i keep thinking about post game aus where Davesprite survives(AS HE SHOULD HAVE) and the whole,,, Name issue that creates theres 4 things ive seen ppl do 1. keep the name Davesprite(feels dehumanizing af, makes him being not the 'Real Dave' part of his core identity) 2. change his name(can make sense as a part of self discovery and reclaiming ur own identity, trans coded, But also again, kinda legitimizes his whole identity issues at the same time, he shouldnt have to compromise his identity just cus some fucked up shit happened 2 him, hes just as much Dave as Dave is) 3. give Davesprite a nickname (can be cute but again, prioritizes the other daves identity as dave) 4. call them both Dave(validating, but can get confusing af(especially in written works)) i believe i have found a solution tho give them middle names

#they could pick their own middle names so its fair #their first few choices would prob line up but theyve spent years being different ppl now so after the first 5 or so #theyd list different shit meaning neither of them gets priority #also the power this would give their family n friends...#yelling out their full names when annoyed or whatever #dave strider #davesprite #rambles #also ppl should be less scared of callnig them both dave... it happens all the time in real life #i shared a name with a relative for ages and sure thered be mixups occasionally but like that can just add comedy
