My book is set in England, on the year 1831
The hero of my story is an inspector. He is tall, dark haired, pale skinned, medium built.... a very proper gentleman who accepts nothing but facts--nothing sentimental and stuff. His first name is Frederick, but I can't think of a suitable last name. AND in my story, I'm going to be referring to the hero not by his first name, but his last name, so.....something suitable, please. Nothing like..... "Browne" because It doesn't suit. E.g.) Browne looked at the dead body and knew that..... etc.,
These are the names I've thought of:
Gerald
Rutherford
Rotherford
Lydgate
Grammond
Renfield
Ranfield
Runfield
Redclyffe
Rawdon

Rutherford sounds more suitable for the character in your book especially because he's an inspector. it even sounds suitable, Frederick Rutherford. "Rutherford looked at the dead body.... etc."
Sounds professional too. good luck on the book!

My vote is for Rutherford. Frederick Rutherford is a neat name for a hero in a novel.

Scofield or Holmlund or Mendgen.
I think the names that you have so nicely lined up for us are a bit too overused and predictable.
Good luck on the book!

I've always preferred names that are incongruous. A first name and a last name that are so mis-matched, they actually fit.
You can have your detective have a name that is so embarrassing that he is only referred to by his last name, or you can name him "Rutherford Lydgate".

I think you should name him Frederick Hero. This isn't a sarcastic answer. I think it would be ironic and cool.
