This is a little awkward.
I've written a few first-person stories, but they're fictional. Sometimes people comment on the stories as if they're talking to the story's narrator...
Uh... She's not here... can I take a message?

It's kind of a compliment, that you write so well he (or she) considers it actual reality.
Tintinnabulation - first place (Free Spirit)
Comet Q - second place (Quick and Risqué Sex)
Amnesia - third place (Le Noir Erotique)
i had a reader message me saying he was sorry I was no longer going to post stories because the narrator of a story said his wife was making him quit. i had to message him back. I can't afford to lose readers by mistake.
Ha! I started naming all of my protagonists Justin (my name) only because I can't be bothered to think up a new name for every story. They're not me, and not even the same character.
Don't believe everything that you read.
Names, I pick from the top thousand names from social security. I suspect other countries have similar resources. I go down and pick a name for the main characters, usually below two hundredth and above five hundredth. That gets me away from the classic top twenty names. Although my personal name has been in the top twenty for most of my lifetime.
