If you're referring to military dwarves losing their nicknames when they kill stuff, the solution is easy: assign their nicknames in-game instead of using Dwarf Therapist. Lots of utilities have the ability to assign nicknames and custom professions, but they don't actually work properly and disappear once the dwarf gains a special name from killing a member of another civilization.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
