[Opinions] Corvo?
About a year ago a video game came out called Dishonored (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishonored). It was pretty cool in an artsy Lovecraftian sort of way and really drew me in-- the main character is a royal bodyguard by the name Corvo Attano (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/corvo). Compared to the rest of the names in the game it was "weird". Definitely grew on me as I played though, to the point now where I really, really like. Been thinking a lot about it lately... what do you guys all think of Corvo?
Other names from the game if you're interested:Jessamine (Empress)
Emily (princess)
Callista
Vera
Maria
Melissa
Billie
Abigail
Thalia
Lizzie

Corvo means crow in Portuguese. People here in Brazil would find it strange.

That sounds like a really cool game! I think I'd like it. Really neat names. I think they captured the sort of medieval-steampunk-Orwellian-Lovecraftian mood pretty well!
