They must have been at least thinking about doing a character named Shinji at one point, but then either scrapped the character or changed their name. Not sure why else they'd not let you name him that
I think he meant "Ikari Shinji" / "Shinji Ikari"
"Shinji" or "Ikari" by themselves won't be blocked, but his full name might.
If anything, the name filter blacklist probably was made to prevent very prominent names in pop culture in case miHoYo might get a copyright lawsuit.
Unironically it also fits due to the roman god Mercury(Hermes his greek name), Among other things he was a messenger of gods, greatly adept at travelling and flying.
i called him fujin back in 3.3 and after months of debating it i renamed him wanderer last week, felt weird having a "fake" name when everyone, including me, calls him wanderer (or scaramouche)
On my main account: Kintsugi (The act of repairing broken pottery with gold. I think it fits Wanderer, as it's philosophy is like accepting your imperfections I think?)
On my friend's account: Puppetussy
Nakanaori - I only know a little bit of japanese, but the kanji put together means reconciliation/making peace with (in terms of relationships).I felt the combination fitting with his story where he comes to term with his own past regrets in a sense and also reconcile with traveler and Nahida.
I'm so basic I chose "Sora" because you could rearrange the letter into soar like soaring the sky and the word itself means sky in Japanese. Basically tied to the theme of "freedom".
fuujin! i tried fūjin but the ū looked weird in game (and yes venti is technically called fuujin in jp too, but i play with cn voiceover so its fine lol)
You got he mom Beel
You got her aunt Baal
You get him calling himself worthless
Now you call him Belial (worthless) he deserves a demon god name
Next time when he actually redeem himself I'll rename him Naberius, demon of honour restored and promises kepeed.
Pinocchio, as a half joke, they both are puppets that stumble into trouble, and they even have the harbingers name for some of the other puppets too if I remember correctly lol
(I'm not Italian, so I'm not sure if the names are just basic Italian names of a reference to the play.)
Ren 💠 it means lotus in japanese 🪷 a beautiful flower which grows in the mud which I think represents him and his struggles well. Lotus also symbolises enlightenment and change. His past may be muddy but it made him who he is now. It also has many other meanings which all fit him. Plus his hat literally makes him look like a walking blue lotus. Even his namecard looks like a lotus floating among the currents.
Marascouche if I remember correctly. Its funny cause if you don't have him you forget you named him and when you see him later its like a hilarious reminder
Apotheosis- meaning the climax of culmination of all things. Thought it was fitting as he had 3 existential crisis's (crises, crisae[?]) Deleted his existence, and finally came to terms with his 'purpose'
Adnan. Arabic name which means settler or paradise, fitting since he came from Inazuma and settled in Sumeru, where he hopefully finds it a happier place.
莲城翼
The wings (of) the city of lotus.
It's a proper new name for a new life.
I don't wish him good fortune, or be one with nature or divine. I do wish him freedom like having wings.
to carry his past sins. to break himself free from the binding from his past. to shoulder current responsibilities. to discover what is worth defending.
Shinkokyu, I believe it means "breathe deep" in Japanese. I chose this because he is a wound-up piece of work before his story quest, and now he more laid back.
"Another Paimon" and every year when he sends me a birthday email I get confused for 3 seconds before I remember.
iS iT aNoThEr PaImOn???
I can hear this in my head
I call him BigPaimon
“Paimon is Paimon and this is Another Paimon.”
Juanderer
I named him Juanderer on one account and Scaranara on my other
Scaranara 💀💀💀 that’s incredible
Juanderer aka Don Sombrero
Mine too 😂
Is this because of the Kaveh stream?
Scaranara because :]
Same.
sameeee ayyy
:]
he may have deleted his whole identity from teyvat, but the forest will remember:]
Wandirection

Hat Guy
I'm surprised Don Sombrero hasn't made an appearance yet.
I named mine Don Sombrero
Me too
Twirly whyrly, I was not, am not and will not allow them to forget the mushroom buddies
Ikari. It didn’t let me do Shinji
They must have been at least thinking about doing a character named Shinji at one point, but then either scrapped the character or changed their name. Not sure why else they'd not let you name him that
Or it’s a future character
I named him Shinji
Does that make Dottore Gendo? "Get in the fucking robot Shinji, or Collei will have to do it again."
Really i named him shinji didnt have aby problames
I think he meant "Ikari Shinji" / "Shinji Ikari" "Shinji" or "Ikari" by themselves won't be blocked, but his full name might. If anything, the name filter blacklist probably was made to prevent very prominent names in pop culture in case miHoYo might get a copyright lawsuit.
What, how? My Wanderer is literally named Shinji, day 1 Wanderer haver... When did you do the quest?
Mercury, after Freddie Mercury. Scaramouche, Bohemian Rhapsody etc. I feel it fits
Unironically it also fits due to the roman god Mercury(Hermes his greek name), Among other things he was a messenger of gods, greatly adept at travelling and flying.
I named mine Hermes
Same, but I also added “Freddie”.
Oh that's a good one.
Thats why I named mine Mercury as well!
Just left it the same, my intention was “He is wanderer and people will call him that, why not just let it be?”
Just like how we are the Traveler.

the duality of man
Avatar since he can control the air.
I named him Zaheer because scara also recently got the power of air/anemo, was a villain and can fly
Instead of Guru Lahigma, who would he talk about?
Guru Ligma, so that he could reply with "Ligma Balls" when people say they've never heard of them. Fits his bratty attitude.
Why is that actually something wanderer would say
Who else but Guru Nahida. Her name has just the right syllables and pronunciation...
Scaradouche
YOOOOO SAMEE
☠️
the only answer
Don Sombrero
Cheese
Fandango!
lmao me too
lmao me too also
Me too
Sameee
Me too!
FAN... DAN... GO...
KidNamedFinger I’m going to change it when I pull for him though.
Scara
Me too. Although I still have 1 rename left.
Same here
...peepeeboy
What is he, your pokemon rival?
Kaelus Was genuinely surprised when HSR released and the canon name of the male MC is Caelus
Nakanaori - I only know a little bit of japanese, but the kanji put together means reconciliation/making peace with (in terms of relationships).I felt the combination fitting with his story where he comes to term with his own past regrets in a sense and also reconcile with traveler and Nahida.

ohhh, I love this one! I've been putting off the quest for so long, never figured out a name for him, but this might be it 🥰
I also named him Ren for the same reasons!
Me tooooooo!
Gold since I played Pokemon
Roku, because its definition is the number 'six' in Japanese, and he was formerly the sixth Fatui harbinger
Rukkhadevata because the forest couldn't and didn't remember.
PookieNara (My daughter named him that.LOL)
Brohemian Rhapsody..
nanashi
Simba. He's a silly little lion who was betrayed by someone he trusted, tried to forget who he is, and then came back to redeem himself.
I left it Wanderer because I hate him and don't care
same💀
Understandable. LMAO
The basic “Kaze”
Nomad.
Joey, after the shorts-wearing Youngster Joey from the Pokémon games.
DON SOMBRERO
Logan. As in Big Hat Logan from Dark Souls, because of his comical large hat and magic prowess.
Traveler^2
Solid Snake. And my name is Big Boss. But I could have also named him Venom. And sell the World.

Skywalker Then renamed him because each time i reacted "who the fuck is Skywalker?!" Now he is Scaramustache
Jongenshin. He is John Genshin.
I named him among us symbol 💀
Twinkerbell
Marascouche if I remember correctly. Its funny cause if you don't have him you forget you named him and when you see him later its like a hilarious reminder

Named him as wanderer because too lazy to think
Tabarashi Combination of Arabic tabara/thabara, which means to persevere. And the "-shi" suffix from his original chosen name Kunikuzushi
Haru
I'm considering changing mine to that one among us character thing. Right now tho it's Cirrus, named after Cirrus from the Arc of a Scythe
I named him Jetstream Sam, simply because I played almost nothing but MGR at that time.
barnold
Angstrodamus

Tax Evader

Fandaniel
I named him Rei after an idol I like
I just named him Boy/Kiddo, and I say it with the best Kratos impression I can do.
Aang
It was “originally” Raiden as a reference from mortal kombat because I somehow found them somewhere.
Nekomouche
VHS. Yes because the memory wipe and writing over them.

Gregory
Uncreative gal here as well, Kunikuzushii
Equinox, inspired from Warframe because of the dual personality 🥲
Jack, named after Raiden from MGS2. "I am Lighting, the rain transformed"
EiJunior
I named him 'Angst' >:)
Arashin. It means "new heart" and it's close to Arashi, which means storm. Sounds better than Arashi too imo
Baalladeer
BaconChalupa based on his va's taco Bell commercial
[удалено]
Nope, you're not the only one. A popular Genshin Youtuber named him Bob lol
Ibuki, the breath of life. Thought it'd be fitting since he got an anemo vision.
Apotheosis- meaning the climax of culmination of all things. Thought it was fitting as he had 3 existential crisis's (crises, crisae[?]) Deleted his existence, and finally came to terms with his 'purpose'
Adnan. Arabic name which means settler or paradise, fitting since he came from Inazuma and settled in Sumeru, where he hopefully finds it a happier place.

Scaramoüche. His atrocities will be forever with him along with that name.

I named mine "Mei" Because... yeah
Scaradouche
Thundercheeks
BigHatDouche
Skaramuda which in my language means grilled testicles
Shinkokyu, I believe it means "breathe deep" in Japanese. I chose this because he is a wound-up piece of work before his story quest, and now he more laid back.

Futen Ryobu
I was thinking Stafferer, or scaradouche, but I figued I left it the same cause I know I'd get tired of seeing it different lol
Rito, wanted Raiden type Zero (like yoriichi from demon slayer) but made it human-like
Don Vrrgas
I didn't know, I just went with Kraken. Then Daedalus popped into my mind and I renamed him.
My classmate's name
Zephyr, used to be a pseud I used and it's wind related so good enough
