That's what we are doing, with $c(Fictitious character) always added.
the exceptions noted in earlier discussion, and adding the $c only to
break a conflict, create inconsistency, as do those 130 (Motion
picture) on some video records.
We used to say if a person breathed, 600, if not 650. We now say if a
personal name, fictitious or real, human or animal, 600. KISS
