He is a wizard. Some people told me I would better make the name normal instead of making it weird and all. Do you like it?

It sounds a bit too insipid for a king with magic powers. It might do for a callow Luke Skywalker-type hero however, or a smarm, or a traitor. Maybe if he wasn't a particularly dominant person in himself, a weak king who had inherited the throne, it might be appropriate.
How about King Dampfwalze? (German for 'steamroller')

No, I like the Halloran name or whatever you said before. But I don't think the name of the king is all that important. It is the story that really matters.

Stop obessing over the king's name for now--it's stopping you from writing. Put in King X whenever you have to call him by name, and focus on your story. His name may become clear to you as you write.
