Help Me Name The Heroine
Help me name the heroine for my up coming educational game. There is a PNG of the sprite above, take a look at the sprite and bio and tell me what do you think is appropriate. You can answer in the bio or this thread and I will record the results below.

If you do not have a suggestion for the name, vote for your favourite name in a short message below!

Current Suggestions:

Hyperbola Suggests:
  Riye - Blessed with logic
  Rieko - Child blessed with logic
  Riyeko - Child blessed with logic

PaulRHJT Suggests
  Ryoko (亮子) as in "clever child"
  Sumiko (澄子) as in "clear thinking child"
  Yoshiko (芳子) as in "good/correct/joyful child"

Background

The heroine came to be because of a suggestion from Paddle2See in the concept for the game I am currently developing:

http://i46.tinypic.com/io16q1.png

Since then I have spent a great deal of time learning and creating vector images for my INFINITY MATH project. I finally came up with a decent template for the heroine; still, I am struggling to find her a name. To alleviate this and show that I am making some progress I decided to make this short, but sweet bio for her. Now you can become acquainted with the new character.

Take a look at the bio and tell me what name pops out to you?

Re: Suggest A Name (Background Provided)

I adjusted my example side scroller to give a possible player an decent example of what the animations of the heroine will look like in game. While it is still very incomplete it will help you with the decision of selecting her name.

Re: Suggest A Name (Background Provided)

Added attack animations with an attack button to queue up attacks. Try hitting the attack button twice fairly fast and see what happens.

Re: Suggest A Name (Background Provided)

Be sure to view the video of her in an early version of the game. Since the transition to Scratch 2.0 is happening sooner than I thought I had to move up my timeline. I would like to have some more community input before I name her; still I would like her named before 2.0 is released.
