sometimes the name of one of my villagers will change to the name of another villager. for example, i had a guy named Tutu, and i just checked on him and his name was changed to Tenai, which is the name of one of my females. that's the 3rd time this has happened. is this a bug?

Here's the neat thing - go into the details of the villager, click on their name and make hin/her any name you wish - gets you brining out a names book for babies.

I'm guessing a glitch. Haven't personally seen it happen (or at least didn't notice with 90 people running around) but doesn't mean it can't happen.

If you've noticed from the other postings there are glitches and LDW's team is working on fixes but as long as it's not messing up your games (which it sounds like it's not) probably not worth worrying about right now.

Glad you mentioned it though, that way LDW can look into it and find a "cure".

okay, i noticed something. i was looking through the list of villagers when my game stopped for a second while i was looking at a villager named Olu (it does that often. it just hangs up). next thing i know, the three villagers listed after him are now named Olu.
