HelpLong, masculine name that has a "trickster" feel to it
I'm looking for a masculine (or neutral gender, I suppose) name that's long*, any language/nationality, very old, and has a "mythological trickster figure" feel to it (please don't suggest Loki --that name's so overused on the sites I'm on).
*I would prefer if it was longer, but if it fits in all other ways than post it anyway, please.
Another optional: It'd be cool if it was a "purple" name. Not that it means purple, but that the name itself is a shade of purple. But, nevermind; if names/words have colors for you then they're almost definitely going to be different than they are for me.
It'd be cool if it seemed somehow mysterious, too.
It can also seem feline. Feline's good.
Oooh, V names might be likely to fit.

The first name that popped into my head was Gunnar. Just don't ask.
