a pause while I bask in the feeling of accomplishment
56,400 words, and aside from all the people named ? and the matter of [trade agreement], that's the first half of The Goblin Emperor completed, with Chekhov's gun collection hanging over the mantel where it belongs.
That's the good news.
The even better news is that I know what happens in the second half of the book.
The word I am looking for here is w00t!

I suppose ? is better than XXX, which is what I use when I can get away with it (that being, in prose -- verse ... not so much).

? is a perfectly fine name. The problem is when more than one character has it. Then it's like roll call in grade school, and the seventeen unfortunates all named ? have to refer to each other as ? Anderson and ? Smith.
My method is to give my ?'s the names of Russian authors. Thus, a character in my WIP named ?Chekhov. Which makes reading your post at an upper-right to lower-left diagonal amusing to me.
In closing, WOOT WOOT WOOT! and congratulations!
