Testing out a character name

Mar 19, 2008 13:43

I need a name for a "new" character in my time-travel/post-apocalypse story. For a few reasons I am considering "Beelos," which would be pronounced bay-ELL-ose--three syllables ( Read more... )

It puts me in mind of Douglas Adam's "Hitchhikers Guide" for some reason.

Zaphod Beeblebrox, perhaps?

I am not one into SF so when I hear bay-ELL-ose I think of Bela Lugosi,

BTW what is the prize?

Yeah, that's my main objection to the name, albeit small.

The prize, you ask? Hmm. Let me think about that.

It doesn't mean anything to me. :P

My first thought: no one will ever pronounce it correctly.

That's fine. Everyone can say BEE-lose if they want. Hey, when it makes it to a movie (as if) they will no doubt change the name, anyway.

Sounds like a name my cousin would come up with, and he's always naming his characters after moons. Is it maybe a moon?

Also, the pronunciation is a little like Beelzebub, who is of course a demon. Am I close or just talking nonsense?
