Like with all DQ games, there's no official name.

The Luminary!

Eleven is used in some sources.

I usually name him something similar (and funny) to his grandfather. Like Rabioli or something.

Jeff

The Luminary.

I do not believe Hero 11/The Luminary has a canon name, and I believe when naming him any names used by existing characters get denied, but the game otherwise permits just about anything.

There is a small scene added in the S versions, showing the protags parents naming the protagonist. The father normally tries to suggest Erdrick, before the mom goes with the name you selected. If you named him Erdrick though, the dad instead suggests Rickerd (which is just Erdrick with the syllables swapped) before the same thing happens, mom decides on the name you went with.

The first restriction was only present in the OG, the DE eliminated it.

As for that scene, in Japanese, it's Ton Nura, or Nura Ton, if you actually named yourself that

There's another conversation in Last Bastion after defeating the boss at Heliodor castle where the woman raising the orphaned baby decides to name him "<player name> Erdrick"

So I think the Luminary is implied to be the reincarnation of the legendary DQ hero Erdrick. But... Hendrick is also repeatedly called "the Hero" so maybe he's actually a reincarnation of Erdrick and the Luminary is something else entirely.

That's a result of an unfortunate translation issue where there's no good English term that differentiates "yuusha" and "eiyuu".

I just named him "Trunks" :P

Also I'm already hating the translated names...
The only one that seems to remain intact is Veronica...

Isn't "achoo" the bad guy from Samurai Jack?

He even looks like Trunks had he kept the long hair, to be honest. And yes, we know it's done on purpose.
