Help[Opinions] Names in the Show I Watched
Thought it'd be fun to share these names since it's about ghosts from various generations (as well as modern-day teens)!
Ghosts:
Charley
Dawn
Janet
Rhonda
Quinn (f)
Wally
Yuri
Modern-day teens:
Chloe
Claire
Madison "Maddie"
Nicole
Simon
Xavier (pronounced like Zavier)
Thoughts on these names? Would you like to see any of the older ghosts' names come back?

I, too, have watched every episode of School Spirits. I'm outside the demographic it's aiming for but I've actually been impressed with the show - it feels like it's aiming for something more ambitious than your standard supernatural/teen drama flair.
Anyway.
The ghosts: Charley is fine as a nickname. Janet and Rhonda feel hopelessly dated, but appropriate for their characters' eras. Dawn is fine, but I prefer it as a middle name. Wally and Yuri are fine as short forms. I like Quinn in theory.
The modern day kids: Chloe is so overdone, but appropriate. I like Claire a lot, but again, overused. Madison is going to be so reflective of a specific era and I kind of dislike it. Nicole is fine. I like Simon and Xavier.

Haha, I was wondering if someone would figure out the show from the characters’ names! I really, really liked the show, and I can’t wait for season three!!
I think we have similar taste in names!

Nicole as a name for a modern-day teen feels anachronistic! Although I suppose 15 years ago it wasn't SO uncommon.... It's just very 80s. I guess it would be the equivalent of a teenager named Lori in the 90s. The other teen names seem very appropriate.
I love Wally, it's adorable. Rhonda is fun, and Janet is growing on me. I really liked it after watching The Good Place.

Yeah, now that you say that, I’ve never met a Nicole (I’m 22). I think it’s such a lovely name, so that’s pretty disappointing! What’s even stranger is Nicole is a Hispanic character, but Nicole isn’t a Hispanic name. Race/ethnicity wasn’t a focus of the show, though.
My birth name was Nichole and I'm 22. I've never met another my age, but it was in the top 1000 at the time, so I can see why a writer might choose it for someone born around the same time as me.
