First of all, I made a skin with buns, and I am slightly surprised at myself. I'm not a Melanie Martinez fan (that's pretty clearly where the trend started, don't try to tell me it's not), and I thought the square design was a little funny-looking, so I gave it my own twist: here we have a skin with buns that are neither perfectly cubic nor half black and half pink.

Anyway, here's the part to which the title corresponds.
I'm writing a book. You might have known that already, since I talk about it a lot, at least on my blog (if you don't already keep tabs on it, you should check it out, it's a pretty fun place). Anyway, there's this bit of the book where I need some random names, and since I'm not great at naming minor characters, I thought, hey, this would be the perfect place for some of my PMC friends to make some cameos!
If you want your name included in a book, or else the name of a friend or OC of yours (basically any name that means something to you), tell me, and get a chance to be featured (well, really, appear briefly) in my upcoming work!
There aren't a lot of things I'm NOT looking for, so I'll go ahead and list them.

• Names of pre-existing fictional characters (copyright laws are a thing)
  
• Names that aren't a real name in any culture (e.g. Silverblade or Princess Moon)
  
• Names of celebrities
  
• Names that are clearly not anyone's name outside of PMC (e.g. xXAwesome_Dood16Xx, minecraftgurlkitty)
  

That's all I can think of for the moment. If anyone suggests anything that clearly won't work, I'll be sure and tell them why I can't use their suggestion and why.
A few specific things I AM looking for:

• Your name or the name of a friend (obviously I'm keeping them anonymous - I'm not saying in the book that the names belong to real people - but still be sure to get the permission of the person whose name you're submitting)
  
• The name of an OC (e.g. a character in a story you made that never really took off, or your persona or mascot, provided the name isn't too unrealistic)
  
• Things in other languages that mean something to you (if you have any)
  
• Names derived from other things that mean something to you (e.g. if you grew up on a street called Brighton Avenue, you might name a character Brighton)
  

I only need a few names, so there's no guarantee yours will be used, but I'll pick the ones I like the best and/or I think fit the story the best. If you don't suggest a last name to go with your first one, I'll either ask you for one or make one up myself.

As for the skin, feedback is appreciated; I'm finally delving back into the wonderful world of ombre.
