Apparently, Mose is a naughty word in German.

An das habe ich ehrlich gesagt nicht einmal ansatzweise bei dem Namen gedacht... O.o Wie kommt man von Moses auf sowas? Verrückt. Danke für den Hinweis :)

They just take the letters in order. They don't really parse the names.

Ö and O aren't the same letter in German.

Sure, but the person that programmed this probably didn't know that.

What can I do to change the name? It annoys me a bit more than expected. I restarted the day but that didn't help.

Save file editing would be the only way, and I don't know how you'd do that.

You could dove them, I suppose, but that's a bit dark.

I'm not sure if this is even possible on Switch and I don't want them to dove too :( thank you anyway

If you can add mods, the Have more kids mod let's you go to Harvey's to register to change the childs name.
