Me?
None.
So I thought about Radcliff(e). It's okay, but I still really like Rothenberg for the name. However, it just doesn't seem to fit with Riggs' accent, and that's how I hear his voice. So there's no changing that. He's old southern to the bone, with his y'alls, and gals, and all that good jazz.
But what is a name, really? How important is it to the story?
My personal opinion: EXTREMELY.
If I don't have the right name, I can't go on. That's why I'm so picky with the name game (also why it was so hard to name my little lovebug - it had to be perfect). *Sigh* The things a writer puts him or herself through. Some times I wonder why I do, but then I remember...
I <3 it. =)
Until next time!

Names are extremely important and worth the time to get right. It's okay to use one as a place saver until you find the perfect one. And when you find it, you know it. Just keep thinking, looking at those baby name books, and listening to your character.
I go through the same thing. I completely stop a project and start another one all because I can't come up with a name for my character. I disgust myself sometimes...lol
Have you tried picking a state or city and looking up the phone book listing under "R"? Once that worked when my hubby and I couldn't agree on the surname for a key family. Good luck!
