One of my favorite characters is named Ayame -- she’s of Japanese descent, obviously, and the name means “iris” in its native tongue. The name is pronounced a-yah-may. Problem is that I just created another character named May, and the similarities between them didn’t click until I had May completely planned out.
They’d be around the same age and would pretty much be living in the same place, too. Do you guys think that their names are too similar? Ayame’s name is staying no matter what, but it wouldn’t kill me to go back and change May. I also have a character named Esme, so I might just be having an overload of the “ay” sound..
