What, in case the canon storyline does something similar?
Cause that's a risk with anything. You can make literally the least radical concept ever: a regular old farmer, no tragic backstory, with a deliberately boring name pulled directly from the naming convention thread, who toils all day in the fields...
...and next expac there could still be an MSQ NPC with coincidentally the same name as yours, who is a farmer toiling in coincidentally the same fields... that ends up playing a major role in a major NPC's character development.
And then you'd be in the same position as OP, where you wouldn't be sure whether to change your character to avoid the stigma of ""copying"" the MSQ (when you came up with your thing first) or to stick to your guns and ignore the haters.
The problem OP is talking about has nothing to do with how close or far from the lore someone's concept is.
