Name help

[Babar]

I need help obtaining a name for a character in my game. It needs to be an oriental style name that has something to do with mountains/rocks/stones or stubbornness/hardyness/dependability. Like Yasmin/Jamine means a flower-which has something to do with nature. It would be nice if it is relatively well known (like the Yasmin/Jasmine name). I know some sites where you can get names and find out their meanings, but none where you have meanings and need a name. Also, could someone please help me get think of a shape that represents a desert. Like an upside-down V can represent mountains, or a wavy line can represent water. It needs to be something plausible for a birthmark. I would be really grateful for any help

Well, for a desert, why not some hills or a line with little heat-waves coming up? It could be simplistic enough to be a passable birthmark.   If you've just got bumps to represent dunes then it might be confused with hills.  One way to pick the birthmark symbol might be to look up a chinese symbol for desert (you mentioned looking for oriental names).  

Saying "oriental" is a bit vague but maybe this dude's site can help?

[nope!]

for the shape: cactus, dunes, oasis

Thanks for the quick replies! My character now has a name- Yamaishi (stone mountain). As for the desert birthmark, the chinese symbol seems a little too complex to be a birthmark. Dunes would be a good idea, but they might be confused with the wavy line water birthmark or upside-down V mountain birthmark. Adding heat lines would again make it slightly too complex to be a plausible birthmark. I was thinking maybe a spikey circle to represent the sun...? Then again, that might be a little too obscure. A cactus would be an good idea, but I can't think of how I would draw it. Perhaps the common fork shape, with jagged edges for spikes?
