Suggestions needed...

[bk_forever]

I could use a little help, so all you fans of my ongoing fic Through Time and Space, what I need is an alias for Ianto to use in his travels, a name he can call himself when he's among people he may not want knowing his real identity.

Any suggestions?

Can I suggest Angelo Moriondo (inventor of the espresso coffee machine)? lol

[bk_forever]

LOL! You can indeed! I'm making a list and I'll try to use all the suggested names in fics at some point.

Thank you!

Drew Eaton. The name just came to me. No idea why. ;)

Good name, thanks. I'm making a list and I'll try to use all the suggested names in fics at some point.

Thank you!

A very common name like James, or David, or even John and for a last name a common Welsh name. Something you would hear everyday without even looking up.

Evans, Hughes, llewellyn... Hmmmm, Desmond Llewellyn, everyone's favourite Q. That's a name Jack would recognise.

(Or he could call himself Sean Connery or Daniel Craig... LOL!)

Thank you!

can't do "James Bond" - too ..expected, I guess.
John Smith - too obvious.

Ian James? It's like Ian Fleming + James Bond

[bk_forever]

Interesting ideas! I wouldn't put it past Ianto to use James Bond - out in space, how many people would get it? Jack would, of course. And with weird names in space, any combination would be valid. Fleming Bond, James Fleming, or even something like Harper Bond or James Sato.

I'm making a list and I'll try to use all the suggested names in the fic at some point.

Thank you!

I thought of John Harper in rememberance of his Torchwood friends.and because the English of Ianto is John I think.

Good thinking, thank you!

Maybe one of the other Welsh variants of John such as Ieuen or Ifan and then a common surnames like Evans or Thomas?

Or maybe John Taylor, fairly unremarkable name, but English version of Ianto and what he said his dad's job was, tailor.

Good suggestions, thank you! I kind of like Ifan Taylor, so that's a possibility...

Maybe you could look at the squads of the Welsh football or rugby squad and mix and match first names with surnames?

If you want a Welsh name, that is.

Well, there's no reason to stick to a Welsh name as he's out in space and few people are going to have even heard of earth, never mind Wales, I just needed something Ianto could reasonably have come up with, and I've settled on what he'll use as him primary alias, though he might use other names from time to time so I'm hanging on to all aliases for future use.

Now I need suggestions to give Ianto's TARDIS a name, since he's neglected to do that. Soon she's going to be asking him, Why do I not have a name? ;)

Thank for the idea =)
