Characters for a story?

The other male is named Sawyer, he is a carpenter.
The female in the group is a thief and a mage. Her name is Emalyn, which won't be revealed until later in the story.
The main male is hard. He's going to be a former soldier with PTSD, probably, who's just wandered into a world that he never knew existed (this is a fantasy novel, by the way.) His name was originally going to be Elias, but I recently read a book where the character's name was Elias, and he was also a soldier. I want to be different.
The story is going to be based off Arthuranian mythology. While I'm not married to a name found in the legend, I would like it to be English in origin. Maybe Welsh, Irish, or Scottish.
Thanks!
