How can I rename my characters?

I've noticed that people are able to give their characters custom names, but I haven't been able to find any method to do so in-game. Do I need to unlock it, or is there something I'm missing?


In the Rogue Legacy/Content folder, there are two files, HeroNames.txt and HeroineNames.txt. You can edit these so that the names generated for your characters are whatever you wish, up to 8 letters long.
