Ill start: Rikki Swift.
That's a great name! Have you ever seen the 1981/82 Scottish film Gregory's Girl? (It was directed by the same guy who did Local Hero and costarred Clare Grogan of Altered Images, and is worth renting for all who have not seen it.) The name "Rikki (or Ricky) Swift" is mentioned in passing at one point. I only know this because I own the dvd and before that I had the video and have seen this movie probably a hundred times in my life so far.
Actually, "Ariel Eleven" was my New Romantic name from way back when I was in three bands that never quite got out of the garage, so I thought it was worth resurrecting now.
