I'm planning on changing my character to a male in a few days, and so unsurprisingly I'll be looking to get a name change token while at it.

There is something I have been wondering, and was hoping the community could help me out.

When it comes to names such as "Thor the Strong", is the word "the" written with an upper case "T" or a lower case "t"?

I care about having an accurate name, so was hoping the community could help me out here.

    Lower case is typically what you see on NPCs both in ESO and TES single player games

    I have a Reguard lady named "Ma'at the Just". Lowercase on the the sound better to me imo but really its up to you, since I've seen characters done both ways. ^-^

    Just do what feels best to you especially since you are spending irl money on it. OwO

    You know what? Forget the name change. I'm just going to roll a new character.

    I regret skipping dialogue anyway.

    This time, I stick with the character. :)

    I agree that lower case is technically correct, but also agree that you should choose whatever looks best to you.

    Thankfully ESO gives you that choice, unlike some games which force a capital letter at the start of each word.
