Are there more than two names used in general Esperanto Duolingo lessons?

In Duolingo's Esperanto course, nearly all of the example sentences I've encountered use exactly two names when names are called for, even quite a ways into the course: Adamo and Sofia. In one of my recent lessons, a third was used: Aŭtuno (Autumn). However, that unit was about time, months, days of the week, seasons etc. Has the canon expanded, possibly with the new path update? Or was this specific to what was covered in the lesson?

This market resolves YES if I personally see names other than Adamo and Sofia being consistently used in the course. The market resolves NO if I finish the course or arrive at the last day of 2023 without having seen other names as an appreciable presence.

If the names are plausibly specific to the lesson, such as the above example or in the case of a lesson covering how to say Sinjoro and Sinjorino, that doesn't count. If I get near the end of the course and additional names start appearing there but not in earlier lessons, that doesn't count.

If there are a wide variety of names that only appear once, but Adamo and Sofia are used notably less such that they don't (hyperbolically) feel like the only two names in the world, that does count. The spirit of this question is about the experience of the course as a whole, not nitpicking exceptions.

Jes, Adamo kaj Sofia... Multan tempon mi pasigis kun ili.

I am being optimistic!
