I've been browsing Greek mythology on the search for neat, meaningful names that can be used in fics. This one amused me exceedingly:

Alectryon: A Greek youth who Ares posted as a guardian by the door when he visited Aphrodite. Alectryon fell asleep during the night so that their lovemaking was discovered by Helios. As punishment, the boy was turned into a cock*.

*is twelve years old*

*"which since then never stops to announce the arrival of the sun", but we can disregard that.
