On the eventpage a naming button could be added. When you want to give another char your name hit it, no need to speak to them. The other person saves 3 clicks.

As it is people can have double personalities and state a different name at certain occasions, is that good for gameplay?

I don't think this is a good idea. Giving someone your name is something that in real life usually requires interaction and speech - why should it be different in Cantr? This suggestion essentially amounts to automation.

I don't quite understand what you mean in the second part of your post. A character can be named different things by different characters, but one character will always have the same name for another character. That's realistic, more or less, and anything that tried to prevent it at the programming level would basically be a "hand of god" effect that we try to avoid in the design of Cantr.
