Roll Black Water

BEHOLD MY THUNDERING WORDS MORTAL So most of my followers are also people who talk to me on skype so normally I'd ask you guys about this in the group discussion, but I figure I'll do it here instead.
I accidentally ended up getting in a long nerd rant about World of Darkness here. It kind of explains some of my reasoning, but at the same time you can get the gist without reading it. Feel free to skip on down if you're short on time.
V THIS IS THE LONG NERD RANT V
Okay, so recently I stumbled across a little known game called World of Darkness. If you haven't heard of it it's a tabletop RPG like DnD except it's based more in paranormal creatures (i.e. werewolves, vampires, prometheans) instead of plain fantasy. In an old story from before the game was reimagined you played a character stuck in a conflict between the impending apocalyptic deity known as the Wyrm and multiple races of Changing Breeds. Obviously I wanted to know the most about a breed called the Rokea who are a race of Weresharks. In the mythos weresharks have different roles in society that depend on what phase of the moon was out when they were born. You've got Brightwaters who were born on the full moon, Dimwaters who were born during any phase but full or new moon, and Darkwaters who were born on the new moon or when the moon was blocked by clouds. Brightwaters and Darkwaters are usually the only Rokea to leave the ocean in human form due to their curious natures. If you want to read more about Changing Breeds I suggest this wiki:

THIS IS THE END OF THE LONG RANT
So anyway I originally chose the last name Smithinson for my shark character Jordan because it pretty much describes him. He is the son of a smith. By that I mean a traditional career as a smith. He's a crafter and builder by nature. However as I've begun to develop him more and more I'm starting to move a little further from the building each time. For somebody who's main talent is building he sure does a lot of fighting. So I'm starting to think that I like the name Blackwater more. I dunno, let me know what you guys think. I've been using it in our group chat for about a week and nobody's said anything about it, but my skype name is as fleeting as the tides so they probably don't know I'm serious about possibly changing it.
