So I have a (loose) plot, a reason for things happening (mostly, it's incidental to $protagonist's self-discovery - this is a Man v Self or Man v Society more than it is a Man v Man plot), and a climactic final battle (because I like climactic final battles)...

...but I still haven't named $protagonist, and for a variety of reasons I can't reuse the name I used the first time I used this basic plot idea. Sigh.

She's a half-orc raised by orcs, but I don't want to go with a Tolkien orc name, if for no other reason than my orcs aren't strictly evil or corrupted elves, there being no elves in that world anyway.

I'm thinking Anyitak or Sirikat. Ideas?
