As for Clive Owen, I'm with you. The name doesn't really do it for me, but the man sure does! <br /><br />As for writing a synopsis... either I don't hate it quite as much as you or I'm a total wimp. Probably the latter. No way would I undergo surgery w/o drugs! <br /><br />SIS BethBeth Ciottahttp://www.bethciotta.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-9395816783653962582010-01-29T18:31:21.550-05:002010-01-29T18:31:21.550-05:00Mary, Funny you should mention a nod to Sean Conne...Mary, Funny you should mention a nod to Sean Connery. I had the same idea the other night. The one name I was touing with was Julian Connery (Jules for short). <br /><br />Also you said... "However, maybe you could have a one-named hero if you pick a name that could either be the given or the surname. Dalton. Preston. Connor."<br /><br />Actually, that's kind of col. I could have a lot of fun with a spy who goes by one name only.

Celtic?<br /><br />Richard... I know Shamus is a term for detective, but I like the ring of of. Maybe as a nickname. Not for my spy, but anouther hero perhaps. Going to keep that in mind! Also, you said... "If it's any help, keep in mind that for a VERY long time in British history, surnames were directly related to and/or taken from the person's profession,..." I don't think I knew that.

I'll try to think of some others, but it seems like everyone is coming up with some good stuff.SIS Brandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-28845343092904342122010-01-29T13:25:35.984-05:002010-01-29T13:25:35.984-05:00Simon.

Could he be Sean Moore or Sean Dalton? Sean Lazenby? Dalton Moore? <br /><br />Someone suggested Roarke but that name is SO completely entwined with the Eve-Roarke couple of the In Death series. However, maybe you could have a one-named hero if you pick a name that could either be the given or the surname. Dalton. Preston.

Too blatant ("shamus" being slang for "detective")?;) Chilton is just one of those Brit names I heard fairly often when in England, though admittedly more often as a given name. If it's any help, keep in mind that for a VERY long time in British history, surnames were directly related to and/or taken from the person's profession, changing even after their teen years. So, be creative -- "So-and-so Picket," ( a synonym for "spy") or such.
