Help! I have a collection of characters in my story. One is a robot called...yes you guessed it...Pandora. I adora Pandora, even though she's a cliche. The name suits her so well. She is a multi-talented blonde blue-eyed babe! Now, when I submit my magnus opus to agents and the like, are they going to groan and say "Oh no not ANOTHER Pandora!"? Shall I change her name?

I've found that if you try changing the name of your character when you've decided it fits, it mucks the writing mind up.
Is there another Pandora somewhere currently?
Hopefully your story will be good enough for them to be okay with it.
[quote=Carol]Is there another Pandora somewhere currently?[/quote] I don't know if there are any around currently (apart from mine) BUT, in Avatar the world is called Pandora. In the science of artificial intelligence the most advanced chatbot application is made by "pandorabots". Philip Pullman's little girl Lyra has a soul named 'Pan'. I'm sure I could go on. However, you have reassured me that Pandora my character is and - good - Pandora she remains.
