No. Morty is like the Latin Mort meaning "death" and I derived Thane from Thanatos, the Greek death god. Warren has war in it and Warner means "warrior". Fabian is the only F name I can think of. Page is a bit like "plague" and Perseus means "destroyer".

I'm quite sure Hades was the Greek god of death, and Thanatos was a daemon personification of death.

Hades is the god of the Underworld and the dead. Thanatos is the god of death. Much like Anubis is the god of the dead and the Duat, but Osiris is the god of death.

   Hmm. Thane sounds pretty cool for death, Morty sounds rather obvious, and nonthreatening besides. Sean also makes a degree of sense- Slay comes from old English slean, drop an L and it's Sean. That also doesn't sound very threatening, though.

   For War, I think Mar might be cool. Not only is it a word in its own right, (meaning 'destroy or disfigure', as war is apt to do) but it bears a similarity to Mars.

   Famine. Idk... Fames is the Latin root that famine is derived from, meaning 'hunger.' Not sure what to do with that, though. Fortunately, Google and Greek mythology can come to the rescue. Limos was the Greek godess of hunger and starvation. I think that works pretty well.

   Pestilence comes from Latin Pestis, meaning 'plague.' Not really sure on this one.

Hey you! What? Expecting a great quote or some heart-warming poem? Too bad, my signature is just boring. Stop reading it. Stop it. Why are you still reading it?

Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.
