Help[Opinions] Halo
I have been working on a character for a while with no name, but this evening, while thinking about the character, the name Halo popped into my head. I feel it works really well for the character. But I'm not sure. Maybe there is something else that would work better. Something that wouldn't make me think of the video game. I like the celestial theme, which is present in a few other of my characters names: Angelo and Seraph. But what do y'all think? Any suggestions? And what are your thoughts on Halo?
I like the idea of the name, but I doubt I'd actually enjoy it on a person.

I don't like it on a person, but I like it on a character.
I recently met a little girl named Hayloe , which I thought was odd. But she went by Hay, so that was better at least.

I know that Halle Bailey (the new Little Mermaid) named her son Halo.
I don't know about using it for a person, but I named my African dwarf frog Halo!

It's too much, especially when you have other, fairly obvious, angel-themed names in the same story. Also, it sounds too much like "hello" and if any character ever says "Hello, Halo" it's going to sound ridiculous.
How about Tiara?

I know nothing about the video game, but Halo seems to fit well with your toher names, so I'd stick with it.
On its own, I think of the video game. Paired with Seraph and Angelo, it becomes part of a theme that distinguishes it. I think it works well for a character and maintains the celestial vibe without the names becoming "matchy."
I think Halo is good for a character. I wouldn't like it on a real person in real life though.
