Does anyone else make inadvertent patterns in their character names? I'm just going through and changing names in a WIP because I have:
Character names beginning with 'A':
-2 out of 3 POV characters
-the antagonist
-a best friend
-a boyfriend
Character names beginning with 'R':
-the other POV character
-a brother
-a friend/love interest
Even I began to mix up the names... I didn't even realise I was doing it until I'd finished the first draft. Now I've got to decide who gets to keep their name and who doesn't. I love find-and-replace
What patterns do you find yourself slipping into?
