  1. Police Chief: Alfons Charles Alexander

    Chief's partner: Tyler Austin

    Murder victim 1: Florian Joseph

    Victim 2: Emiko/ Akemi Chidori

    Victim 3: Adrianna Dante

    Suspect 1: George Williams

    Suspect 2:Giovanni Guerino

    Suspect 3: Frank Henry

    Hope this helps, i give full names because i wasn't sure about your naming conventions.


  2. Police Chief- Harry. It's appropriate for his age and is also German so fits in with his heritage.

    Chiefs Partner- Ethan. It means strong so suits his personality and job.

    Victim 1- Zale. It's polish, and it's a great way to remember a book when a character has a distinctive name.

    Victim 2- Laura or Emily. I think if you gave her an Asian name it would be too cliche (as ive given most of the other characters names from their origins) and Laura and Emily are both common names.

    Victim 3- Gabriella. It's nice and seems to suit your character.

    Suspect 1- Michael.

    Suspect 2- John. It's a name from the bible so since your character is from a Christian family, I think it would appropriate.

    Suspect 3- Chad or Thomas.

    These are only my suggestions but I hope they were of some use.

  3. Allan,Carlos, Frankie,Frank, Jerimiah, Nina, Jonathon, Rapheal, Blake

    hope i have given you some ideas

    why not google "names around the world" there are thousands to go through.

    i use those sort of sites for alot of things. my friends baby names, to give them ideas, even new pets. you even get a good laugh at how silly some names are
