For minor characters I use generic names like Mike or Tina and don't necessarily apply the first letter rule. My main characters tend to have names like: Pelya, Ebudae, Frath, Liselle, Vevin, Tathan.

I still try to avoid duplicating names in the same series, but will duplicate generic ones in different series.
