Harry/Draco Writing Support

J.K. Rowling originally planned to name Draco Malfoy either "Draco Spinks" or "Draco Spungen" before settling on Malfoy as Draco's surname. Now Draco is absolutely one of my most treasured and favorite characters in the Harry Potter series, and I love nothing more than to write fan fic from Draco's point-of-view. Those of us who love Draco tend to find him at least a little deeper than canon portrays him, sometimes redeemable, sometimes sympathetic, and almost all the time sexy and smokin' hot.

Would the same hold true if Draco were Draco Spinks or Draco Spungen? Personally -- and man I hate to admit this -- I'm not so sure I would hold the same ferocious love for Draco if he had a really dorky name as I do when I think of Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy is such a cool name and I think it helps to color my view of him and to open the possibility of his redemption (or not, depending on the story) -- Draco Malfoy is the bad boy we all desperately want to see change.

What do you think?

Would Draco Spinks or Draco Spungen be hot enough for our Harry? Or would he be another stereotypical Slytherin, with a funny name, a bad countenance, and a cruel streak that would be more difficult to overlook than if he were a Malfoy?

Please discuss! Or just share your opinion.

Who wins? Malfoy or Spinks/Spungen?

Would he be hot or not?
