Stephen (havan) | 330 comments Not sure how this is done. I'm adding list of main characters to a book and I have one character that is just identified as Etienne. Problem is there's already a single named character called Etienne for another book. Is there a way to disambiguate this name? I know that my Etienne has appeared in other books by the same author and I'm looking to add him to those as well.
