Comments for the name Odovacar

I just saw this name pop up because of the Name of the Day thing. This name looks cool, but when I say it out loud it sounds like "auto maker". Or similar to, not exactly, obviously.

Recorded in the Saxon period in England as Eadwaćer and Edwaćer, and also as an occupation Ead-wacer (watchman, security-guard). The two elements are Ead-, (inherited) property, implicitly fortune, happiness, status, nobility; and waćer (with ć as as in ćealc, chalk) a variant of wacor, vigilant, watchful, alert.
