My Scrivener file for [community profile] queer_bigbang has now cracked the minimum word count for [community profile] queer_bigbang.

Mostly because my notes file is nine thousand words long.

So somebody on Facebook was looking for "internationally inclusive placeholder/persona names". My standard list of such begins "Alice, Bob, Cathy, Dan". Um, hi, internalized racism, guess I haven't managed to evict you yet. So I bounced around behindthename.com for a while, and here's the list I came up with of gender-neutral placeholder given names from as many cultures as I could fit into the list, one name per letter of the English alphabet. (There's some overlap in what cultures they come from, but there's hardly any names of European origin.) I am putting the list here so I do not lose it.

I don't know if there's enough creative content in the below list to qualify it for copyright protection. I don't care, either. CC0. Have fun.

* This list has been amended from its original form: the original W name was 'Wattana', which a Thai person has informed me is not a personal name and not Thai. Her suggestions were all gendered, and she says she can think of no gender-neutral Thai names.
