Dragonflymagic answered Thursday March 6 2014, 5:23 pm: My idea is to look up the names of prisons or their locations to use for names.
A good first name might be after the prison San Quentin.
And variations would be Quenten, Quinton, Quintus. I actually know someone whose first name is Quintus. So it stands out as being different and folks from hearing the names of famous prisons may easily make a connection in their mind to someone bad.
You can do an online search for more prison related names by doing a search for "prison names" or 'famous prison names'. Good luck. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
