OooH! And names of fictional characters are no less proper nouns! Why, the science fiction and fantasy genres alone would give you the ammunition to unload any ol' alphabet soup you happen to get stuck with; and if you can't document it, you can fake it. Prove that Xpochtikl isn't the name of the intelligent repitile protagonist of "A Thumb on the Scales", a little-known novel translated from Romanian 35 years ago, total print run of 1500 copies.
