The fact that five out of the six main characters don't have names is actually part of the story, so I suppose the 'named' criteria doesn't really apply here.

Agreed. FWIW, the only named character is female, and four of the six most important characters are female. (There are two other men in bit parts, both of them unnamed, I believe.)

Yes. and the women talk about various objects and activities. Also, the elder daughter names herself "Bruce" towards the end. So can we consider her named?
