Great essay, even if I disagree about the real names thing. To me, it's really just so I don't forget. I have never considered that someone might thing I am making the character the actual actor. Then again, I did a set last night (improvised teen mnovie) where my Mom called my sister "Doug's sister" because he couldn't remember what I named her. People liked it so we kept doing it.

Thanks Brian! That makes sense. But what if we all worked the muscle of remembering fake names starting in 101? 🤔 could be cool… 🤓 Thanks so much for reading!!
