DCI Name listed as a silly name

DCI Name listed as a silly name

A player at one of the local tournaments was playing and his DCI name was entered as something along the lines of Cottoncandy Sunshine. When I came over and inquired about it they told me “Yeah, but my actual name is Jonathan.” I was looking around and couldn't find a definitive path of action (if there is even one needed) that I should follow regarding the name, as I felt as though it would be hard to keep track of the person if they had multiple DCI numbers. Any help? Thanks!

DCI Name listed as a silly name

Ah, the fun times I had calling for player Clearly Excellent from the
stage and the riotous investigation that followed.

The nice gentleman had decided to get a new DCI number since he was
already on a suspension under his real name.

But, that was not the reason I called him to the stage. He was just
the type of person to get DQed over and over again.

Generally, I don't involve myself in the DCI's administration of
names, records, etc. unless something otherwise fishy is going on.
It's just too much of a mess to approach everyone whose name you think
might not be legit. We actually have a Jace who plays in our local
tournaments and he is emphatic that WotC should have asked his
permission before using his name. The whole thing can get VERY awkward
with foreign names.

More importantly, anything that does not affect the integrity of the
tournament is a TO issue, not a Judge issue.
