I hope it's ok to post this here - if not, could a mod port it where it belongs.
I have a Chinese character in my story, and I'm so fascinated by the way Chinese names are put together, I seem to be doing more research than writing. I'd also like to point out he isn't the only magical being just because he's Chinese: I have Latinos, Muslims, African and Central American, etc. I'm trying to be multi-cultural.
Anyway - I don't want to cobble together a name that looks like an American cobbled it together and was wondering if I could get some help naming him?
He's a 1000 year old magician. In his old life, he was a fisherman and sort of philosophical fellow who dabbled in the science of his time. He somehow fell into faerie and became magical. The fae threw him out when he started combining fae magic with science. He came back to our world and is sort of a go-between for those who need faerie magic to do more than it should. I would like for his name to reflect who he is.
Any suggestions?
