I lean towards Titus, but mainly because I recently saw a production.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I like Demetrius too.

I like Benedick. To the non-Shakespearean folks, it conjurs up feelings of betrayal, a la Benedict Arnold. To me, it conjurs up pictures of Kenneth Branagh looking cute.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I think, alas, that it's either Bertram or Sebastian. Which is a pity, really, considering all the other names, but who he is and where he comes from has to be taken into account, as well.

Between those, Sebastian is better, imo.

I like Sebastian best as a name, though I could see Demetrius working. Bertram, to me, has a nerdy feel.

My only concern with Sebastian is that it may be too much of a hero name--a little too much with the sexy and dashing and not enough with the pompous arse-ness.
