I know it has been brought up several times about people wanting to change names due to the popularity of Fantasia Potions. But did you know that it is traditional to have a recurring Final Fantasy character to change people's names? It's Namingway. He's a NPC that would let players change their names in the previous Final Fantasy series.

I think it would be neat to have Namingway NPC in the game. Instead of letting people change names too many times, it would be very expensive or perhaps even do a quest to get their names changed. But I can see that it would pose a problem when it comes friend lists, forums, and players being confused about their "missing" friends. I propose that the changed name should have a temporary symbol or an asterisk in the friend list or Free Company list next to the name to indicate that their name was changed.

What do you guys think?
