Sehun name change?
Hey everybody!
For those of you who don't know already, I am on the road to publishing True Beauty. I've been editing, revising, formatting, and re-editing for about a month now, and I've already submitted my copy and have a physical proof coming soon. In my down time after finishing editing, however, I got to thinking, and I'm going to be changing Sehun's name.
Previously I had mentioned that while I had changed all of the other EXO members, I would retain Sehun's name as a memorable token because True Beauty did first start off as a fanfic. As I thought about it, however, I feel like many people would assume that I'm using Sehun's name to earn more money, which is certainly not the case. I am not using any of the EXO members for my monetary gain. Even the physical characteristics used in the fanfic that described the EXO members have been changed in the actual novel (i.e: Jongin's tanned skin, Chanyeol's deep voice and baby face, and even the hair colors of the members) because I don't want you guys to think that I am trying to rip off EXO's fame in any way.
Therefore, I will be changing Sehun's name before the novel is officially published, and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions? I tend to like less known names (For example, I don't want his name to be something commonly heard like David or Michael or something like that.) I still want you guys to have a say in it because I personally feel that True Beauty was a team achievement. I wouldn't have been able to continuously update and actually finish the damn fic if it wasn't for you guys.
Some names I currently have in consideration are: Skyler, Tristan, Sean (Leaning towards this name tbh), Scott, Austin, Skye
As a heads up, Kai's name will still remain in the fic because that's the name of my cousin, and I promised all of them that their names would be found throughout the novel. I can't just be like, "Sorry kid, it's you're fault you share the same name with a Kpop celebrity.".
In better news, True Beauty should be officially published by mid-end of August, and I hope you guys are excited as I am! ^^
