Is it possible to change a players name?
I have:
92 Jared Wilcox RDE
94 Roosevelt Wilcox NT
last game, I started my NT at RDE by mistake. Can I change (rookie) Jared Wilcox to Jared Wilkinson?

no, sorry. You can only change his name to Rufus Lamar Jackson.

I asked him and he's ok with that.

Why not change his name to Jared Fogle, then he can also be the spokesperson for Subway. It could bring in a little extra $ . . .

I would be happy to change the name of any players. Just let me know. For example, you'll notice that Lenny Olsen is now named Lenny "Jackpot" Olsen. As long as we don't go overboard doing it, I will change players names.

For an example, I'm going to rename Johnnie Titone to Johnny "One Tit" Titone.

I've been trying to avoid the Titone topic for awhile...been bouncing between Onetit and Tightone...good stuff.

I will be submitting the 36 name changes for the Rounders later tonight...jk, obviously.

I think we should assign nicknames as a group when appropriate, I think it adds a nice dimension to the game. I waited for Lenny to prove he was worth his monicker before requesting it. I would love to see more nicknamed players in the software.

Just my 2

Johnnie One-Titone-der (pronounced one tit wonder, naturally.)

I've got a couple of players whom I've nicknamed, but feel free not to change these names as you see fit:

"Buffalo" Butch Blackburn - LT
"Black" Bart Mills - LG
"Pork Chop" Cherpeski - RG
Wayne "The Cork" Nofsinger (a 271 lb MLB)

or a joke one:

change Brady Scott to Brady Mascott

I think our live chat sessions provide some of the best nickname opportunities. Since we usually have 2 a year or so, one of our goals should be to look for valid nicknames to assign.

I think they need to be earned. Maybe make the name changes a prize for the fantasy contest each year where the winner gets to add a nickname to his roster. Or add it as an incentive to show up for the live chats for games! It would invoke some more particpants and add a bit of fun to the league that I'm sure other leagues aren't doing.

An owner can't earn a player's nickname, the player needs to earn it. It doesn't matter who makes up the nickname, as long as it fits the player it should be applied. It also shouldn't happen that often either...

True, but an owner can earn the right to have it permanently changed within the game. Just like your boy Lenny Olsen. You wouldn't have had his name changed unless he earned the it. It's kind of the honor system. By getting more GMs into the live chats, I also feel a few more nicknames may be earned as well. Just food for thought is all.

Glad you agree. Still don't see how an owner can earn a player's nickname. If they get it done on the field and live up to a certain nickname - award it. If it doesn't catch it's no good, if everyone knows who you're talking about (i.e. Polish Express, Motor Mouth, Jackpot) by nickname alone then it's a keeper.

If you need to win a fantasy challenge to get a nickname, it's time to focus on your team and the draft, not the good players found around the league not likely to be on your squad anytime soon.

Just your thought-food I regurgitated.
