A Writer's Guide To White Collar Character Names

There are a lot of new writers (YEAH!) in this fandom, and one of the things I've noticed is the somewhat erratic spelling of character names.  I may be overly picky, but nothing takes me out of a fic's headspace quicker than misspelling a character's name (or nickname).  So, for your interest and edification:

Peter Burke - We don't know his middle name, and I've spent quite some time looking at closeups of his FBI id.  It looks like his middle initial is "J," but I can't confirm that. 
ETA, as queenaeron reminded me - Peter is never Pete or Petey, unless you are trying to piss Peter off in your story.

Neal Caffrey - It's Neal as in "steal" - (to borrow from a wonderful fic whose title and author I can't remember).  It's not Neil or Niel (either of which are common Celtic spellings).

Elizabeth Burke's nickname is "El" not "Elle" or "Ellie".  Leaked script pages have confirmed this multiple times.

Clinton Jones - Yeah, he has a first name and it's been used once or twice.

Diana Berrigan - Diana's character page on USA Network's website has it as Berrigan, not Barrigan.  Her girlfriend's name is Christie.  And if you're just catching up, for the original Pilot promo, it was Diana Lancing, but not anymore. 

Reese Hughes - Spelled Reese, not Reece in the leaked sides.
