Yeah the full names aren't really necessary. I think it might be one of those things I started doing because I write fanfiction and it's a quick and easy way to let the reader know what they're dealing with (especially when you have main characters who can be male or female, good or bad, etc...). Now that I realize I've been doing that, I'm trying to push myself past that and try to work towards starting out with some kind of interesting description instead, which will be a challenge, because rich descriptive narrative is not one of my strong points.
