The Name Tag allows a player to give an item of their choosing a permanent custom name. As it is a tool, it can only be used once. If a stock item is renamed (40 characters or less), the player will "find" a new version of the stock item which resides in the backpack like an unlock item. The player can then choose to equip the item with either the custom or the original name through the character setup menu. However, if any item found through the drop system is renamed, it will overwrite the original name, and will not create a version with the original name. Renaming an item does not affect its ability to be traded.
Name tags can drop randomly, be found in crates, or be purchased from the store.
Trading Scam
It is important to note that items can be renamed in a way that makes them appear to be rare items such as a "Community Backburner" or an "Unusual Soldier's Stash". Be aware that con artists may attempt to trade these renamed common items for multiple hats or other rare items. Named items have quotation marks around the name, and the name will not be not colored correctly for the item type (see Rarity for a list of colors that are used for actual rare items).
