there are a few grey area ones but song lyrics as per Wayne's lightfoot.ca were used as the data source for final ruling...names/proper nouns (Capitalized in the lyrics) were accepted

some examples:

in> Boss Man, Morning Glory, Uncle Toad

out> gypsy, big blue, watchman

Edmund Fitzgerald and Marie Christine are boats rather than 'named characters' found in song lyrics, but since they are song titles I've accepted them (unless the democratic corfidian society votes to oust them)

also, Abraham was given consideration from the 'plains of Abraham' but that is better suited to Waynes already published "Lightfoot Geography" list

for consistency, I also revised some names to their full form (Sweet Guinevere, Daylight Katy, etc) but left Allison as is...all debatable

Allison
Ann
Annabel
Athabasca Lady+
Betty
Betty Mae+
Bill Skinner
Bill+
Billy+
Blackberry John
Boss Man
Cotton Jenny
Daisy Doo+
Davy Jones
Daylight Katy
Dick
Dolly+
Don Quixote
Dream Street Rose
Edmund Fitzgerald
Ernie
Flo+
God
Gretzky+
Jack+
Jane
Jenny Lind
Jesse Jo
Jesus
Jim
John
John Wayne
Joneses
Lavender
Linda
Long John Silver
Lord
Maid Marion
Marie Christine
Mary
Mary Jo
Maryann
Miguel
Miss Marianne+
Morning Glory
Mr. Barnum
Mr. Hoot and Holler
Mr. Moon
Mr. Rock of Ages
Nitro Joe+
Old Dan
Pony Man
Robin Hood
Rosanna
Rosey+
Sally
Sweet Guinevere
Tom
Uncle Toad


I also noted with a '+' sign, any of the latest additions which were, in desperation, pulled from the Unreleased and Warner Demos catalog...so we are a count of 58!

thanks for the most recent, great adds:
Ernie and Jim! (the latter, a glaring oversight)
