Actually it didn't get 'taken' necessarily...but it still could cause some problems.
in the book I was reading the other day, I was horrified to discover that the villain's name is the EXACT SAME THING as MY villain's name. Pure coincidence. It's a made-up name I came up with a couple years ago, but apparently was also seperately invented by someone else.
What's worse, said book is the same genre (fantasy) and also has some other coincidental similarities that might lead people to think I copied the name. The book is fairly popular too. Not likely to fall into obscurity anytime soon.
Can I still use it? I don't know, so I wanted to get y'all's opinion.
