I'm not sure if this question is legal.
I'm writing my BsC thesis on character theoretical calculations and I have already calculated a lot of character tables (a few alternating, symmetric, $operatornameSL(2,3)$, etc..), but I still have some space, so I thought I could choose a group, with not too many conjugacy classes (around $7$ still fit in nicely), that is preferably not monomial.
What do you suggest?
Thanks in advance!

Anywho, you could try something fancy like a semidirect product (other than a dihedral group) or maybe even a Wreath product. Pick your poison. There's plenty of small groups to build'm from.

I'm a big fan of the group $operatornamePSL(2,7)$, also known as $operatornameGL(3,2)$, which is finite, simple, not isomorphic to an alternating group, and has precisely $6$ conjugacy classes.
