Me too, just because it's such a non-heroic name

I think The Matthias would do well for me. I've always liked that name but I don't think I'll meet a woman who will let me name our offspring in that manner. . .

"Omnia mutantur." Everything changes, in the Latin.
OR Longinus.
OR after one of my favourite writers/fictional characters... the Gaiman (after Neil Gaiman), for example.

Here's a phrase you won't hear me use often but "In my fanfic" Shadow War, I mentioned the names of three other Firefly's that our BDH's ran into during a gig...An older one without the extenders called The Axe, one highly modified red with gigantic swooping bat's wings called Everlasting, and one identical to Serenity except it was clean and painted green, called The Contessa.

I don't think you can ever beat the name Serenity though...

I would name her Shenandoah. I have been playing a Firefly RPG for about 2 years now as the captain of a Firefly which I named the Shenandoah after the Confederate naval ship that never surrendered.

Very, very appropriate. Good choice.

I'd call mine the Rufus T., after the brilliant diplomat and statesman from Earth That Was.

(I'd also offer a discount to any clients who got the joke. )
