For any writers who want a really badass sounding name:
"Endlich" is German for "Finally"

@ravens

Ooh that's really cool!

@ninja_violinist

As a German it's hilarious to me that that sounds badass to you because to me it sounds like a very soft silky word

here, have some more random German words (they don't actually sound cool but they make me laugh when I overthink them):

"Scherzkeks" - joke biscuit (someone who makes a lot of jokes)
"Streichholz" - stroke wood (match)
"Flugzeug" - flight thing (airplane)
"Fusshupe" - foot honk (small dog)
"Kummerspeck" - misery bacon (fat you gain from comfort food)
"Vollpfosten" - absolute pole (heavy insult)
"Schmetterling" - smashling (butterfly)

@blue_topaz

Sadly, Bois is pronounced "Bwahs" (the s is very quiet) instead of the objectively superior "Boys".
On the bright side, Oeuf is pronounced "oh-oof"
