Is there any way possible I can change my name without hacks?
I was thinking I could I delete my character and bring a new one in, but i don't know how that works and I wouldn't know if the new character would be mayor or not ..
Nope, as far as I know, without hacks you can't change your name. I might be wrong and there's a glitch that lets you do it? But I'm pretty sure there isn't.
The only way is to reset. Is your name really that bad? Lol
Yeah if you only want a mayor's name change, then just have the villagers call you by a nickname. A town change name can't be done without hax, unfortunately, and I hope it can be a feature in the next AC game.
Pretty sure that there's no other way like everyone else has said. ( actually didn't even know hacking to change your name was a thing (then again, I know little to nothing when it comes to hacks). I understand the feel of wanting to change your name though haha. I made my town over 4 years ago and just named my mayor my own name, but since coming back to my game again this summer, I've starting developing my town a lot in terms of lore. head canons etc and see my mayor as one of my characters rather than myself. Wasn't much I could do but I figured that I'd get all of my villagers to call my mayor the new name I wanted. My head canon here is that the name she goes by atm (her nickname) is her middle name, which I think works since many people irl go by their middle names as well.
