CONGIRLS:
Beth Gossamer (nee Gillian, aka Gossy, Gilly, Gigi) Liz Winner Blanche Chelsea Boom (nee Charles) (Re)Gina Bruce Corrine Kasha Grace Laurel Paige Mallory Janine (Ase)Nath Cath(erine) Chad Irma Ivan Jon Mikey (Michael) Gabe (Gabriel) Hey Gorgeous (Jorge Gorgez) Marcus (Mar)Jorie Jean-Pierre Mars (Marielle) Ethan Olly Kiki Cadie Steve-it Josh Lissa Becky Phebe Seth Jody Mel(bourne) Dani(ella) Carol Sarah Jason Onyx Ava Sharlene Juani Harley Abigail Pippa A lot of those are far-distant background characters, and the last one is a dog. Also, for whatever reason, Beth's parents never got named on paper, even though tons of other peoples' did. In my head they're John and Eileen. THE LAWS OF MAKE BELIEVE: Robber (Roberta) YP (Yael Ping) Bean (Robert) Jesse Sooz (Susan) Liis (Lisa) Sky(lin) Mag(daly) Coop Melanie Polina Far(asha) Leila Alston Tim(othy)/occasionally Moth Tom Mick (Michelle) Abe (Abraham) Ella Kenzie Miracle Kit Cat Brian Boy Sam Girl Sam Corrina Pete(r) Amber David I still haven't named (or introduced) a bunch of people in this one. And yes, I realise that Miracle is the worst ever. But she was named after a horse and she's proud of that. WE ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE (AND THESE ARE THE THINGS WE DO): Viveca Adrienne Lance Peggy (Ana)Stasia Sal Uly(sses) Mamie (Agnes Mae) Missy (Melissa Ruth) Meeny (Morris Jr.) Moss (Morris Sr.) Dinah Granny Annie Thompson Mole (proper name unknown/undecided) Garrison Pink (Casey) Heather Marissa Kelly Tanner Jessamyn Oliver This one's in the zygote stages (going to bash through 5 10K stories with these characters for NaNo). And it's a middle grade, so I let there be even more silly name jokes than I usually let myself get away with. Also, at least two of the above persons are imaginary and/or undead. In general, yeah, I guess I'm a bit of a sucker for snowflake names. I try to hit the reasonable-but-memorable sweet spot (unless there's some specific reason to veer from either of those targets). I'm definitely a sucker for nicknames. I think because they often work as a springboard into the character's backstory. When you give them a nickname, you have to figure out who calls them that, why, since when, et cetera. Most of that doesn't reach the page in any direct sense, but it helps lay the foundation. Also, I grew up around kids named Cedar and Yukon, so what do you expect?

I have just a couple names for my NaNo book locked down. It's weird, this is the first serious fantasy novel I've written, so it's so strange to me to have weird fantasy-ish names.
MC: Odette Horrok LI: Nel Fortuyn MC's mom: Commodore Savanne Horrok MC's father: Alonzo Deezil And that's it so far.

I have a lot characters in my wip...and I didn't really realize it until I just listed them all. Most of them are side characters that aren't seen often.
Fally Garrett Oliver Ivor Rod Phi Erik Jo Frunkle Lenny Opal Jade Kim Dylan Trent Skye Simon Sean Jori Patricia Vickers Rebecca Vince ...I think that is all of them...so far.
