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.

Good luck! NaNoWriMo is getting attention here;The Boston Globe ran this article about it this morning.

Thank you, dear. :-)
Current word count: 1174 words.

I promised the kids I'd buy them something nice if I manage to get the novel written by end of November. Maybe that will help. :-)
