Ok, so the main character of this book I'm writing has the nickname Joe. But I need a full name relating to Joe that's unique and that no one would think of. Like really unique and symbolizes something. Any ideas?

I'm sure you already have a list of names that you've come up with, but if you need some inspiration, here are some ideas that might help:

* Joe could be named after his father

* Joe could be named after his grandfather or great-grandfather

* Joe could be named after his mother or grandmother

* Joe could be named after a pet he had growing up

* Joe could be named after someone who died when he was young (but not too young) and who he really admired.
