Bella, though she is a distinct character, is only distinct because she falls under the characteristics of a Mary-Sue. A character who is perfect in many ways, and her flaws are too simplistic.
I believe that the main reason why her books took off the way that they did is because Stephanie...
This is a great scene to open up with, though I think that you should definitely go somewhere with it.

A good site to get names from is behindthename.com. It has a search for the meanings and has a wider selection to choose from, as well as letting you know exactly what it comes from and what it means.
If you want to change the repetition of the he and his, you can substitute the man in here and there, or maybe even give the reader his name. That also makes the third person point of view more omniscient, that the narrator would have the name when the other characters don't.
