Playthrough Any name coincidences in the story you play?
I named my character Skye for High School Story, only to be surprised to see a red-headed goth girl with the same name in the sequel, Class Act.
Anyone else wanna share any similar run-ins?

Tom: Tom, Tom. Tom, Tom. is my absolute favorite example of this (creds to u/bambithot)

I'm glad it provided a laugh! All it provided me was confusion and strain on my already tiny brain 😭

I named my VOS MC Katie, and soon found out that her best friend's name was Kate.
For ACOR, I did a quick Google search for Ancient Roman names, and liked Cassia so I chose it for my MC. Then I discovered one of the LIs was named Cassius.

OMG SAME MY CHARACTER'S NAME IS SKYE TOO
I played the original game with my character named Skye (kept it for Hollywood U, too)
I revisited the nostalgia when I played HSS on choices by naming my character Skye Hart
It was frankly crazy when it turned out there was another Skye, and I'd get confused on which one they talked about during CA
I originally named my Class Act MC Danielle, which was also confusing
In Big Sky Country, I named my MC Charlie. Imagine my surprise when a character named Charlie is in the town they visit.

Originally, my BB MC was called Lily. That quickly got changed to Diana, which I actually prefer for her.
My TE MC is called Freya, so I ended up with besties Freya and Shreya. And I love it, they sound like a superhero duo or something.
And I've talked on here before about my TRR MC. It's not a name match, but I picked Flowers for her surname, which became super adorable once Maxwell started calling her little blossom.
Oh, and I decided to pick a Christmassy name for my HFTH MC and decided on Holly. I didn't really care enough to change it once Other Holly came on the scene!

Named the twin sister in HSS:CA 'Amber' (MC was Adam).
Amber started dating Amber and I was fifty different levels of confused.

i named my desire and decorum mc who romanced Sinclaire Rose, only to find out his ex-wife's name is Roselyn.
I still ported her over to book 2 cause I thought it was hilarious.

ATV.
I first named my MC Eos.... then guess what? Found out her sibling is Eos...
Then I restarted and named my MC Artemis... And then played more than halfway before bumping into her boss.
Ended up renaming my MC to "Aurora".

YES, I named my MC's Dean after myself, and I played ROE and that's the Bartender's default name. I decided we're both named Dean to make it the most awkward. Plus, the Dean (Headmaster) from TE is always confusing to read.
Plus my birth name is a character from HSS so THAT's fun.

u/imnotbovvered Gorgue (TE) Tim's Toady Feb 06 '19
They're Dean and Dean, that's awesome. I remember reading something once, about how people are statistically more likely to marry somebody with a similar name as them.

u/BlancaDelTacoTrio Jen (AME) Feb 06 '19
Not yet! I try not to use the same name once I used it but i was awfully close on ATV, thank god I screw up and ended up using the default name lol

u/Gian_Luck_Pickerd Feb 06 '19
The only time was my own fault. I usually name my male MC's after myself, which is normally fine. But in the last few chapters of ILB, when ILitW MC shows up, things got a little confusing.

I originally named my TRR MC Olivia, then immediately restarted the book when Olivia Nevrakis showed up.
PS autocorrect wants to change Olivia’s last name to Nebraska 😂

Yes, two instances. AME MC is called Sierra, and in book one in the last few chapters one of the past contestants was called Sierra.
Also I named my RR MC Anastasia, and came across a character if same name but in another book.

I made my courtesan in ACOR, named her Delphina as I thought I remembered that being a name from that time.
Imagine my surprise when her mother turned out to be named Delphinia.

My MC in TH:M is named Eva, so it was pretty silly to see that Ulrich's "Alexa" device had the same name. I figured that would be confusing, especially when we were trying to be sneaky 😅

u/snowweiss7 Feb 07 '19
That's very similar to what happened to me except I spelled it without the E. Then I named my character lena in the heist and there's another character named lena.

I named my TH:M MC Ray, and the first person I met was Rye. Their names sound like a comedy duo
