I'm running into a problem while writing PSII stories, and that is I don't like Rudo's full name. My issues:
1) Rudolf Steiner, historically, is a well-known philosopher, and it's such a character clash for PSII's Rudo.
2) His alternate name, Rudger, doesn't nickname to Rudo, and I also don't care for the spelling. I would have preferred Rüdiger, Rutger or Rudgar, which have more history as given names.
3)Rudolf as a given name is par ridiculous in the USA, since Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is by far the most prevalent association with the name.
4)I've seen Rudoga as a variant of his Japanese name (I think), but I'm not sure how I feel about using it in my stories. Is it too obscure?
I'm leaning towards using Rudoga, but maybe I should just leave his name as Rudolf and learn to deal with its ridiculousness.
Important information for consideration: I use Rudo most of the time when referring to him in my stories, but eventually his full name will come up.
