Name Need
by Cholero at 10:22 on 10 May 2006

I need a name like Potter, with a similar sound and connotations (not Harry connotations tho). Any ideas?

Thanks.

Pete

Dabble might be a good one too. Tinker and Dabble's Mercantile Apothecary? Sound's a bit medieval and witchy-like don't it?

Putterford, Putterforth, Putterman, Stutterford, Stutterforth, Stutterman

Dibster's rather good, but already used in Porterhouse Blue!

Faffer
ie someone who faffs, wastes time - I can't find the spelling for it anywhere, though.

Pootler? Echoes of Mr Pooter which you might not want though.

The character's pretty sinister, a nasty guy, so I'm looking for some kind of similar play-off against the seeming innocuous, homely, yet also somehow creepy name. It's tricky.

Thanks everyone.

Medlar? as in 'meddler'? And I like Trickett. Tickell? Specially since until recently it would have been pronounced 'tickle'.
