Question: Name for a quiet charcter in a story!?
I'm naming one of the characters in a story and have given him the name Bobby but I really don't like the name!.!.!.he isn't a main character really but is important!.
He's a 14 year old orphan,kind of skinny,he's black and has curly hair,and He wears Hawaiian clothes (like something you'd wear on a vacation tot the beach) all the time!.He's silent and rarely says anything through his lips,so he says it through his body language and eyes!.
He always uses the quickest method of aid when someone's life is at risk and they are unable to do anything!.He doesn't care whether he is close to the person or not,they're going to live if it's up to him!.He would sleep on the floor if it meant staying by a friend's sickbed!.
In short,he's just a very caring,quiet,friendly person (he smiles often)!.I hate the name Bobby for him,does anyone have any better names!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jeremy - just the first name that popped into my headWww@QuestionHome@Com
What about a nickname!? He could be Bobby but not be referred to by that name in the story!. Since he is an orphan he could have a street name or a name that other kids in foster care called him (whatever the situation) that has stuck with him throughout the years!. Something like Miles for his loyalty to others or how far he has come!. Or Mouse for his timidness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Oliver, alluding to Oliver TwistWww@QuestionHome@Com
Irving!. Or even Lester!. Two lesser common names that are still striking and easy to remember!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
