Suggestions needed...

[badly_knitted]

I could use a little help, so all you fans of my ongoing fic Through Time and Space, what I need is an alias for Ianto to use in his travels, a name he can call himself when he's among people he may not want knowing his real identity.

Any suggestions?

I thought of John Harper in rememberance of his Torchwood friends.and because the English of Ianto is John I think.

Good thinking, thank you!

I'm making a list and I'll try to use all the suggested names in the fic at some point.

Maybe one of the other Welsh variants of John such as Ieuen or Ifan and then a common surnames like Evans or Thomas?

Or maybe John Taylor, fairly unremarkable name, but English version of Ianto and what he said his dad's job was, tailor.

Good suggestions, thank you! I kind of like Ifan Taylor, so that's a possibility...

I'm making a list and I'll try to use all the suggested names in fics at some point.

Maybe you could look at the squads of the Welsh football or rugby squad and mix and match first names with surnames?

If you want a Welsh name, that is.

Well, there's no reason to stick to a Welsh name as he's out in space and few people are going to have even heard of earth, never mind Wales, I just needed something Ianto could reasonably have come up with, and I've settled on what he'll use as him primary alias, though he might use other names from time to time so I'm hanging on to all aliases for future use.

Now I need suggestions to give Ianto's TARDIS a name, since he's neglected to do that. Soon she's going to be asking him, Why do I not have a name? ;)

Thank for the idea =)
