What about an Irish name - Podraig (I think that's porrig} or Seamus, or Cornelius? No really going to bed now...

Hector is a great name! Lovely and classical. Or Humphrey, nice and noirish. I'm rambling, go to bed!

Clay sounds like someone from an American soap opera like Sunset Beach. 'Clay Jorano'
