    I repeated this animation about 200 times and tried to get some sort of
feel for his personality, and I have some ideas.

    He is incongruous. He seems almost Nordic in his voice but seems like an
NY'er in his attitude. I suspect he is not too bright, but overconfident.
Not quite a Homer Simpson but certainly no Sean Connery. I think he is like
a mid-western Swede or Norwegian trying to fit into the big city.

    His name should be equally incongruous. Making it sound alien would be a
mistake I think. I think the more "normal" the name the more remarkable and
unusual it would seem.

    I might choose "Mark" or "David" (not "Dave") or something like that.
