That aside, if you're intending to fantasia her into a Raen, the name seems fine to me as far as a Japanese-inspired name. I couldn't say if it's similar to an NPC or not, but if it is, so what. Nobody in real life has the same name, ever, right? As long as your character isn't an attempt to mimic said NPC (which from what you said, she isn't), that doesn't seem problematic at all.

I had this name the day Dashes were put out, and was waiting for them just for this name. I never considered for a moment that Doma would have a Tamamo.

15th century Mongolian. Slightly different part of the world, haha!

I think someone else said that earlier today online as well.

I do admit to having a personal gripe against using a different character name to your nameplate, only because it is confusing and requires others to keep a note of the IC name (ah if only the game had that feature). Â You could put the IC name in your search text.

I just assume people would call her Tamamo upon seeing her name was clearly supposed to be Tamamo-no-Mae instead of Tamamo-no Mae. Her name is just Tamamo, with Tamamo-no-Mae being her merchant tag of sorts. If someone was to refer to her in character, they would more than like use her title, Tamamo-no-Mae, for clarification if they knew other Tamamo's.

1. don't worry about it

2. you can write in a workaround for your character, such as her being born xaela but named and adopted/raised by raen

3. the racial naming convention thread the others linked above is pretty handy

4. being similarly named to an npc isn't the end of the world

5. had one more piece of advice but got distracted by your sad alisha is sad avatar

How is my name not Lore Abiding? I'm tired of being told it isn't.
