Hi everyone,

A few years ago, someone drew me some excellent graphics for a character in my game. The problem is, even now, years down the line i can't think up a good name for him.

I had decided that a good first name might be 'Eric', but this is open for discussion. I need to come up with a good name (first name and surname) for the character which alludes his position, and what he does for a job. Maybe some kind of pun would be good.

The game is a quirky puzzle game and the character is the owner of a firework factory, who is more than a little crazy and has a shady past. He is your boss in the game and pops up to offer tutorial hints and exposition between levels.

At some point, if disk space permits i am hoping to have a voice for him, perhaps someone might have some good feedback on what to look for in that too?

I have included a video of the character for inspiration.

Thanks for any advice!

Edit: Updated video with babbling and blinking

He looks like an irish sprite ( http://s2.hubimg.com/u/8738179_f520.jpg ), and first think I thought of was the song whiskey in the jar, and therefore at its character Captain Farrel, so... what about Mr. Farrel ?

lol, thats mighty good to-be-sure, i'll stick it on my list :)

Buren.

He looks like a Buren to me at least!

buren as in sounds like "burn"? :D

Mr Boom sounds appropriate, i quite like the idea of him shouting because hes half deaf, and maybe not realising hes shouting all the time...

"WHAT? CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN" :D
