Reading 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 to [personal profile] telophase'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?

The last one just seems amateurish as compared to the others. And Wantoniola.

(Are those from the novel I haven't read yet but shall?)

The first volume of From Eroica With Love features a trio of magical/psychic Western teenagers with the oh-so-commonplace names of Caesar Gabriel, Sugar Plum, and Leopard Solid.

(Fortunately, halfway through book one the mangaka decided to totally change direction and turn it into a shounen-ai Cold War spy-caper comedy, and the implausibly-named trio are rapidly written out of the way.)
