Everyone thought Gabe was short for Gabriel, but it wasn’t until he started dating a girl in my grade that we found out his name was really Gable. His mom was a fan of Clark.

Aldo makes me think of shoes, and I prefer Ignatius to the (related) Inigo, but these are all valid alternatives – especially in the middle spot, a great place for a hero name!

Why not names of architects instead of objects? Some interesting ones:

Inigo
Rem
Tadao
Aalvar
Cesar
Aldo
Jorn
Gustav
Marcel

Zaha

I also “Rennie” like Charles Rennie MacKintosh….

You could go crazy with surnames too if you wanted.

I don’t think it works as well as Archer and Gable, but it would work better than Dormer. I think Raf could be quite an appealing nickname.

It feels both modern and traditional, somehow. Gable is so cute! I like it a lot, actually. It’s a much cooler sounding name to me than Clark.
