Why or why oh why, when I'm writing little original pieces with characters I am trying to make ordinary people, do I spend nearly as long dithering over names, changing names, deciding the names are too weird, deciding the names are too dull, remembering that I've used that name in theree other ficlets, fixing on names, then remembering you still see the ex-workmates with those name sometimes and won't feel write using them, and changing them again... back to the first one?

For a 600 word exercise with two characters?

{sigh}

One definite good thing about fanfic, the main characters all come pre-named...
