Suggestions from the audience

I need a name for a char­ac­ter. He is a sim­ply fel­low, or at least thinks of him­self as such, but when it comes to a sit­u­a­tion of great need he will some­how man­age to save the day and sur­prise even him­self in the process. He is nei­ther inno­cent nor unin­formed. He is in his late 20’s. He can be relied on to keep a secret. He always seems to be there when he is need­ed. He is not afraid to make a fool of him­self. He is brave when nec­es­sary, yet would rather it not be nec­es­sary.
Any ideas for a name for such a char­ac­ter let me know.

  1. Sam­wise! (No, hold on, I think that’s being used some­where else at the moment.)
    Angel­i­ca.
    Pierre.

  2. If female, it would have to be Jus­tine — the per­fect name for any char­ac­ter — if you short­en it, it does­n’t turn into a male equiv­a­lent. It’s some­one’s favourite name, I’m sure. And it’s in a book
    How about ‘Bob’?
