I'm writing a novel that's set in a real city in Texas (as opposed to a fictional one), with a population of about 200,000 people. Anyways, just out of curiosity I decided to google the names of my characters, to see if there were any people with those names, especially in the town my novel is set in. I discovered one major problem... one of my fairly major (but not central) characters is named "Lucy Hernandez", and apparently there is a real Lucy Hernandez in this town. I'm guessing it would be a fairly common name in an area with a large Latino population, but should I change it just to be safe? Because I'd really rather not be sued.
