Felix Character Name Change

I've been giving some thought to the name Felix for the main character, and as I have already stated, he's from a working class family in Boston. The name, to me, while it does fit the bill on opposing his character traits, doesn't fit his background. So I began looking into names that would suit more working-class family life, such names that don't sound overly 'posh' to a sense.

Some of the names I have thought might work are Kai, Kaiden, and Aidan. The one I think works best is Kai, as the name holds different meanings in different cultures, for example, it means 'fire' in Scotland, but in Hawaii it means 'ocean'. The other name, Kaiden means 'companion', which I feel would work as well, as it is meaningful to his relationship with Sky. Another meaning is 'warrior/fighter'.

Aiden/Aidan works well too, as the meaning of it is 'fiery/little fire'.

Another name I found was Ethan, meaning 'solid/enduring', 'firm/strong'

The reason behind creating a 'working class' character is to create a dynamic between him and Sky, who grew up in an upper-middle class environment, so they are pretty much polar opposites. Yet there is still an element of grace about the names, which allows the join the rank of trying to overcome stereotypes in the film (eg. name stereotypes and gay stereotypes).
