I use characters and companies from out of print books. Until they came
back into print I used characters from Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy
series, which would give the occasional BT fan in my target audience a
thrill.
These days I use twists on the names of my co-workers, who represent a
wide ethnic spectrum. I ask them for names of their relatives, and they
are usually happy to help.
