Question

Names are going to get slowly more difficult and I was wondering how other people dealt with this, although I’m pretty sure most people don’t have the same problem I do, having to come up with unique names for so many different collections. Part of my problem is being picky. When I name a character I put a lot of effort in to finding the right one, because otherwise nothing feels right. There are also some characters who seem to want to have the same name (or close to) as another and I don’t quite know what to do about that. I’m pretty sure it would be fine to have characters with almost identical names in different collections. My problem is the characters who want to have the same name as another character and finding names that feel right for other characters. Input would be appreciated.
