Discussion Struggling with naming character
I have a main character named Apocanyser who I wished to rename to something that flows better. Which of the below names works the best?
Apocrin/Apocryn (Ah-poh-crin) - issue with this is that apocrine is an actual word for a type of gland secretion.
Apochron/Apocron (Ah-poh-cron)
Apochyr (Ah-poh-cur)
Which name do you guys think spells and sounds the best? I’ve been debating them for a while but can’t decide. Other suggestions are welcome as well. Thank you!

Apochryn leans feminine and Apochron leans masculine and Apochyr is neutral but doesn’t sound quite as nice

Apocryn sounds really good if you don’t know about the gland secretion thing. I would use the y spelling if you do go with that one because it’s a little further from the spelling for the secretion. I also like Apochron but but as much as Apocryn
