Did you rename any of your characters? If so what did you decide on?
I'm big on my backstory of all my characters and I like to have all mine tied together somehow (mostly through mid-late roman history figures). I still haven't decided on new names or who I would change currently.

Remember to have fun because at the end of the day that's what this whole gaming thing is about.
I've renamed a couple .. I sorted a weird surname on one Orc, and when I changed from a Dunmer to a Breton I felt it was probably best to change his name from being a Telvanni!
I want to test my current characters race passives in live PVP situations and see what the difference really is before making a choice to change races of my characters. I have already see the statistical differences through characters builders, but on paper sometimes does not translate into something noticeable in game for me.
I will say the stats from Dark elf looks really good so far.
Hmm. Thanks for the reminder. I might do a very minor change to one of my character's names to be consistent with how I spell his name these days. Though I'm not sure it's really worth doing it for a swap of one vowel. I mean, if I wasn't going to pay for such a minor change, why use a free token either?

Changed a Stamblade Bosmer to a Nord, with a name change. Other than that, nope. Might change one of my PCEU characters because they have the same name as my PCNA main, and that causes all kinds of issues with my addons. But otherwise, I'm pretty happy at the moment.

After reading responses I feel to be in the same category as most...I like my chosen names so its hard to make the change. I'll probably just bank them for a while.

I'm going to rename one toon that started off as a bit of a mess around but is now one of my favourite alts (stam sorc WW).
Current name is Captain Bumblefun. His name will be changed to literally anything else.
I take it you got tired of the possibilites of being called fumblebum? I'm also planning a namechange on an experimental alt that ended up becoming fun to play. The spur of the moment name, that seemed fun at the time, ends up requiring a translation and explanation every time I meet a new guildie
I was tempted to change my Bosmer to a Dunmer and then name change to a fitting name, but I kind of like the fact my wereworlf character is a Bosmer, it feels more "right" to me.

None renamed the only character that I race swapped was my first character which has the same name as my account and gamer tag but the rest of my characters have lore appropriate names to their races.
I might rename a character (actually just fixing the spelling), but my XB shut down overnight with 85% left to download, so had to start it again this morning to finish it.
Took over 6 hours to get to 85% (started it around 7:30pm) and so missed out on my event tickets yesterday.
Two of my toons got married in my head so I hyphenated her name with my main, now they are joined for life. I find it weirdly satisfying, it makes my head canon real ish. I don’t know maybe I’m just a weirdo.
I race changed my high elf healer to Breton I was going to do it anyways at some point cause I messed the character up while in creation and only noticed when I got to cp160 I also used a name change since a High Elf named Tetra Galerion wouldn't be a lore friendly Breton name.

I also play on PC from time to time but I just wanna be left alone on there so sorry.
I already bought one name change token before, to rename my very first character cause I never liked his name (all names which I wanted were already taken when I was creating him, and I just wanted to start playing so I gave him some weird random name)... I haven't used that token yet And when we were given 3 more free tokens, I decided I also want to rename my other old character - I haven't decided the new name though, so all those tokens remain unused so far.
I’m considering changing my Redguard DK to either Khajiit or Dunmer, so I can try mag dk without creating a new character, and a name change would be a part of that.
Now that my swamp thing of a female Dunmer is an easy-on-the-eyes chap, he's refiled for an appropriate name. When my Argonian lost her soul, she regained her hyphens. She feels better now, even though she's got weeks of questing before her soul returns.
changed my argonian warden healer name. Was Restorer-of-the-green. boring nerd name. Now it's Delves-with-You. i like it a lot more!
also name changed my race changed high elf - > khajiit from Fason Charmlock (made it 2 years ago and never liked it) to a more lore fitting name of Dra'Zaali.
I renamed a Warden tank, who used to be a female Brenton and is now a male Argonian, to "Tanks Both Ways" to cover both the gender transition and reflect the use of both magica and stamina.
BTW incase anyone else didn't realise the race change tokens also function as appearance change - you don't actually have to change your race when you use them. Before I found that out I thought they'd be completely useless to me. Now I might use them eventually to tweak the appearance on some characters, although even then it will be relatively minor changes - like making my dunmer look a bit older.
I'm not planning to use the name change tokens. Well, I have one character where the name I first tried was taken so I added a letter and I might check periodically to see if that's available, but I also like it how it is so it doesn't worry me if I can't change it.
