What is the True Name in Dragon Quest 3?

The True Name is the Player's Real Name

In Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, you will be prompted to choose your 'true name' at the beginning of the game. This name is not intended to provide a name for the protagonist, but to learn the actual name of the player.

Your True Name Will Be Used in the Ending

The 'true name' you've given yourself will be used as a reference for the game's ending, so it is recommended that you use your actual name to increase the immersion of what the game can provide.

Can You Change Your True Name Later in the Game?

Your True Name Cannot Be Changed

The only instance where you can change your 'true name' is during the beginning where the game prompts you to provide a true name in addition to the month and date of your birth.

From there, your true name becomes permanent and can no longer be changed later in the game.
