This is priceless!

The shitty person ends up with Daphne written all over them like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar

Hell of a lot faster than going through the courthouse for a name change. Probably cheaper and more effective too.

And that's how you know you're in the forkin' Good Place

I'd go back to college to study apellomancy in a heartbeat.

Fun fact, in a Campaign I'm playing, my Fey Bard simply "stole" the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it's awesome for everyone 😄

The classic: "May I have your name?" blunder

We need this

Had to check that this wasn't written by Joss Lake as this seems like a device/power from his novel Future Feeling

I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they're about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it's very Cointidental magic.
