Me as a reader: "Mr Doyle/Ms Sayers/etc, you've used that name eight times already, maybe you should find some different ones."

Me as a writer: "It's totally fine if this man and this child are named Guillaume and Gwilym even though those are the French and Welsh versions of the same name, because they never interact."

#roasting myself cos YES I KNOW #at least i'm not the actual 1500s #so far i don't have a single thomas and i've completely banned the names elizabeth and mary #also me as a writer: referring to both parts of a couple by their title/surname without honorifics #MULTIPLE TIMES #yes i'd hate me too lmao #in my defense lord graylily made himself important #he wasn't meant to show up in person #he just had to exist because ladies-in-waiting were historically married women #but then i needed a Serious Man and i'd already alluded to that being lord graylily's personality #so there's two of them now you're welcome #there's also threatening to be a third but i'm trying to keep young graylily (lord graylily's son) out of it
