A few years back I sent Brooke an email asking why he had so few middle names for his characters. His answer was that he only used them if he felt they were necessary to the flow of a particular strip or arc. So, with his indirect blessing I decided to give all the characters full names. The list was well received on the sorely missed Comfy Couch O' Confusion.
Jan. 2022. I have updated the list with all the new characters that have appeared in the strip the last six years. None of these names are the least bit necessary. They are strictly a mental exercise for me. A few of the characters have middle names in the strip, but most do not. Make of this what you will.
