Do you think Acton would suit a young boy?
Does the fact that it is a fairly common last name make a difference?
Does it make you think of a kid that's full of energy or a stodgy old man with a pipe?
As a side note:
Acton Bell was the pseudonym of Anne Bronte when the three sisters first began to publish under male names.
I also like the connection with Lord Acton. He was the one who first said, "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely."
