Actually, I would go with Keven or Kewen, to match the pronunciation better=

I'm not fond of Smi ("Smee"). For the word "make", Alex's site
lists 'kau', and your site has no entry. I'm not sure where
'far' comes from, but it sounds better than kau (kaw?). Also,
I would think it would be Kawpro(?), since it is a profession.

Or the simpler 'Zander'. Or, perhaps even 'Zaner' to keep it
as a morpheme. Or Alex could be Hale. Haleksa doesn't seem
quite right.
