[solved] 2 entered names?

[The King]

I don't know if this has been asked already, but I was wondering if it's possible to have a player enter 2 separate names. I was thinking of having a player enter one name, and then have them enter a nickname. So here's what I tried, the dots in between representing some lines of dialogue in between.

$ name = renpy.input("What is your name?")
$ name = name.strip()
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................
$ player_name = renpy.input("What is your nickname?")
$ player_name = name.strip()

The code located below is what I used for the related characters.

define i = Character('[name]')
define mc = Character('[player_name]')

The problem is, the game seems to only recognize the first name entered, even when using the approprite character in dialogue. For example:

i "My name is [name]."
mc "but you can call me [player_name]."

Is it even possible to add multiple nicknames? If so, how could I do that? Thank you.

Your problem is with the line

$ player_name = name.strip()

it should be

$ player_name = player_name.strip()

Okay, I seems like I got it to work now. Thank you for your help.
