Edit name button missing in 2.1

ancient_scars:
Is this intended?

1. I really like the option to edit character names as it makes me more concientious towards my soldiers. It's just that bit harder for me to send my wife or brother off as cannon fodder than Al Hadr Mujhed, Brian Westgate or whatever their names are.

2. It's also way easier for me to remember the characters and what they're good at that way. I'm not very good with names and it's a tactic I've used since X-Com.

P.S Hats off for an excellent game. I'm absolutely thrilled to see the little bits of storyline implemented in 2.1. I can't wait to get the whole shebang. Keep up the good work. :)

Baron Crass:
I agree wholeheartedly with you, scars. One of the first things I ALWAYS do in Xcom is change the names...typically to friends of mine, sometimes to a bizarre collection of celebrities...whatever. Anything to make the characters a little more memorable for me personally.

Wanderer:
I always liked names like "Fodder 1", "Grenade Bait", and "Elite Sniper 1" :)

Baron Crass:
Yeah, that can also be disturbingly entertaining.

Voller:
@Wanderer: I think you mean "Fooder 1", it's "Cannon Fooder" ;)
