Pretty obscure where I live but I have seen such names in the US before so I would't say they were made up.

Oh and the name Hermes, which I find obscure, was named after Matt Groening's Hermes typewriter, as mentioned in the commentary for (I think) The Series has Landed. Names are just derived from all sorts of places, and yet they still fit the characters.

And for some reason the only character I remember is Daisy Duke. So - there was this brunette with fine legs and, oh, something about a car?

David's game was named "Zoid", but when he described it the game sounded suspiciously similar to "Qix".

I looked up the meaning of Yancy somewhere and it meant "Englishman", which I kinda thought was a little ironic, Minuteman Yancy.
