Should minor characters have names?

And a reading of later bits of that older draft, name is now needed to connect dots, so that doctor got his name restored. Introduced, but then kept to “the doctor” for most of the rest to signal it’s less...necessary, more about the role being played.1 point -

Lets not totally derail this topic Names… yep, size of the role dependent. Whether it’s sexual or not. When reworking the potter fanfic, noticed I had removed a doctor’s name between two (earlier) drafts today, kept the name out simply as it’d be more distracting than helpful. Guess that’s a better measure for your gang of boys & girls the MC is going through – name helpful or distracting to the narrative?1 point
