Names and What's missing...

Ok so I took a short "break" (or a block who knows...) but anyway I'm back and I've come up with a few different names for my main character:
Bryon
Colin
Kenneth
Kevin
Leon
Kyle

I'm not bothering with a last name for now because frankly i just don't think it's important yet. I'm hoping to get the beginning of the story done soon but i still have too many things to think about and organize. I've also thought that i should draw some kind of map for this town or else I'll probably get confused about where everything is...
So next up is a map!
Any suggestions on things I've missed before I start working on the beginning?
