Firstly, it depends where you're aiming at - young teenagers, or the 16+ grouping. If it's the latter, I'd just write as it comes and make sure you rate accordingly. ...

I agree with the others who have mentioned the names; I find it very difficult to take "bender" and "hippie" seriously. I've also used the Fantasy Name Generator and think ...

I might have mine saved somewhere, but I only remember it going on the wall in the classroom when I was about five. I was so proud. It was about ...
