Name

Name refers in Magic: The Gathering to the name of a card or token. It is one of the characteristics of an object. 
==Description==
Most objects have names. Cards come with names printed on them. Tokens may be named by the effect that creates them. If the effect does not specify a name, the name of the token is its subtype(s) followed by the word "Token". This ensures tokens have different names than cards. For example a "Blood Token" does not have the same name as "Blood", one of the names of the card <c>Flesh // Blood</c>. Emblems (except <c>The Ring</c>) and abilities don't have names.
The name of a card is positioned in the title bar at the top left corner of the card and is its primary method of identification. Each English card name is unique, though some other languages have used the same name for multiple cards. Also, translated cards with super-long names have been typeset using a different font — either the normal font compressed, or an actual smaller point size. Because of language issues, Creative tries not to change the gender when reprinting a card with new art.
A small subset of cards refers to other cards by name in the rules text. When they do, modern card text templating uses phrases like "creatures named XYZ" instead of "XYZ creatures" or "an XYZ", to avoid confusion with the more common abilities that refer to subtypes.
===Skinned cards===
Skinned cards were first featured in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths with a Godzilla theme. The name of the original card is featured in a small font below the Outside IP name of the card in the title bar. This alternate name in the title bar is considered flavor text and has no effect on game play. Rules text may reference the original name in the secondary title bar, or the skin name.
===Interchangeable names===
Interchangeable names were introduced in response to a player backlash over the release of mechanically unique cards in Secret Lair Drop Series: The Walking Dead. In order to reprint Universes Beyond cards without continuing access to the original IP rights Wizards of the Coast modified the rules for cards names to allow two different English language names to be considered the same name. This is indicated in the information below the text box. For all play purposes, cards with interchangeable names are considered the same card players may only use a maximum of four copies across all versions in their constructed decks. Cards with interchangeable names are restricted to only the Universes Within versions of cards.

==Trivia==
*The Acorn card allows you to create copies of a card with a random non-land Magic card name.
*The Mystery Booster 2 test card <c>Omnipresent Impostor</c> has the names of all cards, including the back faces of double-faced cards. 
**Notably, it doesn't have the names of tokens, such as Zombie Token, Blood Token, and similar.
