The NATO phonetics are so tired and old. This one uses popular fictional characters instead:

Aladdin Buffy Cruella Dorothy Edward Fiona Gandalf Hulk Igor Joker Kermit Lilo Mufasa Naruto Olaf Pikachu Quark Rapunzel Scoobie Tigger Ursula Vegeta Wolverine Xena Yoda Zorro

    You used Quark, and not Quasimodo?

    I’ll hunch your back and make you Notre Dame all over the fifteenth century.

      I wanted them to all be under four syllables. I also tried to maximize variety for ending sounds, and there’s a lot of them that end in ‘o’ sounds already. Additionally I tried to pick names that could refer to multiple characters, e.g. Edward could refer to FMA, but it could also refer to Twilight; the name Quark shows up a lot. Also I didn’t want the list to feel too Disney heavy.
