I might have to add that to my list, thanks, Bear!
Yeah, I know the name
Mordecai isn't related to "mort" itself, but I think that might be part of why it seems so dark. I'm seriously rusty on my biblical characters, but I *think*
Mordecai was a decent fellow. Someone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually, all this is only making me like the name more. Maybe as a MN, though (I really don't need any more boys' names), since I'm especially liking the feel of
Thomas Mordecai. It's a nice replacement for the ol' GP of
Thomas Pluto, at any rate :D
