i dont know if a language with more than 300 million speakers is obscure but one not very common hindi adjective for 'smoky' is - sadhoom.
Does the accent fall on Sa or on dhoom in that, might I ask? It has a nice sound...

Any way to know how that is pronounced, for us who are Icelandically challenged? Birrell

Ah yes, the "ey" in Reykur is pronounced like "ay" in day and the "u" like the German u with an umlaut (ü) or "eux" in the French word deux.
And I admit to shortening the name of my horse, Haukur (my nickname) to "Hauki" when I call him because it is easier to pronounce. Calling the kitten "Reyki" would be less of a tongue twister.

Definitely easier to shout: "Reyki, come down out of those curtains than to call "Reykur" _ as their name is practically the only thing cats more or less listen to. (That's why I like them)

Oh, I forgot about that! A girlfriend of mine hooked up with one of those people for a short while; he turned out to be very weird.
I was thinking along the lines of what Faldage said when I offered Furty*; I was looking for an apt name.
*I know Furty isn't pretty to look at, though the sound of it isn't so bad. Maybe Furti?
Anyway--please let us know what you decide!
