Re: Making something new!
Tracy Wood- kind of boring and lackluster. I think if you lengthen the surname. it would sound better. Tracy Woodville, Tracy Woodward or Tracy Woodbrook.Ambrosia Prasad -With a Greek first name and Indian-Sanskrit, I'm not sure about the nationality of this character. Is she multi-cultural?Benji Tenzin - I don't like the "Ben-Ten" sound of this combo. Again, Tenzin is a Tibetan Buddhist name so where does Benji come from?Mariela Flores - I think this is the best character name. It flows well and both names are clearly Hispanic.Janelle Laurel - too many l's in the combo. Jane Laurel, Jeanette Laurel, Janet Laurel or Janice Laurel would flow better.

Thank you for the comment! I would like to answer the questions you've asked, but do note I will take your ideas into consideration.About Ambrosia and Benji, they're both trans, therefore they've chosen their first names. Neither Ambrosia or Benji are mixed, though I will consider the idea.
Benji's surname will likely be changed, I found a few other Bhutanese surnames I think suit him a bit more.
Though, for Tracy, the intention was to keep their name plain. The surname "Wood" was specifically chosen because it's apparently a common Romani surname and they're Romani, but I kept the name short because it reminds me of the protagonist from an inspiration for the project, Jonathan "Jon" Sims. Like Jon, I doubt they'll be referred to by their name often.
I'll definitely lessen the amount of L's in Janelle's name, though. I failed to consider that lol.
