Is Tyler too close to Trevor for two characters in the same book?
Trevor is a continuing secondary character, and Tyler is a new secondary character, but Tyler's getting mentioned a lot. Thoughts?

I think too close. It wouldn't work for people like me who zip names and therefore think that Noise Design and Nora Deidre are the same person.

I do, too! Which is why I asked. Thanks!

I cursed a writer not long ago who had Gwen and Gail in the same book.

Good on you, Holli!
I agree --- too alike names.

Yay, Holli!
Amy, I vote too close. That is the kind of thing that would probably have me flipping back and forth in the book trying to keep track of which character is which.

Yeah, now I just have to pick another name for Tyler. I've used so many boys' names already, though, just in passing, for kids at school.
