Okay, so this bat pretends to be emo (even though he's anything but) and thinks he's a vampire (hey, he just might be). I plan to use him in a comic but I can't come up with a good name! Any suggestions would be welcome! ceilidhofone.deviantart.com/art/Nameless-Bat-152010215

Jinky? Girk, Tid, Terri, Zinc, Wiggi, Bill, Pal, Curtis, .. something short with a soft 'i', starting with a short consonant, and maybe ending with a long one, like Kiv. (But 'v' is too deep and mysterious for him). Nip, Sid.. Hmm. Now that I think of it, every consonant really does have it's own character associations. Some change in context though, like 'r's and 's's.

The recommendations I got from others were Devin, Tori, Mikey, Zach, Guyver, Rodney, Daryll, Luca, Malikai, Rease, Azrael, and Ash...

Luca was a main character in Chrono Trigger... Oh wait, maybe that was Lucca.
The more I think about it, the more I like Ash. WOuldn't wanna call him Azrael, though. You don't name a vampire after an angel, he'd burst into flames every time you called his name.

Mikey and Zach also occurred to me, but then I ruled them out. Ash could work. He has the right attitudie for a Lucas. Az, maybe. He's not a fruit bat?

No, he's not a fruit bat. He's not a "vampire bat" either. He's a Spotted Bat, AKA Jackass Bat, from the family of Vesper bats. Their main diet is grasshoppers and moths. They're a somewhat rare species and I hadn't seen one made into a furry yet. Vampires come up as a character trait, not species, since he thinks he's a bloodsucker.
I'm already sketching out comics featuring this guy. I hope to have his name worked out before I get very far with these.

Ah, that's like Kbpinkie pretending to be an arrow poison frog and trying to shoot himself with a bow.
You could nick-name him Vespa. Cool that you know your bats.

Vespa? That's not just girly, that's the name of the druid princess in Spaceballs...
None of these names sounds quite right for him, but I think I've got it narrowed down. I like Ash, Mikey/Michael, Zach, and Tori best... I might just go with Ash because, as a comic book character, the shorter his name, the better for text placement. Although, the other three names sound funner, and this is fun-loving hyperactive character.

Tori is a gals name too. Zack is like halfway between zany and wack. It's short for some biblical dude, Zacharias, whom I know nothing about.
