This is for a Gandalf-like character, but D'or has more to learn. WDYT?

DOH
Reminds me of "doh" w/ an r added... kinda dorky as a fn... might be ok as a surname.

I don't like it on a person, it would make me feel that the parents were trying to come across as more cultured than they really were. Sorry to be blunt. On a character however, it is fine.

Armistead Maupin has a character in his writings named Dorothea, who goes by D'or. When I hear it, I think of her.

I think D'or should be his last name, and he should have a different first name.

Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere has a character named Door in it, so I'd think it was sorta ripped off from that. And it does look like d'oh.
Probably okay if you put a French noun in front of it to make a phrase name. Or if you just took out the apostrophe and made it Dor.
- mirfak, skeptically

"of gold" ?
No. It's too tacky and reminds me of "D'oh!"

It's fine; but posting under multiple names in a short period of time is a typical troll move so that's why I asked.

Oh Haha nope. Is that the only reason you suspected trolldom of me? If there's anything else, I want to know. What do you think of D'or?

No other reasons. D'or means "Of gold" in French so that is my first reaction. My second is that it's very trashy-sounding on a real person. Maybe it would be alright in a fantasy novel...I don't like fantasy, though :/
