To rename a character, erase the current name by pressing B repeatedly. Move the cursor to a character and press C to enter the character. When finished, move the highlighter to End and press C. Press B to exit the screen. To reset the name, press B until all characters of the name disappear, then press B again.

The character can move anywhere on the highlighted grid, or everywhere in the M-Menu if that option is selected. Move the character to a location on the grid and press B to move. Hold down L-Trigger + R-Trigger to speed up movement.
