Never been good with names
15 years ago
I've had a rat/jackdaw gryph form in the back of my head for a while now and now I'm starting to think about making it a named character. The name I've been going by is actually derived from my real name and is of no particular significance. Raxmei is an odd spelling of the word and boy's name meaning ray (of sunlight) in a foreign language.
Vea seems like a good candidate. It's a corruption of the word and boy's name Veha, meaning sky. That would perhaps make too much sense, but it sounds good.
It has stress on the last syllable, as should Raxmei.
In the process of looking into this I think I've found a pretty good surname in Mao. That would make my primary Mao Raxmei (dark ray of light, for those keeping track of meanings). Mao Vea has a nice sound, I think.
