But as far as naming a child, I wouldn't exactly think, "Doogie is very sophisticated sounding~"

And since this is for a fantasy/sci-fi type series it might be adjusted a bit to like, "Toogie" or something lol
no it really is not (LOL)

Yeah, I tried some random name generators, but a lot of times they come up with super ridiculous things that don't even sound like a name lol

There's a lot of dated ones in English, too. Like Pearl or Bertha or something would sound like an old lady
oh yeah I checked those in the past for writing and its' just so absurd
feel free to use any of my fam's ridiculous names
