A poll, a poll!

I decided, on the spur of the moment, to sign up for NaNoWriMo. I'll see how far I get, but anything that gets me to write fast is a good thing as long as it lasts. I will write in German, that should improve my speed tremendously.
It's a heroic fantasy set in a pseudo-medieval semi-Scottish/Anglo-Saxon culture, with a strong mystery element and an even stronger buddy storyline. The plot has been in my head for ages, it's just a matter of getting it out on paper. I still have to name my characters, though. Maybe you can help me?

ETA: Ack, I forgot to add the name Derek to the list of names for hero #1. So, you can vote for that too. Just check "Other".

[Poll #602620]

If you think one of the names is really dreadful and totally unsuitable, please tell me in the comments.

We don't need another heroooooo

Thank you, guys, for answering my poll. Okay, sly!hero's name is now definitely Rhain MacAelfin. Of course I don't want two heroes whose names start with 'R', so much favored Rodric is now a definite no-no. Joran, Cedric, and Logan are runners-up. Can't make up my mind. Am using 'Logan' as a placeholder for now. Let's see how it looks tomorrow.

I have a few gaps in my text and sections where I know I'll have to rewrite, but so far I am turning a blind eye. Speed is what counts.
I hope I'll have time to write tomorrow. I have to prepare Thursday's class...
Oh, and since I don't like the official nanowrimo icon thingie, does anyone have a nice motivational icon for me? Like Jensen Ackles in a Highlander kit? Or two tiny Highlanders traipsing through a mountainous Skandinavian landscape? No? Never mind. :-)
