Let players pick names without extra work?

07 May 2017, 16:16I'm making a gamebook and I want to make it to where players can pick one of the ready-made names that I provide for them. That part is simple, but is there a way that allows them to select one of the names and it stick throughout the whole story without me having to copy and paste each part of the story to change each name?

to the name, then in strings use.
'Hi, {player.alias},' says the guy.
