Name poll

Coming up with names has always been the most difficult part of writing for me; sometimes I get so hung up on them that I leave them out altogether (a practice that annoyed my writing groups in college considerably). I'm in the middle of writing something new and I'm having a bitch of a time, so I thought I'd put it to my lovely and helpful flist. Basically I'm just trying to create a list, they don't have to be the names you'd name your children or anything, just ones that appeal to you. :)

[Poll #1442667]

Also, I'm currently obsessed with the following stanzas from Conor Oberst's "MOAB."

Some will spend their precious time
Trying to decorate their lives
Taking measurements for some new look they want
So from 1-10, 10's exactly what I am
0 being everything I'm not

Tell me what you like
Is it less than 5?
Is it less than 5?


I'll upload the song when I get home. Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to do my little poll!

My mind is so side-tracked by future pet names at the moment, all of which will be named after characters on my favorite tv shows. LAME. I used to have quite a collection of names for actual people stored up, but I currently feel ambivalent about most of them.
