Trust me, you were not the first. The moment is seared onto my brain when
I realized, "Dammit, I have to fix this."

I found the BARD page and see where you correctly identified (and I was
pleased that you did so, I actually saw this for the first time years ago)
where I turned Christen Overtak into an honorific in Challenge 76, but you
missed where she had already been named Gabriella Ramstattan in Striker II
I think, which is why I had to rationalize it the way I did in Ch 76.
