Not Exactly A BABY Name, Per Se...

[wowthatisminty.livejournal.com]

So I've started writing again!

Yay.

I'm writing a new play called Dora at the Wedding.

In it, a young woman named Lisa is about to be married. Her sister Pandora (Dora, for short) has a sensory integration disorder and skips out on Lisa's bachelorette party because of the noise. However, she has agreed to store party favors in her garage. Lisa's best friend Caroline hires a male stripper to pop out of a giant shiny purple box at the party, a box which she leaves in Dora's garage. A box that is, unfortunately, identical to the box Dora JUST inherited from her dead grandfather, one she must never EVER open. Coming back from Starbucks, Dora encounters the stripper, having escaped a claustrophobic situation, outside the purple box and the OTHER box, the box that holds the mystery, is in the coatroom of a sleazy Boston bar. Dora and the stripper have to make it across town in rush-hour traffic before Lisa unleashes all the evils on the world.

Here's my question...

What should I name the stripper? He's 24 and he's doing this to pay for grad school.

I actually used to go to a male strip club pretty frequently, and my favorite guy was called Blake, so that came to mind immediately, haha. From what you've said about the character's background, there are plenty of "real" names that could work. You've mentioned this in an earlier comment already, but it'll be important that the name sounds good with Dora, so that's one way to start.

A few more off the top of my head: Andrew, Mark, Colin, Jesse, Nathan
