Discusión:Yanagawn

Page name

Niser Resin: Why is he called Yanagawn? That's not his real name, even if it's the one he's going by now. It makes sense for Hoid, since we don't have a clue what his real name is, but naming Gawx's page Yanagawn seems wrong.

We give a certain amount of deference to the name that a person uses for themself, even if it's not their birth name (though we do go more by what they would consider to be their full name rather than any shortened versions they use day-to-day). In Yanagawn's viewpoints in Oathbringer, he refers to himself as Yanagawn, suggesting that is the name he prefers now, and Lift is the only one I can find who still refers him as Gawx. In fact (though this is basically irrelevant to how we name pages), it also probably is his "real" name now, since I'm sure the Azish filled out the proper paperwork to legally change his name.
