In order to better track my military, I've given each of them a custom profession (to indicate their squad) and nickname (to indicate position within said squad). For some odd reason, though, when one of them scores a kill, the nickname will sometimes disappear. In most circumstances, nicknames seem to vanish during melee kills (e.g. from my hammerdwarves), while my marksdwarves don't seem to get this as frequently.

[EDIT] Version was actually straight 40d, not 40d11

Also, I rather highly suspect that Dwarf Manager is the culprit here, so this can probably be safely ignored.

thanks for posting this. I might've been very confused later, because I've given my dwarves nicknames so that I can identify their weapon type when shuffling squads about.

Recently I have been generating this exact problem. When ever a melee attack from a custom named dwarf scores a kill the custom name gets removed. I use dwarf therapist but even on the game where I never used dwarf therapist the problem persists.

In all likelihood, the way Dwarf Manager and Dwarf Therapist assign nicknames to dwarves isn't doing it "properly", resulting in their nicknames going away once they gain an extra name from their kills.
