Can anyone come up with a name?

I need a name for a male character that's kind of like a zombie hunter.

First name and last name. It's for a story I'm going to write.

Try going to baby name sites and searching for qualities you want (names are supposed to have "meanings"). So if you want a hunter-type, you can search for a name that means "strength", or "courage".

Or you could just create a fake name altogether. Say it out loud to make sure it flows nicely.

If the story is meant to be comedic, you could go for the obvious joke and call him Hunter O'Zombies.

Otherwise, I'd recommend giving him just a regular guy name, assuming you want to anchor your story in reality. Real people don't get named Maverick McAwesome.

It has to have Belmont in there.

Heck, it can be his first name.

Belmont Tunover.

^^All well and good if your kid ends up a treasure hunter or a sky pirate or something similarly exciting. What happens if he decides to be a plumber, though? People'll call him up expecting to see him jump the Grand Canyon on a rocket-bike, and he'll just come over and snake out their drains (not innuendo). Eventually the poor boy will feel like he's undershooting everyone's expectations by being merely a great plumber. "My nomenclature demands I have at least one apocalyptic battle against hordes of leather-clad mutants out in the boonies. But I really have to hook up that new water heater at the gym...plus, I don't have a hockey stick with a machete duct-taped onto the blade. I'm a terrible action hero."

The one I came up with can be used seriously. The only joke is how detailed it was.

A good one for comedy would be Staff Sergeant Dwight J. Morgan, who was a real soldier who really died in Afghanistan, & whose name was accidentally made into a joke by the single worst episode of the already horrific 7th Heaven.

His first name should be Strom. If his name is not Strom, you suck.
