Reused names:
We've got
Cassie/Cas(tiel)
Victor/Victor
Ben/Bennie
Sam/Samuel
Dean/Deanna
Sam/Samandriel (this one bugs because of AU fic reasons)
Amelia (Ames)/Amelia (Bitca)
Chuck/Charlie (at least the nickname separates them!)
Any others? (although that's quite enough, for me).
There is a dearth of Williams. Quick, someone call Joss.
I don't think that Dean and Sam count in the same way as unrelated Victors, for instance, since they're deliberate by the text. Amy is the one that drives me batshit--Novak, Pond, Sam's picnic lady? Really? You needed back to that well?
Amy is the one that drives me batshit
Hey, it's an awesome name ...
If that is really your name.
ita ! owes me a new monitor.
Oh, and Cowboy Junkies is the emo-est, but it was a weird band name to pick out of a hat, I think.
Is anyone besides me just a tiny bit displeased that they deviate from the standard angelic names for ones that seem to prefer/default to a female host? I mean, why not Saraqael instead of Naomi? The angels themselves aren't supposed to be gendered creatures, though they use "brothers" as a default descriptor rather than the neutral "siblings."
They do seem to be using Biblical names, though -- Rachel, Naomi, etc. Michael and Gabriel aren't especially angelic, either.
