What would you think if you encountered a woman named Elaine or a man named Edward in a fantasy novel? Would that turn you off or would you not care as long as the novel were good?
I've pondered this issue for a while now.
In the series I'm working on my characters have made up, but hopefully easy to pronounce names like Davian or Adalia, but some of my older fantasy stories still have characters with real world names, and I'm wondering if I should change them (provided that I start working on those stories again).
What do you all think?
