How is this different (if at all) from WronglyAccused?
{{AK47x2}}: The only difference I can tell is that WronglyAccused means friends can believe you. In ClearMyName, you stand alone.
{{Lale}}: Proposing a merge. It's too small a difference to be a split; more likely an accident.
{{Ununnilium}}: Indeed. Heck, the first sentence of WronglyAccused uses "clear his name".
ShireNomad: To avoid any confusion over old links to the WronglyAccused page, I've set up a redirect to ClearMyName from there.
ShireNomad: Which someone keeps deleting. Either that or I'm doing it wrong.

SilentHunter: Are there any examples involving women?
{{Etrangere}}: Well there's Harriet in Sayers' ''Peter Wimsey'' series, but she wasn't a hero, but a DistressedDamsel at this point so I'm not sure that counts. There was Hitchcock's The Crime Was Almost Perfect too. Closer to a heroine, even if she had to get help. For a very low key version, Haruhi of ''Ouran Host Club'' does get wrongly accused in the first episode, but the framing is very badly made and nobody believes it for more than one second.
SilentHunter: Thank you very much. This is a great Wiki.
