..at work I know 2 Johns, 3 Jims, a James and a Johnny.

At a house party last year in a small kitchen, there was at one point 3 Toms, a Tim and a Ben.

In real life I meet people with similar names all the time. It is if anything miraculous that so many authors give us easily recognisible and seperate names most of the time. A natural part of storytelling i guess.


...and I'll admit I work with a combination of several Lisas and Lindas, nevertheless...

Rothfuss went overboard, IMO, when he had Kvothe sing about Eloween at the Eolian (how the name sounds, if not the spelling). Why have a person and place with the same name, in the same scene? Ah well.

The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo.
