# Names

The Player Names system in LootLocker provides a flexible way to assign and manage player profile names within your game. Names can be set by the players themselves or automatically assigned based on the platform they are playing on. For platforms like Steam or PlayStation, where players already have an existing name, LootLocker will automatically attach the name to the player when a session begins.

If your game allows players to set their own names, you can enable a unique name restriction to ensure that each player has a distinct identity. Additionally, player names can be updated directly through the web console, offering convenient management options for game administrators.

### Use Cases

* Display player’s platform name in-game

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lootlocker.com/players/names.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
