Pre-Production Unit: Research - The True Protagonist's Name

With the new changes comes Vision’s new part in the film: pretending to be a friend of Perry’s and helping Sean and Zoe with finding him. This scenario requires Vision to talk to the two of them meaning he can’t go by the name ‘Vision’.

The next step is for Vision to go by another name, one that would help to make Sean snap out of the delusion: his own name. This means the TP now needs a name to be used as Vision’s ‘pseudonym’.

I wanted a name that had a secret meaning or was symbolic: a name that was relevant to the film. So I started looking online to find names that had meanings like ‘real’ ‘false’ ‘truth’ and ‘true’. I found three names that interested me the most: Justin, Archie and Trigg.

Justin:

Justin literally means 'just' or 'true'. It's also a used name in the UK making the name much more convincing.

Trigg:

Trigg means 'true' in Norwegian. I quite like this name for how unique it is and can be safely assumed to be a nickname for someone. 

Archie:

Archie is the abbreviation for Archibald and is combined from two Germanic words meaning 'genuine' and 'bold'. It can also mean 'true'.

I've chosen to go with the name Archie for the TP and Vision as it's meaning is accurate to the film but it's also a relatively unique name. I didn't want my character's names to disappear and be forgotten about because they're too 'generic' so Archie will fit nicely with this criteria.
