Fiction

have you ever written an autobiographical short story and then realized that you just cannot switch someone's name to something ficticious? you realize that the person you have written about already has the perfect name? argh... my opening line for the most recent scribble i am working on includes the two most perfect names in the world. maybe i am biased. but how am i supposed to alter perfection without messing it up? i need to fall back into pure fiction again.
