I would have denied myself for a name like Madarrahz. When I found out Arolin was playing a character named Nilora, I told him to change it because it would inevitably end in some form of denial, but in any case, people spend way too much time complaining about names. A name is a name. No name should be unique, every name in reality is used more than once (possibly besides Depressed Cupboard Cheesecake - guiness book of records for the worst name) so why does everyone worry when another character of the same name arrives on the scene, much less a name that either knowingly or unknowingly is spelt the reverse of another. Zharradam was a rip off (fighting fantasy No. 24), all of my names were a rip off with the exception of Crewso and Leraye. The only names I had problems with were the unpronouncable ones with seven consonants or vowels in a row.
