Update. I think I finally landed on a name for the protagonist of my story.
Since it's urban fantasy and my protag is supposed to be a normal person at the beginning of this story I wanted to pick a name that's normal and real but could still stand out.
This protagonist, the protagonist of my first ever big writing project is kinda like my child so I didn't want to rush a name but after a week of thinking and research I think I have it.
Bell Locke
It's hard to explain but once it came to me it just felt right. First came his surname Locke. Locke seemed like a perfect fit. I needed a surname the protagonist and his deceased 900 year old uncle could share to have a kind of legacy effect.
Now as for Bell, maybe a little unconventional for a modern day boys name but I felt drawn to it. I feel like Bell is already a common enough name that people won't question it but it still feels kind of fresh and unique.
So yeah, the protagonist's name is Bell Locke and on a side note his Uncle that sealed up the 72 spirits has the surname Loc.
