It's all in a name
Or is it?
Are the names of your characters really that important or can you just pluck any name out of thin air and use it?
In a historical story I would say, yes of course names are important. You can't set a story 200 years ago and then use a name that has only come into being in the last 50 years.
In contemporary stories this fact becomes less important. With the world now a global community made smaller and smaller by 24 hour broadcasting and the internet we steal from each others' countries...
