Ah! Well, again, the creativity thing is the first reason. These characters aren't connected to any fandom, so... lol... but then there's also the fact that then I'd need to have Emma Watson's character named 'Hermoine', and while I have no problem with the name, it would be a 'mouthful' to type all the time, and cause no end of mocking by the characters enemies... lol... and it would be way too weird to have a gossip columnist named 'Temperance'... lol... I'd still end up with two Rachels (Jennifer Aniston and Danneel Harris), two Gabrielles (Eva Longoria and Vanessa Hudgens), I'd have to change the Malcolm family's last name (because Nathan Fillion would be 'Malcolm'), and seriously? I can't picture a serious guy like David Boreanaz's character being named either 'Seeley' or 'Angel'... lol...
And not all these characters are lead characters lol... Some won't even appear until several eps in, and will only be in a handful of eps... Like, Alan (Jason Statham) is basically in the background most of the time... Andrea (Megan Follows) will probably at most only appear in a handful of scenes with Beth... Laura Fontaine (Catherine Bell, characters first name will change because I messed up and have 2 Lauras... lol) wouldn't show up until abour mid-season... lol...
