Would it then be possible to find the same text written by Abc? It doesn't make much sense. The same applies to random names in the text, really. It seems to me that it would be wise to tell people to select a single author for their text, to avoid such a contradiction, and specific names for people involved.

Or at least advise that this feature should be used sparingly. Good point. I was writing a text which used the random feature for both the author and a person mentioned in the text, and I wondered, "what if the random name generator gives both people the same name? That would be a bit awkward." In that case you could differentiate the two characters with a title, like Commander, Captain, Lord and so on. It's not perfect, but at least the reader won't be confused.
