Help[Opinions] Character name
I need a name for a Character. A boy about the age of 17 living in UK but his family aren't from England.
It is preferable for it to be a short name.
It can't be too popular in the UK or US.
It would be nice if it is multinational (I don't know if that's the right word) (has multiple languages that use the name).
He would be half Slovenian and half Spanish/Basque.
Names I have though of but I can't / don't want to use:
Cvetko
Erik
Igor
Marko
Pablo

Some form of Max is used across most of the world.
Maxamed (Somali)

Maximo (Spanish, Portuguese)
Maxmilián (Czech)
Maxille (Louisiana Creole)
Maximián (Aragonese)
Maximos (Greek)
Maxl (German)
Maxliyo (Uzbek)
Maximilian is also the name of a Catholic Saint and so used across the Catholic world

So where is his family from? That would inform the choice of name he'd be given. A Spanish family would probably not name their kid Svetko, and a Russian family wouldn't name him Pablo.
He would be half Slovenian and half Spanish/Basque. I'll add that to the original post
