Editorial oddities
You know that thing that happens with popular names, when everyone rushes to name their kids Jennifer or Ashley, and then those get old and suddenly it's onto the next thing? This feels like the umpteenth story I've read that contains an Eric. Or a Kyle. Or Ryan or Jason. Jonathan seems pretty popular too. I should check to see whether that's actually what people are naming their babies these days. XD
Granted, BL yomikiri are all pretty much interchangeable Kei and Hiroshi and Hideki and Ren and Takuya and so on. What I wouldn't do for a Masatoshi or an Iwao one of these days, srsly.
Then there's the other thing, which is that 80% of these are variations on the same four stories, but that's probably a sign that the format is working as it should. XD;

I think it's important to get a character's name right, actually - I find it hard to write unless I know for sure what a character's name is, as if it defines him/her as a person. :P
