You and another person have been creating pages for a lot of Minions and based on what I read in the "all 899 minions" discussion, you both might be inventing the names.

In movies and TV shows, there are many background characters that are never given names because it isn't necessary to tell the story. They're in a scene just to make the room less empty. It takes about a half hour to say the names of 889 people at an average of one name every two seconds, so that's a half hour that can't be used to tell the story.

If the filmmakers didn't name each one in the movie, don't try to do their job for them. That's a kind of fan fiction where someone says, "I don't see a character's name/height/weight/age/birth date/death date/age/parents/relatives/hometown/etc., so I'll make something up and put it in."

Fan fiction is okay as long as it's clearly identified as fan fiction and kept separate from the official information. Unfortunately, a lot of times the people who are adding fan fiction keep trying to put it in with the official information, and when they do after being told not to, it turns into false information. The longer it goes on, the faster it then becomes vandalism.

If you want to keep going with inventing names for all of Minions, you should do it in a blog. Or you could create a page called "List of fanon Minion names" and put at the top of the page, "There are 889 Minions. Since not all of them have been given names, these are the ones we've come up with."
