Writing Question

What would you name a 12-year-old handsome vampire?

I'm writing a story about a young vampire who lives in a forest with his creator, and he finds a human girl, Elizabeth who he falls deeply in love with, despite his creator's dismay. The only issue is I do not know what to name him! :(
I was thinking of calling this character Darien or Damian, but I am not sure. Can someone please help me?

Dracula and Mina Murray were the couple that inspired me to write this story, sort of :)

Character names should make sense for the character first, and "sound good" second. Whether a particular name makes sense for the character depends entirely on details of your story you haven't provided as part of your AR: where was the character born, and when? Which names were typical from that time and place?

For instance, an author might love the name "Caravaggio", but it wouldn't make sense for an Aleut girl, just as "Ines" wouldn't work for a woman in 18th century Boston. Sure, anybody could be named anything, but names can become stumbling blocks for readers if they stray too far from a believable norm for the time and place.

The cool thing about a vampire story is that the character could hail from a very different time and place, but as an author you have to decide what that place and time was, and then choose a name accordingly.

That the vampire would protect the girl from his ex and eventualy kill the ex. Then the vampire and girl would stay together for a long, long time...
