Need help naming a male character!
So I'm notorious for my lack of creative boy names, so I'm looking for a little help here. I'm writing a story and need a name for a new character. He's not a main character, just a subplot, if that's any importance. I haven't really fully developed him in my mind which is probably why I'm struggling with names. But he's a nice guy, a bit goofy and one of those guys who's so sweet it's almost too good to be true. I imagine him having light hair and not the most convential sort of good looking. So maybe a name that's not super masculine, a little soft but not too feminine. I don't really need middle names, but feel free to suggest away because I'm always on the look out for boy names, haha.Edited to say I should mention that this story will be taking place in England in the late 70s.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/139762

Elliot. Or however you wish to spell it

Hmm, Elliot doesn't seem to fit with him. Probably because I think of Law and Order SVU and Elliot is super manly. Thanks anyways!

I'm not too firmiliar with that character from that show since i don't watch it but reading your description, its kind of how I envision the name.
On some light features, goofy type of guy who's a really nice & decent guy & enjoys life. The name also doesn't scream overly masculine. At least all in my option (: Other suggestions (I'll just list random names since we probably see them differently)Andrew or Drew
Aaron
Douglas
Harry
Boyd
Leroy
parker
Miles
Wes
Quincy
Paul
Oliver
Rodger
Allan
Jackson
Dean
Max\maxwell Any of those?

I think if it weren't my assiocation with the show, I'd probably think the same. It has nice soft qualities but I can't help my prevous bias!!I like Max, I've always liked Max, although I feel like it's wasted on a side character because I do love it so much. Wes isn't bad though, I can see that one definitely working. Thanks for your suggestions!
