Seriously, once you get to the editing stage, names like that will turn into a nightmare.

    most software will let you search specific strings. so like, “Will” != “will”

    frankly that plus what the other guy’s comment said, this seems like a non-issue that you’re kind of responsible for if you just decide to seek no solution and truck through the significant extra labor.

      I have found that many people’s problems in life are in fact caused by their own choices and refusal to find solutions.

    That’s the english language’s own fault for being so terrible. Also, for Ed, just try " Ed ", with a leading and ending space. For Will, you will have a battle of wills to find the Will, unless he left a will

    You can search for " Ed " with spaces to get isolated instances of the name

    Call them Will, but write Wilx. Find and replace at the end.
