Also, regarding the surname, that in of itself is not unique—"da Parma," as you're likely aware, simply means "of Parma". While da Parma is indeed a very uncommon surname in modern days, it was a surname likely given to many italians of the character's era residing in Parma; a quick google search of the surname will show you a couple of them. Given the character's status and birthplace, I simply figured giving him the surname of da Parma (which I came up with as I was working on the character rather than doing a google search) would be the most believable option—no, I am not familiar with you in any way. As for your first name, that is certainly by no means unique nor did I obtain it from what appears to be your LinkedIn profile, which I wasn't even aware of until now.

If short, if your request is that I change the character's surname, then I'm going to have to object to that; however, changing the character's first name would be a relatively minor issue for me (but keep in mind, I am under no legal obligation to do so), so that would be a fine compromise if you still object to the character's naming.
