I usually don't bother with last names.

Here is an Evil Demon Name' to me. I pretty much do the same method you do for names, though it gets me into trouble with last names.<br /><br />I once named an MC for a project Kate and then her last name as Holmes.

What does she/he get out of the deal. Can’t call it a relationship. Jackson, we know is dead.
