A lot of fairy tale translations change names for characters, or give names to nameless characters. I did a lot of OCs for Madame d'Aulnoy's stories. About half of her stories appear in Andrew Lang's Fairy Books, and most of them have their names changed in Lang's versions (for example, Joliette in The Little Good Mouse is renamed Delicia; Torticoli in The Golden Branch is renamed Curlicue). With most of my d'Aulnoy-based OCs, the original names take precedence over Lang's. However, with other French fairy tales in Lang's books (i.e. The Blue Parrot, An Impossible Enchantment, Prince Narcissus and the Princess Potentilla), Lang's names take precedence (mostly because the originals for many of them are almost impossible to find in English).
