The... (naming suggestion)

Currently I have two characters that use 'The' as part of their name, yet virtually no in game system uses it. And the names mean less without the 'The' being used.

Please adjust $name / $target, plus the various contact dialogs (and cutscene dialogs) to use it.

I'd imagine because it'll make some dialogue silly.

Whilst, "Oh no! It's THE HERO! Run!" would work, simple greetings would sound stilted, "Good Afternoon, THE HERO. How are you today, THE HERO."

I'd only support this, if they could alter the dialogue so that it dropped the THE whenever a more casual approach is due: "Afternoon, HERO." or "How are you today, HERO?".

Everybody calls me Imoba Strife... everybody.

"Can't you drop the Strife part? We're being informal here, just call me Imoba."

"Why would I do that Imoba Strife? Your name is Imoba Strife, Imoba Strife. So I think I should call you Imoba Strife. Don't you think, Imoba Strife?"

ATM when someone (NPC) calls my character Clause it just looks like Claws was taken. Yet the character is named The Clause for a reason (being a lawyer who needed to be rescued from some Devouring Earth who vowed never to be a victim again). When an NPC goes go off and kill me some mobs Clause it looks wrong.

Other games, I remember the action but not the title, allowed you to pick various nick names as well as the name you used, for instance if you were some sort of neuter gender you could pick hir and shir (or whatever) instead of His and She etc.

I think in this context you should be allowed to have 'The' as part of your name if you type it out and have it as an appellation if you pick it from the selection box. Yes you could end up with The The Hero, but if that's what you want I don't see why not.

as it is i have a charichter named The.Enchained i can totaly agree with this suggestion having it so that the "the" was actually used would be nice.

I thoroughly support this suggestion. I'm tired of having to wait till level 15 to get the name to display correctly above me but all in game references to my characters always drop the 'The'. A shame.

You know you can pick "The" as a title when you make your character, right?

Yes but as stated, it doesn't display correctly. No-one uses it in game correctly when using the $name tag plus it doesn't display on the character selection screen, the team window or even when viewed through my second account. It's the inconsistency that bugs me.
