My all-time worst character name experience was finding a m/m book where the hero had the same name (first AND last) as my 80-something father. Obviously, this is hardly the author's fault - but there was no way I was reading that book! ;)

OMG that's a classic! LOL. I've had to swear I'll never use ANY of the family's names in a book, not even as a minor character :).

Maybe this is why authors make up names?! I find the "created" ones a bit odd - but at least you don't meet someone with that name every day over family breakfast.

Too priceless. Yep, that might make you think twice. :) Although, depending on your dad's sense of humor, he might have liked being imortalized as the hero.
