i’m writing, or at least planning to write, a novel involving a few high school kids in the early 2000’s. the boy i’m trying to rename is the one meant to fit the “nerd” trope; asocial, wears glasses, likes reading, etc.
his full name at the moment is beauden earnest affelberg. i like the surname, but the first and middle name feel very off to me... beauden feels like a quirky, frat boy kinda name, and earnest was just a fancy filler name i threw in. i was thinking of renaming him to beau, but it feels incomplete and doesn’t give off the same vibe beauden does.
so, i need your help choosing two new names for this boy. the first name shouldn’t sound too harsh and must start with the letter
