First, how does Nodoka refer to Soun, and vice-versa?  Are they

on a first name basis?  Or they refer to each other as Mr.Tendo and
Mrs.Saotome?

No idea, can't help you there.

       Second... I'm trying to write a piece with a bunch of Furinken
High guys around, and I'm getting tired of refering to them as 'that
guy', 'the guy', guy1, guy2, etc...
       It's just that I'm not really familiar with common japanese
names.  Can anybody give me a couple?  Girl names might come in useful as
well...

I will give first and last names.  These are of real Japanese people that I
have met.  I hope you like their names.

Miki Suganuma - girl
Shizuka Nakamura - girl
Ryuta Takeda - boy
Takuji Yamamoto - boy
Ayako Udoh - girl
Ririko Aou - girl
Eriko Inoue - girl
Yoko Shoji - girl
Nahoko Takatsuka - girl
Tohko Horie - girl
Michimasa Kobayashi - boy
Keiko Yamamoto - girl (no relation to Takuji)
Miho Saigusa - girl
Kiyoko Sakai - girl
Ayako Kamiho - girl
Masako Yamamoto - girl (no relation to Takuji or Keiko)
Nana Takada - girl
Hiromi Kaneko - girl
Miwako Otake - girl
Miki Hosoiri - girl
Megumi Kurihara - girl

        That's all of the Japanese that I personally know.  Sorry most of
them were girls, I had forgotten that there were only three boys on my
list.
