"American Idol" fans -- gimme some names

[twickster]

I'm editing a logic problem where the story is about six people competing in an American Idol-type show, with two judges, a nice female judge (who I'm going to call "Simone") and a nasty male judge (who I'm going to call "Paul").

I need three male first names and three female first names. Should I just do Clay, Bo, Justin for the males? If so, what would be the three female names? Or is there some kind of inside joke I can make here?

TIA.

for the girls
Kelly
Paris
Shaniqua

Don't forget Ruben! I'd probably do Clay, Ruben, and Bo for the guys. Girls ... let's see ... I'm guessing you're looking for recognizable names here. Fantasia would be good, as would Kelly. Other girls who have been on the show: Diana, Jasmine, Nikki, Kimberley, Carrie, Trenyce, LaToya. Hmmm, I seem to have run out. I'll come back if I think of more.

oo! oo! oo! - Use William Hung!

One of the things the solver will have to do is match first and last names -- so I can't use any real first-name-last-name combo.

Are there some good last names I should use? These may or may not match the first names I use.

I would make up some names - Make them sound like the kids made up their names so as to sound cool. Besides, don't a lot of Idol contestants go by only one name? Grab 6 Hollywood celebrity names at random, and mix and match the last names - modify the first names to swap gender
