The history I have no trouble with. They were going to make something up so whatever, but James Howlett is the worst name ever conceived, particularly after Logan.
First, the name James is too much of a play on all the people Wolverine has interacted with James MacDonald Hudson being the most obvious. Calling Wolverine Jamie, Jim, Jimbo, Jemmy or any of those diminutives just doesn't fit anything to do with his character.
Howlett is obviously a play on his animalistic side. Howl. How original.
Names have power. As a writer, there is no more difficult task than naming your characters. As a father, naming your children is an incredible undertaking.Logan had gravitas and intensity. "James Howlett" should be the secret identity of a character like Banshee or Longshot.
