How to change names?

[FactionHeir]

Did you try to make sure to exactly keep the format? The children have to be in age order iirc, and the tabs may have some bearing, not sure.

Yup. Just changed the name itself.
I.e. for HRE i named the kid "Heinrich" instead of "Henry"
Tried a few other names too but to no avail. Same for the wife of the king.

One quick question: I want to correct some of the names for the HRE (most of them aren't even names and lots of them are misspelled) - so to fix e.g. "Gottfied", (which lacks an r), I plan to just go into names.txt and change the line {Gottfied}Gottfied to {Gottfied}Gottfried - would that work or do I have to mess around with the other files as well?

Also, would changing names that way cause conflicts with characters existing in the beginning of the game (like I change {Henry}Henry to {Henry}Heinrich)?
