I always think of Gothic names as “darkly romantic” sounding - so yes, something like Tristan, Heath, Bram, Nathaniel, Alaric, Caspian, Armand, Lysander, Maxim, Lucas/Lucian or maybe even something more commonplace like Alexander, Gabriel or Edward ( if you go by the anti- hero’s in books).

Flopsy145 · 14/03/2024 19:58

Thank you all some very cool ideas!
@IamnotwhouthinkIam that's what I've always thought about as well, Edward is the one that's stayed on my list really and seeing it here a few times I'm thinking it might be the way to go!

Nandor Fodor was also a famous (in his day) paranormal investigator:

So a bit Gothic.
