Never Warr?  His parents named him that because they were hippies ;)

Then you can't use anything ever again.  kidding.  Don't worry about using part of a name that's been used before, unless it's been way overused or isn't partially unique.  I mean, Jim used Harry right?  He just took it and made it his own.

OZ:
Don't forget the Roman god Mars. Obviously in todays society it would work better as a last name although letting your character have it for a first name would definitely be unique. Many people think that the Greek and Roman gods were the same with just name changes but Ares and Mars are an example of where the different cultures gave their gods definite differences. Ares was more of a dumb sullen brute while Mars was more intelligent, a strategist as well as a fighter.

Here is a page of Crow-Raven names. http://www.20000-names.com/animal_crow_names_raven_names.htm . I liked Wolfram which means wolf-raven. Wolfram Mars?

Sean 'Bjørn' Blackstone:
Wow Quantus, you put some thought into this. thanks man.
so what Ive drawn from all this new info, are two more names, Rok, and Bran.
lol @ never warr, thats actually pretty cool.
I just think the name Kane, or Cain, either way, is widely overused, the fact that its been in an apparently popular series makes me want to use it even less.
And I've actually never read another book where the characters name was Harry.
Marcello, Marcus, Markos, and Martin are also names for the Roman God of War, thats where I go them from. i would use mars, but every time that pops into my head I think Bruno Mars (I hate my sister)
So what weve got now:

First Names:                                    Last Names:
Tommy                                           Callan
Marcus                                           Thane
Morgan                                           Ramm
Nathan                                           Warr
Bran
Rok


im kinda leaning towards one in particular, but I'd still love to hear suggestions.         

Sean 'Bjørn' Blackstone:
so, I think Ive chosen

Rafi (Rafael) Murdock

If you need any more help, now or in the future... I found a couple great sites with tons of names. It is kind of extensive.. I think so anyways... It does get to be a pain to search through everything, but it has a lot of names, as well as their meanings.

I have used this one a lot.
