Ah, I was just wonderin... since Eros was the son of Aphrodite. He was the
god of erotic love (aww yeaahh). He was blind or often shown blindfolded
(since love is blind), and he shot magic arrows at people that caused them
to fall in love.
The Romans called him Cupid. ;^)

Maybe you should come up with some names on your own. I've always liked the
