My Name was Changed and I Had an Issue with it.

Unread post by Bodi »

My name was changed earlier today by a DM for it being the same name from A Baulder's Gate game. The name I had was "Bodi" and it was changed due to a FR character named "Bodhi" http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Bodhi. My issue however is the spelling of the name is different and the other issue is that I'm not playing a female thats a vampire anyways, or anything along that line. I accepted the name change from the DM at the time it happened to avoid any problems, however now that i've had time to research it, I'd like it to be considered for my name to be changed back. It is a name i've used for many years and alot of friends that i play with genuinely call me it.

Thank you.
Sincerely
Bodi :)

Ask a DM IG for another name change. It seems like you accidentally got your named changed to the one that is in the FR.

Or I'm ass backwards maybe. :shock:

No Luna, his name was changed to something else, but it was a mistake. As in, Bodhi is the FR char, the name was Bodi, so it was mistaken and changed to something different all together.

Cant two people have the same name in the FR? Is there some kind of 'true name' rule or something? :D

Even if it was "Bodhi" instead of "Bodi", maybe said person was going for the character idea based around the Bodhisattva from the Buddhist faith. ;)
