Nicknames: simple requested feature

Most players use their full name, but some show their nickname. It would be nice to have an option to click that would revert back to their full name, instead of displaying their nickname. We do have the option to add a nickname, but can't go the other way. Maybe I'm just tired of trying to keep up with who is "Diego" or "Raul" in any given year. (Or maybe I just can't stand Brazilian footballers.)

It lists their full name on their personal page.

Yes, I am aware, but you have to dig. My comment was more toward when you're looking at a team roster, or transfer list, or the like, it does not show there. Just a minor, minor idea... a personal preference.

Yeah I agree, I can imagine that it's very difficult to manage Brazilian and/or Portugese teams if you haven't much knowledge about the player's names in those countries.

Agreed - it's terribly annoying that you can't remove their nicknames. I've got a Spanish regen called "David" that I just signed to my England Conf. League 2 squad. Unless you're the 2nd coming of Pele, calling yourself David is just not going to fly.

I'll add my agreement; my gripe is subtly different.

I can use "Set Nickname" to turn 16-year-old regen "Juan" back into "Juan Armendariz", which is his 'real name'.

However, from then on, the commentary only ever refers to him as "Juan Armendariz", and never uses his last name alone, "Armendariz". Likewise, the 'name' text over his sprite on the 3-D pitch reads "Juan Armendariz", rather than "Armendariz".

Its a real minor thing, but ten years on, when my world is full of "Manuel"s, "Juan"s, "David"s, "Cristian"s, and "Luis"es, its fairly jarring .. especially when two or more players with the same "single name" have risen to tremendous prominence in Brazil, Spain, etc.

I'd prefer a system in which regens started with their full name, and kept using their full name until reaching a certain reputation, and then adopted an appropriate "single name" which was currently unused by any player.
