Are you asking for character names for the superheroes (LaffyTaffy Lad, Mister Butterfingers) or the kids (Bob, Aki, Gaetano)? – Lauren-Clear-Monica-Ipsum Feb 19 '16 at 22:34

@Lauren Ipsum I am looking for both. – WritingNerd Feb 19 '16 at 22:36

Closing; this isn't a question that's answerable in any way but a list of opinions. I'm glad you got some helpful suggestions, but our site [tour] may help clarify how Q&A sites differ from discussion forums. – Goodbye Stack Exchange Feb 22 '16 at 02:47

The answer really depends on the type of names you're looking for. You could you a tool like http://thenamestork.com to set a general name 'feeling' and get matching recommendations. – Roy Jul 09 '16 at 10:33

Or if you know the feeling you want, fantasynamegenerators.com is always a useful tool. – ArtickokeAndAnchovyPizzaMonica Jun 14 '20 at 18:05

I like the idea of 3 rhymed names and a discordant one. A retro example would be
Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde (Pac-Man)
And a modern example (from Nickelodeon):
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn
These sorts of things flow well with children's characters.

What type of candy is it? Are there different flavors? Were the candies the same that all four kids ate?
You could do different colors/flavors perhaps. And the different flavors make for different superpowers.
Here are some ideas:
- Red Juiceberry
- Turquoise Taffy
- Green Slimesuck
- Crack Caramel
- Red Poprock
- Roasted Poprock
- Salted Chew
- Sweet Purpleblast
- Flavorblast
Are these what you're looking for? The candies could also bring out the kids' natural personalities. For example, if one of the kids had a bad temper, it could enhance that trait and make him extremely fiery (lots of attitude, anger issues, etc.).
