I’ve had a difficult time naming one of my characters and finally decided on [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Abe[/name_m]). It feels ‘right’ for him, but the only problem is that I already have a character named [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]. Is the [name_m]Abraham[/name_m]/[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] combo too distracting, or am I over thinking this? Any suggestions for similar names for either character?
I think [name_m]Abe[/name_m] and [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] together without mentioning the [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] thing would be weird, but what if the other characters were always joking about it? Then I think it would be interesting. If you like the names, use them!
I agree with @violet_writer!
I was going to say the same thing! I love it. Make the name association a comic relief point in your story.
