Well, from where was I supposed to get his voice? ;)
It's my voice and I *am* Nordic but I didn't intentionally make his voice
Nordic.

The voice really is a problem because my English pronunciation is terrible
and I then I also don't have proper recording equipment.

*sigh*

BTW, of course my own voice isn't really like that - I changed my voice and
afterwards I changed it digitally too.

My knowledge about local American stereotypic attitudes is not too good, but
you're probably right.

Exactly.

Well, I was more thinking of an intergalactic hero or something like that.
But of course that would be difficult to tell when I haven't provided any
context yet.

Hmm, maybe. But I also want the name to be unique.

To make it unique I would then say something like "Mark the Alien" or "David
the Alien". Hmm, those two don't sound very good, but I'm sure it would work
with another "normal" name.

Thanks for the feedback!
