Has anyone got deep into their stories, only to come to despise the name of two of your characters and you decide to rename them both?
I'm now at this point with my story and the two main male characters' names have went from loved to despised.
I am wondering if I am the only one who feels this way about their characters' names later on in the writing process. I don't mean soon after you have started to write the novel but deep into the story, like 150 pages into the story where your characters true personalities start to really come out and the names you loved, now becomes despised as they no longer fit them anymore.
Yes, I do plan on doing a very thorough editing session as soon as I figure out the new names for my characters. When I do figure out several names for them, I will make a new journal with the names for each of my two characters that are going to be renamed.
So, what do you do when you no longer love your characters' names and you are deep into the writing process?
UPDATE: I have renamed my main villain but the leading male's name is now being looked for out of these names on my poll that I have running on my page seen here: fanfictionaxis.deviantart.com/…

Facebook scammers and life in general.
First off, I will state, forgive me for not being here of late. I have left my job at McDonalds' on May 18, 2020, and within an hour of quitting McDonalds', I ended up getting a better job at a local grocery store as a cashier, which I love to do! But on July 10/11, 2020, I ended up calling my dad as I drove home stating that I was freezing and sweating all at the same time. He told me to turn around and go to the ER. I ended up coming up with a UTI. I got antibiotics for it and called in sick at work. That Sunday was July 12th, my 50th Birthday, I noticed a huge red patch on my left inner thigh. I showed it to my dad and he didn't like that it was hot to the touch. So off to the hospital we went and after five hours of contending with the various tests that they did, I called my boss at my new job and told her that I was in the hospital and to let the other cashiers know that I'm on medical leave. About four hours later, I was admitted and taken to a room. I stayed in that room for
Long time since I've been here.
Life went bonkers and life has gone to pieces. Let's just state that in 2018, I lost my grandmother Betty on March 4, 2018, from a broken heart and a wish to be dead. Her wish was granted but our inheritance that was supposed to come from her, never came as she rewrote her Will to have everything go to her middle son, nothing to her granddaughter or to her youngest son. We basically lost everything that she was going to give to us. But we no longer cared as whatever we told her, she wouldn't believe us, her middle son had brainwashed her to where anything we told her as truth to her was nothing but lies coming from us. I ended up getting another job at McDonald's as my job at KOLH's went to one day a month and not looking like it would be any better. At McDonald's, I work as the drink station lady and tended to the front lobby to keep it clean and tidy. I made sure that the lobby would be clean till the morning cleaning lady would be there. I also made sure that the tea was strong
Sorry I have not been here in months.
Life has been busy for me.
One my health has changed for the not so good, all I will state about that is that I'm now on oxygen at night. I'm also wearing readers to read things now since the words are starting to blur without readers.
Currently working at Kohls and they love my mindset at work as they gave me the job that not everyone wants to do - yup, putting the security tags on the clothes that requires them. I end up getting them done within 4 hours which the others would take most of the day to do. I get them done within three and a half hours or less, I also get to wear an ear bug and once I am done with the security tags, I am able

Well, if I feel like my characters' names doesn't fit anymore, I just write down the old name and just come up with a new name. But just in case, I don't like the new name, at least I have the old name saved if I want to change it back or make a name similar to it.
