If you want to do that, sure, although it might help if he has a single true form.

So, names. I was thinking of a few for my character. So far, I have "Ardashir", an old Persian name. I usually use more classical-sounding ones. I'm thinking his parents have a mansion (no, not like Iron Man's Malibu house!), and that his father is the court mage of the city's ruler. His mother would run the household most of the time, given how busy his father is. No, he isn't named "Howard" or "Stark." :D
