There are quite a few characters in the books that are not named. Though it shouldn't surprise us that a movie or series adaptation would want to give some of these unnamed characters. Here's some that I could think of from each book-
MN- Possibly Mavis for Jadis's sister and Albert or Paul for Digory's father. Even if Jadis's sister doesn't make an appearance, Jadis could still refer to her by name.
LWW- The Walden named the Pevensie's mother Helen, so I don't think a new adaption will use it again. A couple of I could think of is Violet or Mary. For the Pevensies father, Professor Kenneth Pevensie.
HHB- Perhaps Lilia for King Lune's wife and Cor and Corin's mother. She would probably have a very brief role, possibly seeing her reaction when baby Cor gets stolen. Maybe even for the Tisroc, Eliam. Possibly Asyna for Aravi's stepmother. Also, Apollo for Hwin's husband and Scarlet for Bree's wife, given that Bree and Hwin don't marry each other.
PC- Possibly a name for Caspian's nurse. One I could think of is Mildred.
VDT- Walden named Ramandu's daughter Liliandil. It's not likely a new adaptation will use that again. One I could possibly think of is Seren (it's Welsh for "star").
SC- I have a feeling they'll want to give the Green Lady of name. Possibly Esmeraldine, which is the meaning of "emerald" given that she wears green.
LB- This is a tough one. I could think of names for Emeth's six brothers: Belshazzar, Amir, Kian, Omer, Sardar, and and Rahman.
Do you think unnamed characters should be give a name in film or series? If so, what names would you suggest?
