Has anyone else done this?

What i want: more din/maul fics

What i can't write: din :/

No hate but I was wondering why you spell it as 'Dyn' and not 'Din'?

lmao you're good, it's not the first time I've been asked this, and I've been writing our beloved tin can since s1 before we got a name for him - there was a period of time where everyone was guessing how to spell it once we did get a name bc the official spelling hadn't been released and wasn't for a while. 'Dyn' was the most popular version of his first name and I went with it because I thought it was dope and kept it after we got the official spelling. 'Din' just didn't feel right to me after that idk.

Din's first name isn't Djarin!!! Grogu is now just ✨️ Din Grogu Jr. ✨️

“You are as its father.” Songs for fellow orphans dadalorian and bby.

Has anyone ever read a fanfic that spelled a character's name differently and then you have to remind yourself that other people's interpretations exist

I'll give an example, therefore exposing what type of fanfiction I actually read:

Other fanfics: Din Djarin 😁👍

That one fanfic: Dyn Jarren 😈⛓️🔥

I love the writer but I will not stand for this.

PROOF

Naming in the Mandalorian (Season 3 Finale Spoilers!)

I find it absolutely hilarious how in the Mandalorian the main characters’ names KEEP CHANGING and the fandom KEEPS MESSING IT UP. Hold up, I’ll explain.

If you were on AO3 reading Mandalorian fanfiction DURING season 1 of the show, you would know all the Mandalorian fics had the Mandalorian’s name as “Dyn Jarren”. This is because Din Djarin’s name wasn’t revealed until the season finale, but Pedro Pascal said it in an interview months before. Nobody knew how to spell it, but most people agreed on “Dyn Jarren” for some reason. When the season finale finally revealed Mando’s name (or, more importantly, Disney+ subtitles revealed the proper spelling) all the fics had to go back and change it.

Between season 1 and season 2 of the Mandalorian, nobody knew Baby Yoda’s name. So, a lot of fics invented their own - usually having Din come up with a name. After season 2, Baby Yoda was finally revealed to be named Grogu and fics gradually changed to reflect that.

Between season 2 and season 3 of the Mandalorian, some people had Din more formally adopt Grogu and named him “Grogu Djarin”. I read several fics where Grogu was called that. And NOW with the “Din Grogu” reveal of the Season 3 finale, those are all wrong. Worst, it looks like “Din” was Din Djarin’s LAST name all along, making every fic where the romantic interest calls him “Din” look like idiots.

I hope the Mandalorian continues to fuck around with their names every season. This is glorious.

Fuck it! Since apparently we’ve never EVER called him by the right name:

Din as a last name brings me back memories of the season 1 finale when the correct spelling of Din Djarin was revealed and before that we used to write it as Dyn Jarren

so i keep thinking about the din djarin din grogu name thing okay and we have 3, maybe 4 options

1. Jon/Dave knew his name was djarin this whole time and thought it'd be funny to not correct us for three fucking seasons only to reveal it today

2. Jon/Dave decided on a whim to make his name djarin bc they like to fuck with us

3. Din's name is Din, and Grogu just has 2 first names for the time being until he passes apprentice stage then he'll take on the djarin family name?? but then he'd be Din Grogu Djarin and that's fuckin confusing and if that was the case why doesn't Din Djarin have 3 names too???

4. His name is actually just Djarin (I really don't want him to be called Djarin idk if you can tell) and Din is the family name and the reason no other mandos have the same name format (family name then first name) is because he's not a born and raised Mandalorian he was born on Aq vetina so he would've gotten his name there from his parents before they were 💀 OR his adopter/teacher named him and wherever they were from has that naming system

Honestly I just don't know if I can adjust to another Mando name change again lmaooo thanks for listening bye bye :D

i love your theories! i think its either 2 or preferably 3 😂 i can't handle another name change and i refuse to think of him as djarin lol

this brings me back to the whole 'dyn jarren' debacle (iykyk) but at least we have the spelling right this time!

No one followed the theme apparently...

It was so on brand for Pedro to accidentally reveal Din’s name and then fail to say anything about fans spelling it incorrectly for 1.5 months

Maybe it was the rugged bounty-hunting outfit, the scrappy way she’d fought him for the knife, or the Jedi thing, but the woman standing in front of him wasn’t how Din had pictured the Princess of Alderaan.

Absolutely sweet and delightful!

remember when we all thought din djarin's name was dyn jarren. hm. simpler times.

how did people spell din's name before it was officially revealed again? dyn jarren or something? love that
