I managed to pick a name after spending the day staring at the list.
First, this is how I picked the names I liked. I wrote all the names that had the right meanings on some paper (without the meanings or the submitters name) I then cycled through the names while staring at the character and slowly removed the ones that didn't fit.
I was then left with a few names that sounded great, I paired them with his last name: Heradota or Cicero.
Eventually, there was one name that constantly rang and despite the meaning not being as complex as I liked the name just wouldn't unstick itself from the character.
The chosen name is "Daishomaru"
Meaning we have two main winners (w00t) as I stuck the name Daisho with the name Maru.
The winners are Tsubakiwolf for "Daisho" and Felflowne for "Maru"
Runners up are:
Jennifer for "Wenshisesh", It just sounded so cool together as Wenshisesh Heradota that it is now the name of Daishomaru's father and the leader of thier family.
Wingedmystery for "Erimentha" Which fits the crazy kid oracle perfectly.
Winners get some pimping and a free sketch! Runners up get sketches too. Let me know what you want me to draw!
Thanks to all those who entered! there were some really awesome names there and you did me a great help just by submitting a name for consideration!

FA+

It may mean things in other languages but that was the submitted one.
It's often found on the end of Japanese names. (at least, I can think of 4 characters from Manga's with Maru on the end)
Theres a rough for my new fursona. I'm excited that I made runner-up. :D
