I find myself in a situation regarding character names that I’m not happy with.<\/p>\n
This is for an urban fantasy where the protagonist is named Wayne Ellsworth, for good and sufficient reasons. For equally good and sufficient reason, his girlfriend\/fiancee is named Georgia Fenton. These aren’t negotiable.<\/p>\n
However, there is a third major character — probably the title character, in fact — who I have reasons to name George, specifically that he’s named that because his original given name is completely unpronounceable, and the person re-naming him was a fan of Warner cartoons, such as the Bugs Bunny one with the Abominable Snowman who wants to make Bugs his pet bunny, “and I will hug him and squeeze him, and I will call him George,” or whatever the exact line is.<\/p>\n
I had originally thought that Elmyra Duff, from Tiny Toon Adventures, also called her pets George, but that appears to be incorrect.<\/p>\n
So. Is having major unrelated characters named George and Georgia going to be too confusing\/distracting? If so, any suggestions on what to call him instead of George? (Georgia, as I said above, isn’t negotiable.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
