Choice of name[]

- Fairies can also be named after a person of the author's choice, as seen occasionally in the Special Thanks of that fairy's book.
- Fairies can also be based off well known people, with their name and appearance resembling the person. Eg. Jessie the Lyrics Fairy - Jessie J.
- Fairies' names can relate to the object they are protecting. Eg. Madeleine the Cookie Fairy - Madeleine is a type of biscuit, Ruby the Red Fairy - Rubies are a red colour.
