Names of characters for books not yet written

Shady Fishbane - a hard-bitten New York detective, who is in with the criminals as well as the goodies, and has to tackle his own dodgy past to solve the crime

Parvin Zolf - a friendly, colourful, space-travelling alien for a kids book

Toon Wilderbeek - probably a cartoon cowboy, but may be I just think that because of the "toon" and "wild" bits

Halgabron - probably the oldest of these names floating around my head. Halgabron is a beefy, Barbarian-type, man of the woods. I think Halgabron is the ideal man for a choose-your-own-adventure triology. He doesn’t need a surname or a first name, he’s heroic enough already. Although perhaps in the final chapter when his true identity as a lost prince or heir to the wealthy laird comes out, his proper name can be revealed (and go on for two pages).

Or perhaps Halgabron is a place where people live, a dark hamlet. It’s a wooded place on a nastily steep slope. Everything seems normal at first…

Halgabron comes from the name of a house near my parents. But I think “Halgabron” has a life of its own and it’s a shame to leave it in metal letters painted white on the gate of a surburban house with shingle drive. Appears to be the name of somewhere in Cornwall near Tintagel, but I think its bigger than that too.
