I'm pretty much near the end of my novel. Today I discovered the main character in a novel by a friend of mine, which was published in August, has the same last name as my main character.
I have no trouble changing the last name of my character, but does anyone think it's necessary, seeing that the novel is by someone I know, who might actually read my novel once it's published (which obviously won't be for at least a year, if ever).
It's one of those last names with a double meaning related to my character's character flaw. On the other hand, it's also an obvious play on words.
This either means nothing or it's a sign.
