be creative for me!
So, I've been coming up with superheroes.
I have the tentative beginnings of a superhero story brewing, in a world which
a) has to be somewhat similar to the Marvel and DC universes, in that it features masked/caped superheroes flying around the place defending the innocent
b) can't actually be the Marvel or DC universe, for plot related reasons.
Hence, I've been coming up with backstory - including the world's very first superheroes, both from London in the 20s.
And here is my shallow, ridiculous, first-world dilemma: I don't have a last name for my first-ever superhero.
His superhero name? Got that: Black Arrow.
Powers? All figured out?
Personal life? Done.
Costume? Easy.
First name? It's Leonard.
But his last name? ...no clue.
I should be moving on and continuing to come up with an actual story, but instead I am sitting here, headdesking, and growling "Dammit, Leonard, just give yourself a last name! WHAT IS IT???"
So - any suggestions?
I'm wanting something British and mildly upperclass, probably a trade-ish name. Like Weaver, Tanner, Wright, or something.
Help?
