Since both are so similar, I had to ask. Are they more than coincidences?
-
I don't think so. Kalads the old kingdom in Warbreaker, right?
-
i know that, but they seem too similar to be unrelated somehow. That is the sort of thing that an editor is for. BS has to have known about it.
-
Kaladin's name wasn't originally Kaladin, you know. His original name was changed because it was too close to some WoT name.
-
Also,
*** Warbreaker spoilers ***
Kalad was an alternate name for Vasher. Or perhaps I should call him Warbreaker?
I don't really see a connection here.
-
Merrin was Kaladins original name, and was both to feminine and to alike to Perrin. But, they probably are unrelated.
-
Merin had one r. So it was also close to Verin.
-
and also Lanfear/Cyndane's birth name Mierin.
