More than a decade after the original release ofSkyrim, a player known as It_is_really_me on Reddit found out about a feature allowing them to change the name of an item. They immediately put this discovery to good use, renaming their Stalhrim mace from theSkyrim DragonbornDLCinto Burny Sanders, a pun using American politician Bernie Sanders’ name and referencing the weapon’s ability to burn their target.
In the comments to this Reddit post, several otherSkyrimplayers were baffled to learn they could rename their gear. Other Reddit users shared the nickname they gave some of their equipment, such as Neck Slits and Chill for a frost dagger or Soul Goodman for a soul trap. Linxdev shared auseful tip with fellowSkyrimplayers, suggesting they add a space as the first letter of their renamed items to make them appear first in their bags.
Players can rename items without using any mod or console command by opening theEnchanting menu inSkyrim. Upon selecting an item, the option to rename it appears at the bottom of the screen, next to the button to exit the menu or craft the item. The default command on PC is F, which will open the window to input a new name for the enchanted item. Once the desired item has been enchanted, there is no way to change its name, so players should choose it carefully.
