Would you rather read a book if the main character is called Carlson or Kara? FYI her first name appears in the books title so that's why it's kind of a bigger deal than usual.

..have you decided on the whole book title and which name fits better and feels more right to you, Riley..?.../I don't know, I think that I personally would focus on the story more and not restrict myself with the title and her name for the moment because that can easily be changed but you could give yourself a bit of a 'block' in your writing in general if you start thinking too much about that now...it might even be that you think as you go along that you'll change the book title because the story might dictate it to feel better being something else, stories have a way of deciding these things for us, so it's staying flexible to that, you know and just letting it lead you as well...and hopefully lead you to the perfect title and the perfect name for your character.../good luck with your writing and your book.....
