    I’m really hoping that’s a real name in some other culture and that it just sounds unfortunate to English speakers, but at this point I’m never sure.

    Agreed. I mean I’ve only ever heard of one guy called Cable, and that was a superhero code name.

    So I looked it up and McKell is an actual surname, at least.
