The Intense Notary is in the business of recording names. Her colossal, ink-stained ledgers bear the names of carriages, of clocks, of causeways, of centenarians and of civets. It is whispered that certain locked volumes include the name of every street last in the Fall, of every soul in the Brass Embassy, and of the bearers of every drop of blood spilled in the Prickfinger Wastes. Some brave or boastful souls claim to have glimpsed a slim, black-bound journal, kept by her side at all times, which contains the past names of the Masters. The Notary can be employed to record publicly the names of one's companions, one's pets, and even one's zee-vessels, if one thinks such things of importance.

I like "Nyah!" for the Taciturn Mynah. And is Frederick's Fergus a reference to Cuchulainn myth?
(Most of mine are quotations or puns. I'm personally fond of the Obdurate Stallion Balthazar... That's because, according to some traditions, Balthazar was one of the Three Kings, and had dark skin. So literally he was a "black king". D'you know how "black king" is said in Japanese? Kokuoh XD)

Edit: Here's the complete list all of all my associated creatures, with flavor commentary! Note: I'm not done crafting the Ravens, obviously, but I have all the rest of the Neathymon, I believe, except for a Plated Seal (which I will aquire on my way back from my trip to Mutton Island), and that monstrosity Mr. Stones had on offer (No thanks).
Constant Companion:
Helena, also known as the Devout Intriguer. Works for the Teeth when not accompanying Moriarty at sea. It's a complicated relationship.
Newspaper: The London Herald. "Read by All of Good Character! Untouched by censors or the powers that be! Dedicated to bringing you the truth, and heralding a new age!"
Ship:
The Aphrodite (Majestic Pleasure Yacht)
Gang of Hoodlums:
The Rooks. A queer sort of gang. Known to the police, yet unmolested. They never seem to be caught doing any thing, and only ever appear two at a time. They carry the mark of the Rook, and never speak of their benefactor. Few know their numbers. Fewer cross them.
Associates:
Lana (Alluring Accomplice)
Cesare (Ruthless Henchman)
Louis (Devious Henchman)
Feckless Supporters (The Bishops)
Davie (Winsome Dispossessed Orphan)
Hareton (Grubby Urchin)
Lucille (A Daughter in the Shadows)
Pets and Creations
Niccolo (Devious Raven Advisor)
Sophie (Albino Rat)
Bubbles (Rubbery Hound)
Dotty (Ocular Toadbeast)
Aslane (Tomb-Lion)
Obdurate Stallion (Sally)
Thoroughly-Cowed Pony (A battered tag, the same sooty color as it's skin, reads "Pinkie")
Giggles (Somnolent Hynena)
Jeeves (Corresponding Ocelot)
Parabolus (Bifurcated Owl)
Maharani (Bengal Tigress)
Severus (Hound of Heaven)
Rumblefish (Araby Fighting Weasel)
Chance (Lucky Weasel)
Barnaby (Partisan Messenger Tortoise)
Matty (Talkative Rattus-Faber)
Jiggy (Deshrieked Mandrake)
Cuddles (Fairly-Tame Sorrow Spider)
Remy (Working Rat)
Salazar (Reprehensible Lizard)
Eeyore (Sulky Bat)
Sunny (Cheerful Goldfish)
Algernon (Disgraced Rattus-Faber Bandit-Chief)
Hannibal (Rattus Faber Bandit Chief)
Bert (Malevolent Monkey)
Marv (Cardsharp Monkey)
Audrey (Singular Plant)
The pets have mostly the run of the Estate, much to the servant's dismay. While most animals in the Neath enjoy a degree of sentience, Maharani, Jeeves, Algernon, Hanibal, Dotty, and Niccolo are the most intelligent of them. Given Tigers are nigh human in intellect, Maharani practically runs the household in Moriarty's absence, given Helena is a Lady of industry. The L.B.'s keep to themselves, mostly. Though Moriarty is quite sympathetic to ratly concerns. Most of the pets are wise enough to avoid predation outside of feeding time. Only the monkeys would risk it, and Maharani would devour them whole if she found out.

This reminds me that I haven't chosen a name for the Gang of Hoodlums. Though I'd honestly think they'd be better off without one, considering that officially they don't even exist

I don't know about a name, but my gang of hoodlums is made up of former meteorologists and astrologers who found themselves unemployable in the Neath.

I laughed out loud at this. Something about a mental image of a man threatening somebody with a bag of birthstones.

Although, I have toyed with the idea that the Bazaar is something akin to a giant interdimensional repository of stories, and it simply focuses on love stories because they transcend cultural context. Then it would make sense for characters from other stories to spontaneously arrive. And how genre-saavy the Masters seem to be....Of course, that means the Masters are currently watching us play Doghunt...
Well, this is StoryNexus after all!

Update: I finally fininshed the alphabet!
Waseem - Presbyterate Diplomat (Yeah, I had already a W. But not knowing exactly the Presbyterate's culture, I gave him an Indian name that could also sound somewhat African of Native American, jsut to be sure).
Madame X - Affable Spy
Yvonne - Canny Costermonger
Zed Macahan - Neurastenic Assassin (Yeah, it was Zeb in the TV series. But in this case the name came before the surname to my mind XD)

I have always loved this thread and meant to name all my name-able items at some point. It's finally done, outside of items that require Fate for naming.

Vinvunius (Lucky Weasel)
Gaffney (Reprehensible Lizard)
Jen Pringle (Sulky Bat)
Mr Halberstam (Cardsharp Monkey)
Bibi (Cheerful Goldfish)
Josie Pye (Bat with Attitude)
Charles (Araby Fighting-Weasel)
Sara (Talkative Rattus Faber)
Festus (Albino Rat)
Cordelia (Salt Weasel)
naaninuu (Somnolent Hyaena)

Montreux (Tomb Lion)
Mr Squigglesworth (Hound of Heaven)
Sonia (Ocular Toadbeast)
Haverford (Corresponding Ocelot)

Capo (Unfinished Hat)
Sherlock (Dark-Carapaced Crustacean)
Sophronia (Dreamy Raven Advisor)
Sabine (Philosophical Raven Advisor)
Simona (Mystic Raven Advisor)
Choale (Wary Raven Advisor)
Temoin (Unscrupulous Raven Advisor)
Iago (Devious Raven Advisor)
Elle S`Appelle (Pink-Painted Cat)
Clothilde (Quiet Deviless)
Phaedra and Alais (Affable Spies)
Lettice, the Mercy (who would dare put another name atop her given one?)
Von Destry (Presbyterate Diplomat)
Paulus and Matthieu (Neurasthenic Assassins)
Jocasta (Canny Costermonger)
Crawford (Gilded Crustacean)
Pella (Complaisant Frost-Moth)
John Willis and The Turk (Ravenous Henchmen)

Adlai (Pentecost Ape)
Miss Isadora Payne-Purchase (A Ghostly Presence)
Chime (The Pirate Poet)
Amara (Parabolan Kitten)
Kǔ (Bitter Saker Falcon)
The Muculent Standard-Gazette (Newspaper)
Apostrophes aren't accepted in the interface so Venable`s View and Elle S`Appelle use the left-slanted single quote. (ETA that the kerning on that left-slanted quote is not nearly so bad outside of the forum software.) I had plans for more Affable Spy Girls but this year we weren't able to get additional ones; more's the pity.
edited to add Parabolan Kitten, Somnolent Hyaena, Bitter Saker Falcon.
