Character Name Aliases?

[KizunaBlade]

its to late for that, ivseen to many people with same first name, If they gona change that then they need give every player ingame name change.

From what I gather of the idea it seems you the player assign the alias and decide it on your own. And since it only applies to those in your FC or friends list you can manage it very easily. If you happen to have more then one person in your FC or friends list with the same first name, simply change the alias or use the /buddy# idea in the original post. So in my opinion the idea still functions.

Edit: this is how I think it goes-

I want an easier way to message my friend (Nami kanani) But I don't want to type the whole name when I tell. But wait! There is more then one Nami in my friends list. In this case I give my intended target the alias /tell Nams instead of /tell Nami. Or I could also assign her a number and do /tell Buddy1.
