Cole, if you go by your outlines.

My advice? Nix it. Names that bring up all sorts of associations are bad because they give away what you think about the character, and since the reader probably has those same associations, he's going to drag that bias with him the entire way; you've given away half the book with one word.

Either go for something that has personal associations that no one else would be privy to, or go for a name that isn't "strong" and filled with all sorts of meaning, but don't go with Jim John Mary either. Easiest way is to find a name from another culture most people who not be familiar with and use it because you like the sound of it. Something simple and unfamiliar but not overly exotic. Probably based upon the "culture" set of the world, if you want. There, you have a blank slate, and by your writing you make you make the dread assassin Kiki into the badass that he is.

Or go cliche and find somehing suitably nordic/slavik/german. Hrokmyr the boy whose destiny it was not to be a scribe.
