He's named after a character in the Discworld series. Carrot Ironfoundersson
Carrot (Captain Carrot of the City Watch) in the books is a dwarf...or rather an adopted dwarf, raised by the dwarf Ironfounder and his wife, after they found hiim wrapped in swaddling clothes accompanied by nothing but a crown shaped birthmark and an apparently magical sword. he is the 'rightful' heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork
Carrot considers himself a dwarf despite the fact that he is 6 ft 6 '' in his socks and built like a Greek god.
He thinks like a dwarf: in straight lines, simple but not stupid. He is honest, and loyal, and brave, and very literal minded.
So...that gave me an idea: Carrot Pilausson
Pilau's posthumously adopted son :P
