Names, Pt 3

Lackey is, like Flunky shear laziness. Fortunately Carol Anne is doing a wonderful job of breathing life into the character.
Lil was honestly named after the character in Rugrats. I was going for a similar personality.
Lou just sounds like a veteran at whatever job you give him. Lou is in fact a girl ala Cindy Lou Who but it still sounds vetereny. She's the head of the running crew and I needed to have an experienced name.
Louis has no relation to Lou. Once again, it just sounded coppy.
Nicholas needed to sound coppy but it also had to sound young, like the rookie. I went with a name that most would probably not say the full thing and instead go with a nickname until he earns it. Nicholas is a lot of syllables.
O'Leary. C'mon. It's a rule. One cop has to be Irish.
Parker is one of those names that was around since the one act so it had to be gender neutral. It could also be either a last name or a first name, I won't tell you which, and it sounds professional but in a kind of slacker way. Like someone who could run a multi-million dollar company but does so in blue jeans and a hoodie.
