This was a lot different since it was our daughter's first marriage and her husband carried some demographic information very close to my character's, so it might look like I got that information because of his history. Also, my character in the book was naïve, geeky, and he stuttered, which are not anything like my son-in-law. Then they had the baby, who I could just picture ten years from now saying something like, "Grandma, why did you name this silly character after my Daddy?" I had to lose the name even though I had it first.
