Hi!  I need some help for some fanfics (plural- I'm working on 6 at the
moment... maybe I should start releasing them unfinished (sigh)) that I'm
working on.  If anyone has any suggestions or answers to these questions,
I'll be greatful...

1.  My girlfriend made me promise to write a fanfic staring a character she
created (this will NOT be in the continuum of 'The Journey of Soun,' which
I released, and the big 60+ page fanfic I'm working on, which I've talked
about on occasion), and she insisted I use the name she gave.  The bad news
(for me) is that it isn't really a name, its a set of initials- 'B.B.'  I
want to use her full name, if possible, and I know practically nothing
about Japanese names, so if anyone knows some common or at least non-gaijin
sounding names which could fit that set of initials (I've already planned
to use one English name, and I don't feel right using more than one) please
e-mail them to me...

2.  When I asked a while back (merely for curiousities sake) what the
drinking age was in Japan, I recieved a little bit of information which
gave me an idea for a story.  I was told that on their 20th birthday, the
day a japanese person is given the legal right to drink, they almost
traditionally get drunk.  I wasn't sure, however, by the way the person
phrased it as to whether or not this applied for both men and women. 
Anyone know?  If women don't celebrate their 20th b-day that way, then the
premise of one of my stories is shot...

3.  This is seperate from my fanfics, but I might as well ask it here
anyways (while I've got your attention).  A friend of mine at college is
interested in starting up an Anime club, and I was wondering if anyone else
has done this and what is involved in doing so.  This is more for my friend
than me, but since he doesn't have e-mail access, he can't ask it himself,
so...(sigh)

Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated...
