What should I name my tired boi?

So I'm making this character for my story (he's a supporting/side character) and I can't decide on a name for him. He sleeps a lot, doesn't really like interacting with people, is made of sarcasm, constantly exhausted, will fuck you up with his fire powers (that I haven't developed yet) if you fuck with his children (his children are just damaged and sort of idiotic humans/demons he protects). He's the son of a man who's basically a god and a human woman, so although he can regenerate after death and isn't easily killed, he can be killed by anyone (you just have to do it a specific way).

Names I've been considering:

  • Phoenix
  • Enzo
  • Quinton
  • Dexter

The reason I wanted to call him Phoenix is because he basically is one, or at least my version of one. But at the same time, I don't know if that'll come off as uncreative, lazy, or uninteresting.

What do you think?

@CopperQueen

I like Quinton, it fits and it's original and cool!

I also like Quinton, maybe he can be known as Phoenix as like a code name?

@sharkfinn_ey

I think quinton is best, as Dexter to me is a bit of a steriotypical villian name. Phoenix is cool as a code name, but enzo doesn't fit at all in my eyes.
Also Quinton is rather cute, but fierce as well

@SaltyLasagna

Yeah, I like Quinton too, I just don't like the soft tone it brings because my character is the opposite of soft. I've also been considering Samil

@CopperQueen

Yeah Samil is pretty great if you're trying to make a tough, but not stereotypical character.

Quinton is still a good alternative tho, he could even express how he doesn't like the softness of it.

@SapphireLeopardess

Maybe a name like Tristan would work, it's cool and still sounds 'fantasy' enough. but i really like quinton too.
