Make sure you use a smart search and replace tool, though. I still remember many years later reading a story with a protagonist named Virginia, and then hitting a scene with a bunch of commentary about a character's "vaVirginia". It was memorable both for the "suddenly pornography" element of it and also the "ah, in an earlier draft of this story the protagonist's name used to be shortened to Gina!" realization.

OK so we know OP in the screenshot isn't named Jason or Tanaka. That narrows it down.
I've done this in some fanfics. I can't handle fics that make Harry Potter a girl and don't bother to change the name.
