If they were to re-issue the book today, would they rename the hero?
More than likely not.
Why should they? Since Douglas is a common last name, I am sure there is more than 1 Kirk.

The other day I ran across a book that had a boy named Trilby. Trilby is either a hat or a book by George Du Maurier in which Trilby is very much a girl.
