Yes I got the idea from a film and I wanted to keep the persons name but it’s still written with some of my own ideas and plot is different from the film. I didn’t know a character name would be such a big problem, I don’t know if I should change the name then

I don’t know what other names to use that sounds masculine and powerful like John Connor

I get that, it can be inspired by the film but you can’t use someone’s creation. I say you should change the name.

I’m only warning you since you could potentially loose your story if a reader has seen the film and reports your story for copyright (:
There’s loads of names. You can literally use random names from generators that you can find online. Ideas (Basic) = James, Oliver, Leo, Oscar, River, Theodore etc… Last Names = Rivers/Riviera, Singala, Treelo, Probola, Freso etc…
Feel free to ask for more ideas (:

Your welcome, you just have to be careful when it comes to contributing to industries like literature/music/film or arts since copyright is often spoke about due to how often it is found to be breeched/violated (:

As long as you are not using their original characters, personalities, backgrounds etc…(Obviously if they have a sweet character in the film, you can still have a sweet character since that’s a common trait but you can’t have a character with the same past/background as any in the film you are using as inspiration)
What I mean by the above is that if a character in the original film had been cheated on, fell in ‘love’, cheated on again, fell into a downward spiral (cliche ik but just an example) etc…Your character couldn’t then go and have the exact same past journey (dates/actions/plot twists etc…)
It’s not just about being stitched up. It’s about following the rules in the first place so no one has the opportunity to ‘stitch u up’. If you do make a mistake by violating a guideline then you are supposed to learn from it and correct your mistake by tweaking your story to follow the guidelines.
