Cool!
OK, recently I realized that if I take the first and middle name of my 3rd daughter, you could interpret it that she is named after 3 female Legion-related characters - without changing the order of the letters at all, and only just adjusting the starting points for her two names to make it three. Weird, huh? And completely unintentional.
But the question is, who are the three characters?
a. Saturn Girl b. Phantom Girl c. Supergirl d. Shrinking Violet e. Dream Girl f. Shadow Lass g. White Witch h. Kono i. Andromeda j. Emerald Empress (original) k. Janice Warren (Chameleon Boy's potential girlfriend) l. Leta Lal (mermaid from ancient Atlantis) m. Lori Morning n. Myla (Invisible Kid's ghostly girlfriend) o. Gas Girl

Please tell me you didn't name your daughter Nallal Tal!
In any case, I'll guess
e. Dream Girl l. Leta Lal o. Gas Girl

Nobody has it all right yet. Two of you have one each (different ones). Nobody has guessed the third.

Ooh...this is shaping up to be a cool logic puzzle! If two unique correct answers have been given, that would eliminate Dream Girl as a possible combining factor, leaving two correct names from the pools of (Leta Lal or Gas Girl) (Supergirl or Shrinking Violet) (Myla or Emerald Empress or Kono) and one from the pool of (Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, Shadow Lass, White Witch - though not her last name, Andromeda, Janice Warren, or Lori Morning). Hmmm... I'm off to mull.

OK, let's try:
- Lori Morning - Kono - Supergirl
(I'm thinking maybe Loriann Ankara? Relatives from Turkey, maybe?)

Not correct.
I will say at this point that all three names are character's first names.

I was hoping for more guesses before giving more hints, but oh well.
Exnihil - one of your choices is correct, and is in fact in the right order (although that wasn't part of the question). No Turkish relatives, but Japanese ones instead, if that's any help.

Let's see...
Emerald Empress Shadow Lass Supergirl
And that should establish whether Supergirl or Kono is correct.
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

OK, well, I know Kono is definitely out because you said my last guess had one correct with correct placement - but none were last names, so the middle part of my answer is eliminated.
Given that at least one name is Japanese, the "Kara" ending seems likely, further given credence by Novelty's one correct response.
If that assumption is true then, given the earlier groupings, Shrinking Violet, Shadow Lass, Emerald Empress and Lori Morning can all be eliminated.
I would think that the preceding name would have to end in a vowel (but probably not an "L" followed by a vowel - being Japanese).
If Kara is indeed correct, I think the last name is either "Akara" or "Takara," the latter of which I actually think I've heard before. So if I use "Leta" for the middle part, and everything else I said is correct, I have a choice of Imra, Tinya, Mysa, Laurel, or Janice to be the first name ending in "le".
I'm going with Andromeda, Leta Lal, Supergirl for: Laurelle Takara

Assuming Supergirl is correct
Myla, Phantom Girl, Supergirl?

You know, until I actually did this question, I didn't even realize that Kono had a real name.
Exnihil, you are completely correct, with not only the right names but the right order and breakdown. To boast of my daughter, the first name implies "Victory", as in a "laurel leaves" or "a crown of laurels" where the middle name is Japanese for "treasure".
I remember realizing that the names for both Supergirl and her reboot counterpart, Andromeda, were in there, and was hoping that the rest of the letters would make the name of some other Supergirl counterpart from the history of DC Comics. Close, but still noteworthy!
You're up.

Wow! I'm impressed with both you and Ex for creating and solving such an intricate puzzle.

I think that was Leeta-87 who fell foul of the Banyo peel. But thanks.

Oops! Well, then, don't be surprised if Laurelle takes an unusual liking to The Little Mermaid.

Very cool. I think that might have been my favorite question ever in this game. I really enjoyed the logical process necessary to solve it.
OK... I really enjoy the town I live in. There is always so much activity; some festival or another going on during the weekends. It recently occured to me that my two favorite local festivals have as their focus something sharing a name with a character from the X-Men mythos.
The first I'll give you: Phoenix. Every year they build a giant wooden phoenix in the center of town and, on the equinox, burn it.
What is the theme of my second favorite local fest:
a. Angel b. Aurora c. Banshee d. Blob e. Cannonball f. Destiny g. Forge h. Iceman i. Jubilee j. Karma k. Nightcrawler l. Nocturne m. Northstar n. Polaris o. Quicksilver p. Sabre q. Sage r. Storm s. Thunderbird t. Toad

i. Jubilee
This seems so obvious that it probably is wrong. But I'll guess it anyway.

An Irish-themed festival sounds promising.

Not Jubilee; as Quis surmised, I put that in specifically because of the obvious sounding name.
Although we do have a Celtic-fest, there are no Banshees to be seen (unless you count the local children).
Although I have a clear view of Polaris from my backyard, there is no local festival in its honor.
So again, the set up was:
I really enjoy the town I live in. There is always so much activity; some festival or another going on during the weekends. It recently occured to me that my two favorite local festivals have as their focus something sharing a name with a character from the X-Men mythos.
