How to change Nicknames in Rune Factory 5

Did you think of a better name?

Nicknames can make or break your Rune Factory 5 experience. After all, nobody wants a Wooly they accidentally named and autogenerated "Wooly" because of an accidental press. That said, here’s how to change nicknames.

Of course, if you’re consulting this guide to find out whether you can change your own character’s name or not, then you’d be happy to know that you can (for free!). There’s a place in Rigbarth called Professor & Renamer where an NPC who can change your character’s nickname lives. It’s a house on the South of town.

As long as you don’t enter it during bedtime hours, their door will always be open. Changing your character’s name is especially pertinent if you’re adopting someone’s old save file or are thinking of changing genders at the end of the main story.
