I'll keep thinking.
Wow, Seraphkin is actually a good name. I will seriously consider this.

Avians was floatingin my mind for sometime already...and I don't even know its meaning. Do you mind give me the actual meaning?

Garuda...uh, the first thing come to my mind when I see this is some monstrous, evil bird from Thai.....but it is a good name nevertheless. Maybe I will use the name for some evil winged character in my story.

Aviar is similar to Avian , I guess. What does Valkan mean?

By the way, can someone think a name not related to "bird", "wing", or "Flying"? i.e. The winged race are the decendant of Angel, so what is decendant in Latin/Italian/Greek/Hebrew?

Or, any term related to "Children of wind", "Children of Light", "Children of Fire", etc, or something like that?
