I wound up renaming one of my characters to Kelvin. I like the look and sound of the name. Kelvin is much more unique then Kevin or any other names Kelvin looks like. I had never seen or heard of any Kelvins in real life or in books or T.V. Then the other night I was watching an episode of Hoarders on T.V while waiting for my other show to start. Any way the hoarders husband who was an older man in his 40's probably, his name was Kelvin. I couldn't believe that was the first one I had seen with that name.
