Name Change?

[XenotronV4]

Did they change the name of the less lethal pyromancer? or does it just change partway through the game? I could have sworn it was Bori Kesh, but now, in the mission The B Team it's Bori Castra?
Did I just read it too fast before or something?

Given the far more critical errors in some of the ability descriptions, this is likely just an oversight.

However, I entertain the headcanon that, just like nobody calls Jen "Jennifer" or Liv "Olivia", Kesh is short for Castra (give or take some dialect).

Somebody on Reddit jokingly suggests that Bori's divorce isn't acknowledged in Kalan and thus still goes by the spouse's name there.

hahaha, that's pretty amusing

I didn't even notice this.

One of the last patches standardized it to Kesh, seemed like they slightly committed to a name change but not all the way, and now we're all back to Kesh.

I am not very familiar with how english and english-adjacent names work and this got me wondering, what would Vesker and Banks' full names be?

I'm thinking Zan and Odessa.

Wiktionary suggests that Zan is a clipping of Susanne, but I doubt that's it.

If we're assuming these are nicknames for names in our world, and it's a common English one, I'd assume it's Alexander.
