Tips for tweaking books

When tweaking a book you can really mess it up and make it unreadable, for example giving all characters the same name. Here are some useful tips to follow:

Watch the information provided after each name and follow the recommendations.
Don't mix male and female names.
Don't confuse first names with surnames.

Robinson		Also called Robin.
Crusoe		Surname.
Kreutznaer		Same as Crusoe. Robinson explains that his name was changed from Kreutznaer to Crusoe. If you change the name Crusoe to another surname then it is recommended to change Kreutznaer to an older sounding version of that name.
Friday		Tweaking the name Friday to another name creates a strange sentence when Robinson explains that he gives him that name because that was the day he saved his life. You can change it to another week day without that problem.
