drive-by fic question
I've had a BSG-characters-reincarnated-in-modern-New-York fic rattling around in my brain for a little while now, and my Cliche Bingo card has this awesome "high school/college AU" square that gives me a good excuse to write crackfic about, say, Lee the law student and Athena and Boomer the troubled identical twins and things like that. The problem is that technically if they are going around being reincarnated they should probably have different names -- but I think that might be confusing/distracting, and while I'm going to give them time-and-place-appropriate last names anyway, I don't know if there should be a first name switch also. It would still be pretty obvious who was who, but again, possibly distracting!

Should I change the characters' names?
