I like Idris, depending on enunciation. The meaning (in either Arabic or Welsh) is really awesome.

I'm not sure how to pronounce Aeolus, exactly, but I don't like the look of it anyhow.

I think they're both usable. There is a British actor called Idris [Elba, from The Wire].

on Aeolus...

ee-oh-lus

Didn't you ever see the tv show Hercules? Aeolus was his trust side-kick :P Well, they spelled it Iolaus...

Once or twice. I was all about Xena. ;)

Thanks. The naming guide [here] confused me. I wasn't sure about the... upside down "e". =P

Same here! I don't know anyone (aside from Bastien here on the boards) that knows how to read those proper pronunciation guides! I wouldn't have known how it was said if I hadn't heard it :/ I wish we had the little sound bites, for each name, so that we could hear how they were said!

And... yah, Zena > Hercules most definitely, but the latter always showed just before the former so I watched them both lol

ETA: One of the best things about those shows were the cool names! Iolaus, Callisto, etc lol
