Thank you all for joining us on this ride! As a treat and follow-up I'll give away the name ideas/explanations we had for those curious:


 * Amy Duncan - Amy, sounded like Aoi, and Duncan from "Dunkin' Donuts". It was not a reference to the Good Luck Charlie mom. But that was funny.
 * Charlie Fuji - Charlie sounded like Chihiro, and was also gender-neutral.
 * Clara "Clare" Escargot - Clara, sounded like Celestia, and Escargot is a popular French dish (lol). Originally she was going to be "Carmella Pokerface" with French accents on every vowel but the font I was using didn't allow it.
 * Conner "Con" Mann - Literally just "Con Mann" for an obvious pun.
 * Elvis Ruth - Elvis from Elvis Presley, a famous rock and roll singer, and Ruth from Babe Ruth, a famous baseball player. This one was my favorite.
 * Harley Owens - Harley, like Harley Davidson the motorcycle brand, and Owens sounded like Owada.
 * Jessica Diva - Jessica, sounded like Junko, and Diva was a good "localization" of her talent. Mukuro's name was "Debbie Ganger", which is a pun on Doppelganger.
 * Katie O'Clues - Katie, sounded like Kyoko, and O'Clues for her talent. Jin was "Jim O'Clues".
 * Mike Naegi - Mike, sounded like Makoto, and he kept his Japanese last name since 4Kids would do that for protagonists sometimes.
 * Mono-bear - Pretty self-explanatory, the hyphen was added to make it worse.
 * Richard "Richie" Gates - Richard was just a pun for being rich, also being slang for dick. Gates was from Bill Gates.
 * Sally Ogre - Sally, sounded like Sakura, and Ogre sounded like Ogami on top of being her nickname in-game.
 * Samantha Mathews - Both just sounded like her name.
 * Tabitha Bookworm - Tabitha, started with a T and sort of sounded like Agatha, as in Agatha Christie, a writer. Bookworm is obvious. Jack was to be "Prankster Tabby".
 * Theodore "Teddy" Monitor - Theodore just sounded like a Kiyotaka name on top of Teddy being like Taka. Monitor is obvious.
 * William Eeb - Everyone seemed to get this one: Will Eeb, Weeb.
