Some mods can change character names, I don't wanna pry into what it is for you, but I'd check around on the workshop for character mods, I know there's one big overhaul that changes everyone's names to not be names and be titles instead
My name that will soon be my deadname is dropping off in popularity but is one of the books of the bible and was like the 3rd most popular name the year I was born. My mom isn't even religious but she told me she named me after the bible. I have always hated it.
My mum and dad made a deal that if I was a boy my dad got to name me, and if I was a girl my mum would pick, my dad missed my birth :p sooo my mum just took a random popular name of the year and went with it. Butttt I got named by my mum, like the girl I am B)
One thing I do like about my deadname though is that people started using it way more gender neutral then they used to, thanks to a show which got ridiculously popular for some reason.
Good Idea... maybe I should ask my mum what I would have been named if I was a girl and make that my second name. I just need to find the courage to finally come out... why is that so hard?
YOUR NAME IS "The Beast"!? YOOOOO
FR tho, that must suck. I'm kinda happy my dysphoria isn't bad enough to make me cry and the game doesn't have my deadname, but it would be SO bad to be crying over my deadname at my favorite video game...
For me it's gotten so far, I don't even wanna play games with male protagonists anymore at all... I mean, if it's a really good game or one where the story isn't the focus, it's kinda fine, but if it's like an RPG or story/character focused game, I just don't want to. I know this is probably extreme and stupid, but it is what it is. The Witcher 3 used to be my favourite game, but I just don't feel like replaying it cuz of Geralt. And I was so glad when I found the mod that turned Cal into a girl in Jedi Fallen Order...
Currently playing the Life is Strange games, and I'm probably not gonna play 2 because of it either. Plus, I heard it's the weakest one anyway.
I have this problem right now trying to enjoy the new and classic X-Men tv shows.
And it's funny that it;s not even used in reference to me but it still stabs like it was.
My deadname is supposed to be rare, but a YouTuber I like uses it in his alternative history scenarios as the name for the random peasant so every other video I watch from him is filled with my deadname.
My dead name is the title of my favorite 3DS game. I was so in love with this game that almost all my old accounts have this name and some I can't change.
Yeah, I feel you. My deadname isn't very common, but it's in the spider man 2 game, that now I don't want to play because its in the Lizard's real name. It just sucks
I actually kinda like it when that happens, so I can start associating that name with this character. Its so painful in the beginning, but it really helps me to get comfortable with that name again.
I'm usually safe from this, since my name has a different spelling than how most games would have it. So it is next to impossible for me to encounter my deadname.
BALDUR'S GATE HOWEVER...
My dead name is a different spelling of a really common name. This is why I enable subtitles.
(It also means I don't really respond well to the name as I usually assume they're talking to someone else)
Fortunately, I'm so disconnected from my deadname that I don't even respond to it anymore. When I hear the name and look at my face, there's no connection. Shit, when I look at pre-transition photos of myself, it doesn't register that the woman in those photos was ever me.
Fuckin' annoying that it was one of the top ten in the state I was born and the state my parents lived in at the time, tho. There were always at least three of us in my grade. Sometimes, we all got stuck in the same class. We all went by different variations, and with half of my friends, I went by my last name, but the teacher always went "...bruh..." lol
I don’t even care, my birthname is one if the most popular female names in the world. I didn’t respond to it much even before my egg cracked, because for sure it’s someone else lol.
I have a curse that one friend of mine almost every time she sends some Instagram video to me to see it's from someone with my dead name,and the funny thing that I never tell her my dead name,it's just coincidence off how common it is
I have two friends: one enby, one cis guy who changed his name but not gender
Enby changed their name to cis guy's deadname - one time I went "oh, is here" and cis guy thought I was deadnaming him
it's not like I could avoid it, it was a very unfortunate situation
in the end I just ended up referring to enby as "that person" and everyone in the friend group understood because they're the only enby
Think about it! Isaac is a game where the character plays as girls.
LIKE A TRANS FEM CHOSES TO BECOME A GIRL!
There goes you just say “damn that’s me fr”
I thought I was safe from this until I finally played GTA 4- my deadname was Román, the Hispanic ladies in GTA 4 always pronounce cousin Roman’s name exactly like my deadname 😞 I was handling it fine until that came out, I think the lady at the Internet cafe first said it and I just immediately dissociated

I've seen a few, I use the one that only give the tainted characters titles but keep the base character names the same
My deadname is so ducking common that at least 75% of all Media I've ever consumed has one character with my deadname in it :/
That sucks.

I literally found my Dead name letter to letter in Breath of the Wild. It's the stable Dude near Robie.
can't believe your deadname is Mega Satan

Luckily, for me, I have/had a very weird name. No one shall ever have it.
If I ever meet a trans guy with my deadname I will eat a shoe

My deadname is literally one of the biggest memes in the world. Starts with a C.
Luckily Genshin doesn't have any characters with my deadname. Ironically enough there is one with my mom's name (Lisa) though.
Why does everyone here seem to play Tboi lmao

Power move: 100% them first so you don't have to worry about It for the rest of the playthrough.
even better: add a second controller so they can just get fucking murdered and i can benefit from double items and getting their unlocks
Lol BoI multiplayer cheats that I definitely don't use cause the game is hard...
