    Nigel and Clayton both sound like beefy men with mustaches and cigars. Aiboh sounds like a kind man, though maybe wouldn't be too accustomed to city life. Jeshurun sounds like a name from the Bible. Malachi sounds like a male warrior/hunter. Galun sounds like a powerful man too. Perry and Joseph sound like businessmen on the top of the corporate ladder. Coppelia makes me think of an young girl dressed in furs. Lucrecia sounds like an old lady wearing too much perfume. Ophelia sounds like a middle-aged (again, rich) lady with a beauty mark. Francesca sounds like an plain Italian girl with brown hair, brown eyes. Rosaline sounds like a nanny or a cook.
