What do you think of the name? And what comes to mind when you hear it?

Ender Wiggin/Ender's GameFYI, Ender Wiggin is the main character in a very, very popular series of sci-fi books by Orson Scott Card.(Ender's real name is Andrew)The book Ender's Game is about a futuristic Earth that has been repeatively attacked by an alien civilization. Ender is taken away from his family at age 6 to go to Battle School, where he trains with other children to save the world. It sounds like a kids' story, but it's not. Ender ends up killing several other children and is tricked into becoming a mass murderer.I love the books, but I'm not sure about naming a kid after Ender. I believe several obsessed fans of the books have. Also, an Ender's Game movie is in the works.

Well it looks rather like Ember, but rather like and end. It also rhymes with fender, tender, defender, render and a few other words I can't think of right now. Mostly it just makes me think of an End. I don't think I really like it very well, sorry. :(

Yes, I believe Ender was a babyfied nn of his real name Andrewbut it's been a while since I read those books, I could be wrong. It worked very well in the books, but I would certainly never use this for a real boy.~Lillian~

Ender? It's an unreal verb form apparently... a label perhaps? The Ender - the one who ends it all!... no, apparently it's next installment of Lord of the Rings.:
