## Pick a name and go with it. If the fact of the new character being future Adrien isn't a secret from the reader, you don't have to worry about names that spoil the surprise. Use whatever name Adrien himself will use. He's not going to refer internally to his future self by his own name or by something long. He'll pick a name pretty quickly, because his brain is going to need to wrap itself around this situation and that's an important way of doing it. You know the character best, but here are some names you might choose from: - Future Adrien - Future Me - Mr. Smith (whatever Adrien's last name is) - (whatever Adrien's middle name is) - Some nickname neither Adrien will find insulting, like Adie or Enn. - A childhood nickname that isn't based on his name. ## Establish this name very quickly and then use it consistently.
