On the nature of Nathan
I'm writing a young, dorky superhero. He's black and gay. Because I feel there needs to be more of that. Not just more positive characters of colour, but more positive LGBT characters.

Superhero naming conventions
So, I've got a superhero character (well, I've had him for years), but he needs a new name. The original name was "The Element" but that sounds horrible and I was 9 when I thought it up. I was thinking Thalos, but that's a river in Middle Earth (one of the six rivers on the Blue Mountain) and it doesn't really have the meaning I'm looking for (Torrent in Elvish). I suppose, Element made sense when I first started him because he had elemental powers, but I've been reformatting him and I'm not entirely sure that's the way I want to go with him.
HELP!

Between the general feeling of tiredness he had and the party that was thump thump thumping next door, concentrating was becoming a real chore. Sighing, he resigned to the idea he was going to get nothing done tonight.
"Nathan? Nathan! You're not really doing homework on a Friday, are you?" He heard from the door.
"Yeah, Dale, some of us have to work during the week." He mumbled in response.
