I want to nominate a character for Sky High (2005) who AO3 will automatically try to turn into a different version of the character. There's a character whose backstory involves having been regressed to infancy and having grown up without the memories of that first life. I want story about anything before the regression but nothing at all after.

The character has a different name to either side of that event. Sue Tenny before and Gwen Grayson after. I've run into trouble with this disambiguation issue before, so I wanted to ask-- What would be the preferred way to handle it?

Writing Sue when Gwen was requested or requesting only Sue when Gwen was nominated/offered seems extremely unfair to the party on the other side, and I'd rather just omit the characters from nominations altogether than smash the two together.
