Namingway

Namingway is a recurring non-player character in the Final Fantasy series. An odd creature, it always lets the player change the name of something.

Final Fantasy IV
Namingway is a Hummingway, and he appears in various towns around the world, often in the Training Rooms, and in the end even on the Red Moon in a cave full of Hummingways, which is where he originally came from. His purpose is to offer to change the names of various characters throughout the game. Characters can have their names changed multiple times. However, in the Nintendo DS remake, because of the voice-acting, Namingway can no longer change your characters' names. Instead, he changes his own according to his occupations as he travels around the world, such as "Mappingway", "Campingway" and "Weddingway". Following him and engaging in his sidequests nets numerous rewards.

Final Fantasy IX
Namingway appears on a Tetra Master card. The card can be shown to a man in Daguerreo and he will offer to change the name of one of your characters. It is arguably the rarest card in the game after Ozma, with only two copies of it available to the player. One is in Kuja's room in the Desert Palace (near the teleporter, only after Eiko has been kidnapped. The other is in Treno, during the card tournament. When the player is in control of Vivi, you are given the option of 'going home', or staying in Treno. Choosing the latter will give you a different opponent in the second round, who holds a Namingway card.
