Thread Topic: I need a name

The name of the main character in here has the name of a character of another book series I'm writing. I don't like reusing names for my books, so here's the first chapter of my book (I know, it's not great, I'm going to fix it soon).

-
Can I have a list of names that are off limits? Do you have any preferences? A letter you want it to start with?
-
Um, not super long and complicated, but not a usual one. I mean, he's a thief and a rogue. I don't know.

Caspian
Kier
Neil
Beowolf -
Keir's a good one. I'd like to be able to choose out of multiple ones that I like, though.
-
But I like Kendril!
-
But that's a character in another book of mine!
-
Kieran
-
Wait, Kier means dark-haired. Kendril in both of them are blonde.
Maybe I could do a little name-switching?
Maybe Jonathan becomes Kendril, Kendril becomes Kier, and Kendril stays Kendril?
But Kendril means, 'gift of God,' and that fits more with the Kendril in the other book, and not the Kendril in this book or Jonathan in the other. -
Wait I switched it up. Jonathan becomes Keir because he's dark-haired, Kendril stays Kendril, then Kendril becomes Jonathan.
But I'd rather not switch names around, so yeah, I need help. -
Can you give me more personality traits for the character?
-
Calculating, cunning, excellent liar, but always keeps a promise. Except for Gaynor he doesn't have any friends. For the rest, you're either an enemy or an acquaintance. Life on the streets has made him untrusting. Or if he does trust, it's not for very long. Gaynor seems to be an exception to that. He works everything to his advantage. He's not a big fan of traditions, but he respects them. He likes to know what's going on around him at all times. He can't suffer fools.
But he's willing to help those in need. He had a better life before the one he now lives, one with his parents still alive. He had to learn how to take care of himself from a young age. He's had to deal with hard and tricky people who've been calloused to all rules and morality all his life, so that's what he became to survive.
Does this help? -
