I like Ball, but I'm afraid it's too punny on a variety of levels. But sometimes punny isn't such a bad thing, and it *is* a real name, so I waffle undecidedly.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Always Anti-fascist!
If you like the pun, and he makes life hard on people, maybe Baines is better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd go with Baines.

I tried Baines last night, but I may switch to Bacon or Ball after all--I'd forgotten my vow never to give a character a name ending in "s" again. The possessive forms annoy me that much--Baines' looks wrong, because there's only one of him, but Baines's looks awkward. Maybe I'll go back to that Yorkshire surname list and see if Baine or Bain can be a name by itself, because it *does* suit the character...
ETA--and Bain it is.

To make it a proper *challenge* it should be "wet, non-porn"

He was born to be a fluffy white Persian-type cat, but fluffy was apparently against his religion. Buddhist, on the days when he stared at fallen baby birds in confusion; Rastafarian when it came to maintenance of fur.
So, on the appointed days, at the appointed hours, the Bath. In went a dignifed--if outraged--Burmese cat. Out came--
"My god, he's a Gremlin. One of the evil ones. Look at those ears."
"I'd watch the feet. There are claws at the ends of those scary toes."
Pale blue eyes promised death, at least until the warmed towel showed up, accompanied by tuna.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee! That's perfect.
Seabiscuit always looks at us like, "You freaks! Why would you do this to me?" And then we tease him, telling him it's no wonder he thinks he's just a small dog.

Has anyone experience with Amazon's self-publishing doohickey? Apparently you send them a pdf, or maybe a .doc and they make the .pdf, and they help you get an ISBN and list you on Amazon. Then, when someone buys your book, they print it out.
I'm so into cover art, and book feel and size and shape (porn) that I'm dubious, but it may be a YouTube sort of thing for books.
