My MG short story collection is told from a twelve-year old boy's POV. He lives with an inventor who he calls Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas has a friend who MC boy calls Mr. Willis. There is also the MC's friend's dad who he calls Mr. Chad.
Would reading this get too repetitive? (There is also a Dr. Dan and a Ms. Elouise.)
I feel like the MC boy has to call them Mr. because that's how he was raised by Mr. Thomas, but I don't want to confuse my MG readers. I mean the names Thomas, Chad, and Willis don't look or sound the same, but would adding Mr. in front of those names get confusing?
Thanks in advance. (Feel free to move this thread somewhere else if it doesn't belong here. I wasn't sure if this was a Basic Writing question or a Grammar and Syntax question).
