I was thinking Athena or Tess off the top of my head.

Tess is good. I like Grace better though.

OMG! IRL, I saved a man's life tonight. We were eating in the IndoThai-Sushi restaurant when a man at the next table started choking and within a couple of seconds was totally blocked off and falling unconscious. I knew the man was going to die if I didn't do something, so I popped out of my seat and went over and performed the Heimlich maneuver on him. After 2-3 pushes, the food popped out and he was breathing again. I didn't have time to be nervous or scared--the adrenaline rush came afterwards (and gave me a migraine). His wife and friends sincerely thanked me, but I don't know his name and he doesn't know mine; a good deed like that is its own reward. I was just a friendly stranger who knew what to do in the right place at the right time. It was the first time I'd ever done it for real. Thank goodness for all the Red Cross training and certifications!

They call them abdominal thrusts these days. You can look up how to do them on the Internet. I've been first aid trained on and off as a medical student, and it is a very useful thing to know. I never had to call on my skills in a RL situation yet though.
