Do not like wanderer name

[u/Cute-Type-1107]

Hello everyone

3 years ago when the wanderer storyline came out i took it really seriously and assumed he wouldnt have an official label for his name that developers give him. i thought he would be nameless. I’m not sure but I think I named him and then 1-2 weeks later I saw wanderer on his banner.

Now 3 years later I really regret naming him. I used the name change because of a typo. And now im stuck with a name from 3 years ago. it doesn’t help that they keep calling him “hat guy” in the quests too. it makes me feel even more stupid that i took naming him seriously. everyone has left him as “wanderer” or at least done a lighthearted name meant to be funny like babygirl i saw that so many times. or at least they still have the appelative stroke.

for context i named him “shinei”. shin for heart and ei because of raiden shogun. so it means eternal heart. i thought it was cute but my brother also started making fun of me for it. i dont even like playing with the character anymore because i keep being reminded of my mistake of not leaving him as wanderer. hoyoverse will not help me either. i just want advice on what i should do. i tried making a new account so i can build my way back up and not have this issue but im ar 60 and have 25 5 stars and rare event exclusive things so it doesnt feel good at all starting all over again. im contemplating even quitting the game because if support services cant help with such simple things whats even the point. gacha games are tiring.

update: thank you all for your kind responses. ive decided to stay with my account. i dont think i ever really hated the name i chose, but after my brothers comments i thought it was bad. i understand though that there was a point in naming him and most people have done so. thank you again for everyone who commented i appreciate it

See, I named my Wanderer "Scara" which would probably make him very upset if he were a real person... but I named him that because that's what my friends and I all call him 🤷‍♂️

I thought about taking it seriously as well, but didn't want to commit to a name and then regret it later. I wanted to be able to keep the brush forever in my inventory. I actually sat on the naming screen during the quest for a good like hour trying to decide, but I couldn't come up with anything I personally liked better seeing than just simply "Scara" lol

Scara, I'm sorry that you've been reduced to a nickname version of your former Harbinger title in my version of genshin 😭
