[Feature] Spaces in given names/display name option

Mmm. Maybe.

But the issue is, as already mentioned, to avoid ambiguity between display names and full names.

One solution is the [Feature] Nickname / alias - #9 by Accipiter one. It doesn’t solve it perfectly, as it would require others to use that feature:

nickname Slow-Hours of the Ode clade = Slow Hours

In this case, I would tab-complete to “Slow Hours”, as nicknames will get priority in tab completion and matching.

But… the problem arise when someone creates a character named:
Name: Slow
Surname: Hours

Unless I let full-name take priority over nicknames, I will not be able to target “Slow Hours”.
This can be solved by also introducing some indicator to override nicknamed. Eg.:

w Slow Hours = Hi, miss skunk! ((Matching against alias))
w "Slow Hours" = This character is owned by someone else. ((Quotes clarifies it is a full name))

I don’t like using “quotes”, but since the ambiguous conflict situations should be very few, it is nothing that you will hardly ever have to use.
