beatrice_otter: Mystique in X-Men gear from First Class (Mystique)
What would be a good mutant name for a guy who can hear/understand animals?  Something that a teen might think was cool but that a grown man might be slightly embarrassed about?

Just that he's "harkening" to the animals, and it's an odd sounding name, or a name that could embarrassingly give away his ability. Yet it does sound like it could be a name. A teen could be bothered by the harsh sound of it even, with that H and the hard Rs and the K. Unless he's British, and then the R would get lost

I have three kids who have been teens, with one in the offing. They embarrass surprisingly early and often, and often for the most mysterious of reasons.

It's certainly not an inspired choice, thus the "for what it's worth". It was the only thing that came to mind when I looked at the problem, and I figured that the more input you got, the easier it would be to make a choice. Sometimes having bad or mediocre choices to place beside the others makes a good choice stand out in better relief, or even allows you to see that a good choice is good.
