I just finished filling all the cells for people in my 1, 2, and 3-digit Major System and decided to share it here.

I used only fictional characters because they are more memorable and distinguishable than real people and because I wanted a family friendly list. I took them from movies, games, cartoons, animes, mangas, comics, dolls, and (extremely rarely) indie art.

Most cells have multiple names, which are separated by commas. Right to the names, there are parentheses containing the sources of the respective characters. I hope you guys find the abundance of options helpful 😊

This is a multilingual Major System: there are English, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, and French names. Since most of them are in English, I believe posting it on the English forum is ok. However, you don’t need to know all these languages (I don’t), I’m just pointing it out because some of the names are Portuguese translations of English names.

The Major System is almost standard. The only main difference is that I use the /h/ sound with the /r/ sound to encode the digit 4, so “hulk” represents 457, not 57. The precise relationship between digits and phonemes is given right to the lists in the spreadsheet.

Moreover, there are no exceptions! If you see that a name doesn’t correspond to the cell it was assigned to, please let me know. Also, the lists are supposed to be mostly family-friendly, but I’m familiar to not even a tenth of the sources I took those characters from, so if you notice that some of them are adult, please let me know.

I would straight up steal this list if I wasn’t so deep into my own creation (modified bens system). I also end up using lots of cartoons.

Good luck! I hope my list can help you with the searching at least.

If you feel like sharing it, I’d love to give it a look. I’m still interested in adding more options to some cells.

Sorry! I make my systems in Anki and won’t share my decks because there might be some personal content in there.

Ok, sure! Totally understandable.

Thanks for sharing, I don’t know most of them, but it still gave me some ideas for a few numbers…

I don’t know most of them either lol. I chose them mostly because they were memorable and fit the rules. Of course, learning a new character to use in one’s major system list will take longer, but I believe this will help in the long-term since it will avoid misattributions.

Btw, the most famous characters are probably going to be in Portuguese (like “homem de ferro” instead of iron-man)

Wow, very impressive compilation, even, no ESPECIALLY, since you aren’t familiar with all of them!

Double thank you because I’ve been unhappy with my #38 Persona “Mafia” (too similar to my #80 “Fisk”) for a while and Nintendo/Zelda’s Princess Mipha works PERFECTLY for that slot.

I just finished my 1 and 2-digit Anki flashcards. I needed to evaluate all the characters for each cell and choose the best, which took some time, so If you just want to copy my list without spending much time, here are the decks (images of the characters included):

I’m going to post the flashcards for the 3-digit lists as well when I finish them.

I hadn’t filled my list of objects, though, so today I want to share my full Major System containing both people and objects. Some important observations: The phoneme /h/ encodes the digit 4 together with the sound of the letter “R”. People’s honorifics are ignored and don’t encode digits (Mr., Mrs., etc.) For objects, prepositions don’t encode digits (of, in, etc.) The parentheses in front of the peo…

Nesse caso é só bater cabeça mesmo. Demora um pouco pra achar exemplos de todas.

Voltei. Eu atualizei minha planilha para adicionar ações. Elas estão todas em português e contêm 1 ou 2 dígitos:
