3D Play-Name on the back - hyphenated first name

[Larryk007]

The back of the jersey should have an option in the player file to change to a hyphenated first name version for similar last names.
example, instead of multiple Jones:
Atlanta......
C. Jones
A. Jones

It would be an option for the player, so not everyone would have this displayed......J.Bench NOT

Good idea!

In my league's championship, which I watched play out even though my team wasn't in it, the eventual winning team had 3 Nakamuras in its starting lineup! And believe it or not, a 4th on the bench! I kid you not. And watching it was kind of funny because one of them is maybe the best hitter in the league so whenever a Nakamura came up I thought, "Uh oh, he's up again!... Oh, no, it's not him."

Funny..............
Is that a common Japanese name?

I'm not Japanese so I wouldn't really know, but I asked Gemini AI and it placed it 8th:

The most popular Japanese last names are:

Satō (佐藤): This is consistently the most common surname in Japan. It's often linked to the powerful Fujiwara clan, with "tō" (藤) being the same kanji as the "fuji" in Fujiwara.
Suzuki (鈴木): The second most common, it means "bell tree" or "bellwood." Its origin is thought to be from an old word for an ear of rice that was considered sacred.
Takahashi (高橋): Meaning "high bridge" or "tall bridge," its roots are unclear but it's believed to have been adopted by people living near bridges in mountainous terrain.
Tanaka (田中): This name means "in the middle of the rice field" and reflects Japan's deep connection to agriculture.
Watanabe (渡辺/渡邊): Meaning "to cross over" or "crossing the border/area," it's often associated with families who lived near water crossings.
Itō (伊藤): Similar to Satō, the "tō" (藤) refers to wisteria, also linked to the Fujiwara clan.
Yamamoto (山本): This means "base of the mountain" or "mountain origin," suggesting families who lived at the foot of mountains.
Nakamura (中村): Meaning "middle village," it likely indicated a centrally located community.
Kobayashi (小林): This name translates to "small forest."
Katō (加藤): Another name incorporating "wisteria" (藤), also often linked to the Fujiwara clan.
Many Japanese surnames have meanings related to geographical features, occupations, or historical clans, reflecting the traditional ways people were identified.

Of that top 10 I only have 1 Sato on my team. I think that team just lucked out, but it goes to show you what can happen just by chance.

I'm actually a bit surprised OOTP hasn't implemented the idea already for its Korean users. Apparently 45% of Korean last names are either Kim, Lee, or Park.

Seems the OOTP Dev people could place an edit next to nicknames in the player file......sounds easy to me but I am of course not a programer(!)
