1) You've already been told (RM)
2) There are _a lot_ of Toy story names, you have a mild excuse since the
DDP CVS service is not yet back up the following comments in the same
document you cite are of use:
90 <!--
91 characters not used from Toy Story (yet):
92 - Andy (the kid)
93 - Etch (Etch-a-Sketch) (the blackboard)
94 - Snake
95 - Robot
96 - Scud (Sid's dog)
97 - Lenny the Binoculars
98 - Three Eyed Alien
99 and additional characters from Toy Story 2, also not yet used:
100 - Jessie (the Yodelling Cowgirl)
101 - Zurg (the Evil Emperor)
102 - Wheezy (the penguin)
103 - Hannah (owner of Jessie)
104 - Stinky Pete the Prospector (the old fat guy)
105 - Mrs. Davis (Andy's Mom)
106 - Barbie (the Tour Guide, probably under (c))
107 - Mrs. Potato Head
108 - Heimlich the Caterpillar

finish
111 with Toy Story characters" thread see:

That makes around 15 different names (just from Toy Story). Which means
that it covers ~15 years of Debian releases (if we keep a trend of 1 per
year which we don't at the moment). So there's no real need to have an
uber-complex system to assign/elect names really.
