Dude! What is with another name change? I, personally, think you should go with Jeff next. After he runs his course, then you might consider Wilbur, followed by Charlie and then Alfred.
Ahab – for unreasoning determination to pursue the unobtainable
William – as in Williams Martin, a fictional character created by the British in 1943 to pass false intelligence to the Germans. Covered in the book and movie of the same name, The Man Who Never Was
Icarus – the young lad of Greek legend who flew with waxen wings but in a fit of false pride flew too near the sun resulting in the melting of his wings and a deadly plunge into the sea
Sisyphus – Another Greek of legend who angered the gods to the extent that he was sentenced to all eternity to push a boulder up a slope. Near the top crows would descend on him causing him to lose his grip on the boulder which would roll back over him and on to the bottom of the slope. Much in common with Ahab now that I think of it.
Alfred – an excellent choice already chosen by Angel and in honor of Alfred J Prufrock, subject of the poem, The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock, published in 1915 by T. S. Eliot which is about a man who, “laments his physical and intellectual inertia, the lost opportunities in his life and lack of spiritual progress, and he is haunted by reminders of unattained carnal love.” (source is Wikipedia, sorry for the lousy sourcing but I am pressed for time.)

LOL!!! You always amuse me and the memory you have always impresses me. Each name given has an ominous and secretive tone to it..

What does being blind have to do with the numerous name changes?
