meganbmooreReading book 6(the last) of Jane Lindskold's Firekeeper books, I have realized that the series is not ending because the story is over, but BECAUSE SHE CAN NO LONGER NAME NEW CHARACTERS!
In one page, I have met these three:
Wantoniola (no surname)
Loris Ambler
Amelo Soapwort
Again, all introduced in one page.
(Seriously, guys, good book, but...Wantoniola??? And actually, new charcter names were starting to feel a bit random even before that.)
ETA: Am curious and exhausted trying to keep up with all the Backup and such programs posts after the Open Source Boobs Project that I don't even have time to reply to(go totelophase's LJ...the top two posts(after manga analysis) on it have links and such.) Anyway, anyone want to drop candidates for truly bizarre character names?

Honestly, who can take a monster seriously with a name like that?
