So, new character, vaguely computer themed (female) speedster called Digital Zoom, needs a civvy name. I started calling her DiZ as shorthand, which (minus interCaps) turns out to be a valid Hebrew girl's name, meaning "joyful" or "bringer of joy" which fits well enough, but for surnames I'm waffling between the following:
Spitznogel - "sharp nail" - loose connection via speedster quick thinking, fun to say
Reuter - "dweller in a clearing" - obvious networking connection (ha!)
Zingel - "defensive wall" - less blatant data security connection
Any preferences or alternate suggestions? The character is something of a reverse-Kevin-Flynn security routine diverted to a comic-book-science digitizer output to get her out of the way during a cyberattack, so this would be more likely to be the name of or suggested by her meatspace contact, so the situation more likely something like "Dr. Spitznogel and his niece, Diz Reuter" or some similar combination, possibly sharing the surname.
