I dare you to read this.

I'm writing a fantasy story, and I'm trying to develop an aspect of my story that hasn't been developed yet. In the story, the two main characters, Avianne and Rigel, are trying to get to the Harperlurg (Port of Lurburgnarve) before Rigel's former associates catch up with them. Lord Andrew Luscious has his sister's men looking for them in Lurburgnarve, and have them chased into a dead end. They are fortunately rescued by some small boys, who let them hide under the floorboards until the Duke's men have left. They stay there for two days, being cared for by Misha Sap and her seven brothers. (The small boys are Misha's brothers.)

I'm trying to name each of Misha's brothers, and I've hit a dead end. For some reason I started naming them after literary characters who actually have names after them.

Oliver (Oliver Twist)
Nicholas (Nicholas Nickleby)
Peter (Peter Pan)
James (James and the Giant Peach)

But that's not a rule, just something I came up with because I was staring at my bookshelf.

And I just need three more names. I gave you background on my story in the hopes that you may have ideas as to what I can name the three other brothers?

Ideas?

Great story by the way ^^
Well, I don't know if the name of the two other boys have to be from a famous literary character but, well:
Harry (Harry Potter...ok, bad joke XD)
Louis (Louis Pont du Lac, from the Vampires Chronicles)
...
I'm trying to remember more names...x__x

Can I be the first to make the obvious joke and suggest Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Dopey, Sneezy, Bashful, and Doc?

You could use:

Tim (Tiny Tim)
Pip (Great Expectations)
Harry (Harry Potter)

Hmm...

Arthur (from any of the Legend of King Arthur stories) is a nice name.

I like Arthur. It fits well with the rest of the names already chosen.
