Um...slightly less feminine (?) version of Dr Brown + portrait of Anya(the nurse)


Personally I prefer his face when it's more feminine and without the glasses, but it wouldn't suit his character in the game though.
I'm really fussy with names, boy's name is especially difficult...I need to think of a geeky name for him but I just can't find a suitable name!
He's called"Dr Brown" for now(named after his hair colour= =)but I'll probably change his name in the future, when I've got inspiration for cool names.

Anya

After researching sites of baby's names, I discovered that a lot of Russian names sounds really pretty!
She looks so innocent and sweet. But when I look at her I kept thinking of Silent Hill...

How about Adrian? =D That's a nerdy name. Have to say, loving the art for the game. Don't skimp on drawing hands though!

Thanks!
Dr. Adrian? "Adrian" sounds very classic...it reminds me of historians for some reason.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Typically, one good way to give a male character an intellectual or sophisticated sounding name is to take a name that's so long or so proper-sounding that anyone in their right mind would use the shortened form of it, and then make him use the long form of it. Bartholomew, Alexander, Benjamin, Frederick, Timothy, Leonard, etc. The same thing works, to a lesser extent, with two-syllable names that are almost always shortened, like Samuel or Stephen.

Of course, intellectual and sophisticated isn't the same thing as nerdy. You might be looking for something more like Sheldon or Simon. The kind of name that no one has any more, and has no shortened form, so if you get it you're screwed for life.

That's quite a lot of cool names!
However nerdy names are usually very long...
Personally Alexander is my favourite nerdy name but "Doctor. Alexander" just sounds like some kind of tongue twister.
ooh I really like the name Samuel - it's short and sophisticated!

If you want a "nerdy" sounding last name, go with something Jewish. Like Bernstein or Roth. Or even a first name like Aaron or Bernard will work too as a surname, but then you'll need to come up with a suitable first name too.

NOT PERPETUATING STEREOTYPES, REALLY

edit--

Polish surnames will work too (like Kowalski or Wachowski)

Check out this site for suitable last names:

STILL NOT PERPETUATING ANY STEREOTYPES HERE
