What's in a name - Ernest Beauregard

Ernest Beauregard's story just came to me in an instance... the idea of an angmor sticking a ear pick into his eye was a bit violent and interesting. Ernest's name was chosen with care.

Ernest is also spelt "EARnest" so it's quite apt. According to thinkbabynames.com...

The boy's name Earnest \e(a)-rne-st, ear-nest\ is a variant of Ernest (Old German), and the meaning of Earnest is "serious; battle to the death".

"Beauregard" apparently, according to thinkbabynames.com...

The boy's name Beauregard \be(au)-regard, beaur(e)-ga-rd\ is of French origin, and its meaning is "beautiful gaze".... The name can also mean "easy on the eye".
