#this is making me think about how butcher might not even know that kali's callsign used to be kali

Adam. Butcher's legal name is Adam.

he does think theres a bit of irony in having a biblical name and being who he is

... which now makes me remember sylvesters deadname. but alas i am sparing those details for now. and consider yourself lucky cuz that name is heavily changed in diff languages djsbjssn (both spelling and pronounciation)

but yes. he doesnt try to hide the fact that his name is Adam. he never changed it legally to Butcher. too much hassle

he introduces himself as butcher, but wont try hiding the fact that yep. thats not his "real" name

sylvester does still exclusively call him butcher. hes the reason it stuck so hard, actually. a little teasing nickname that ended up becoming his actual identity. the kids probably know him as only butcher tho. theyve never seen his id, so they dont know any better

and i sure hope kali knows!!

idk which one i like more myself. butcher is basically muscle memory now.

ig you can think of adam as more of his middle name now. people call him that sometimes, and most people dont even know its there, but when explained it does make sense

I feel like Kali switches between Adam and Butcher, depending on if the kids are around or not. If it's just the two of them, Kali most likely calls Butcher by his real name.

Unless Butcher doesn't want him to, of course.
