I just discovered a [really, really terrible] story I wrote when I was about 11 or 12.  Some of the characters names:

Tia Bonita - and I quote: "A ravishingly beautiful gypsy princess" (*gag*)

Captain Terrence Phillip McAlastair - the brave, dashing sea captain-love interest who drowns himself in despair after Tia Bonita marries a stockbroker (no kidding).

Huberto Rance - the stockbroker. Dies of blood poisoning, poor fellow.

Tilly, Maggie, Pete, Anthea and Quentin - bunch of kids who live on a ship previously owned and now haunted by the unhappy ghost of Captain McAlistair. Why are five kids drifting around on a ship with no adult supervision? Just cause. Ship, incidentally, is called Tia Bonita.

Esmerelda, Georgio, Jules, Anita, Candal (wtf?)  - gypsy extras.

Cork, Pip, Bole, Jim, Frankie - seafaring extras.

Gallivant - obligatory dog. (Because if Enid Blyton taught us anything, it's that every gang of children roaming around doing whatever the hell they want has to have an extraordinarily well-trained dog to fetch prison keys, carry messages, find water, etc.)

Mrs. Watersham - helpful barmaid.

.
So what do you think? Going to use any of my names for your future children? :p

Personally, I still rather like Maggie, Anthea and Anita. Oh, and I'm definitely naming my future son Cork.

I really like how Tia marries a stockbroker, that's very good.

As for the names, they're pretty interesting for an eleven/twelve-year-old. When I wrote stories then, my names were basically Hannah, Gillian, Sam, nothing really creative.

I think Cork is kind of cute and Maggie's just adorable.

Thanks! I've always liked giving weird names to made-up people, because I'd never be able to do it to a real person. :p
