmus Ray.

I like Alistair too!
You could always go Shakespearean -- Percy, Mercutio, Hamlet (or Hamnet - Shakespeare's son's name), Iago (call him Iggy), Cassio, Cassius, Laertes, Orlando, Timon, Antony etc (mostly non-lead names).

A friend of mine just named her son Kylan. It's not "nerdy" (that I know of), but it is Irish/Gaelic.
