Hi Sara,
I had to reject a lot of names I liked (e.g., "The Thinker") because they were already in use. I find "Cogitationist" rather clumsy; I'm guessing other creators think so, too, since a search of the web did not reveal any superhero or villain with that name. But while part of me is not fond of that moniker, another part is delighted with it, since it is very in keeping with the thinks-he-is-smarter-than-he-actually-is-and-never-misses-an-opportunity-to-advertise-his-supposed-brilliance character in my story.
This was definitely a case where a seeming obstacle resulted in a stronger story.
Thanks for the feedback,
Lynn
