I know it has been brought up a couple of times, but please DB, change that name. Otherwise you could call Mademoiselle de Neuf Resistance Seven or Katrine WWII Janeway or something. One could argue that those are holodeck characters while Anjohl is just a secret identity, but you didn’t call the Gabriel Bell version of Sisko Gabriel Bell Sisko, even though he was merely impersonating Bell. Or how about Locutus of Borg Picard?
To that point I’d request a few other name changes:
Captain Proton Paris to just Captain Proton
Buster Kincaid Kim to just Buster Kincaid
Arachnia Janeway to either just Arachnia or Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People
Dixon Hill Picard to just Dixon Hill
And so on, I’m probably forgetting some. Or do it the other way around and rename for example Anastasia Komananov to Anastasia Komananov Kira, Duchamps to Duchamps Worf and so on. I think you see my point.
What does the community think?

I could not care much less, honestly. My feeling is that as long as they sort properly, they can call them whatever they want.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Well to be fair he is both in a way
Actually he's Detective Dixon Hill.
And then you've got Tommy Gun Dixon.
Picard also has the Galen alias, with no mention of his name.
Personal note - sometimes I forget all about them because I simply search for the name Picard, and NONE of those come up. So perhaps...
EDIT: In defense of DB, regarding the main focus of this thread, there was Klingon Dukat, there was Dominion Dukat, and there was Pah-Wraith Dukat. At least they're being internally consistent.
Do you seriously have Princess Jadzia on ice? She's still in my top 4 base SCI, and she's Jadzia!
Tip: It's always best to search "trill" to find all the bonus crew in Dax events.

I keep trying to tell people that. I don't think they're getting it.
Of course, this only works because of the quality work by the players that maintain the wiki - so thank you to those players!

When I search for Picard, Robin Hood does not come up because DB called him “Robin Hood” instead of “Robin Hood Picard”. There are dozens of characters like that in the game.

*Agent Janeway has been a source of confusion. Section 31 Janeway would more explicitly signal that this is a non-canon persona wholly separate from Katrine.
**Ileana Ghemor is even more curious because the game text from those events ("Second Skin" and "Second Skin 2") appear to indicate that those events include the real Ileana Ghemor, not Kira involuntarily disguised as her.
***Falcon first appeared in "Our Man Bashir", but then later we saw O'Brien himself role play the character. By moving to a system that just uses the name of the persona, it doesn't matter whether this is the "real" Falcon or O'Brien playing as him. The only thing that would distinguish the two is whether or not Falcon had the Hologram trait (as O'Brien roleplaying as Falcon obviously is not a hologram).
Unless they are adding a hidden searchable field 90% of these name changes are frankly a bad idea. Making Prospero Data into Prospero for exmaple makes him unsearchable as Data. Also as a point of fact he was Prospero Data or Data Prospero but he certainly was not Propsero.
The only one on the list I'd actively campaign for is Nuclear Wessel Chekov.
The best one!
First, the attributes. The Picard/Hill character is shown to be part of the Federation and Starfleet. Neither existed when the fictional character Hill would have lived. (Yes, I get the irony of a being who is fictional in the minds of fictional characters. And now my head hurts.)
Second, come the recipe items, like model starships. They are more suggestive of Picard, but single-malt whiskey leans more toward Dixon Hill.
Thirdly, are the mission bonuses. Any version of Picard will give bonuses in this event, and if you select Dixon Hill for your shuttle mission, you get the Picard bonus. With that in mind, Dixon Hill is not listed as one who provides a crew bonus, but Picard is.
Finally, there is the dialogue in every event where Dixon Hill is featured. Picard would perhaps talk in the way he does, but only if he knew he were onstage or in the holodeck. The disappearance of Lwaxana Troi, a person Picard views as real, would be far more serious to him than a holodeck mystery. One would expect him to immediately step out of character and focus on ship’s business. Hill acts as though this were another case to be solved, and in a dispassionate way.
I know I have given this way too much thought. Does anyone have anyone have any clarifying thoughts. Is my 4* character actually Dixon Hill or Picard role-playing? No wonder Q finds this temporal situation exhausting.
I think Picard would sip a dram just as readily as Dixon, in or out of the holodeck.
Omnipotent beings don't get exhausted. But they can be amused.
