+# Story 277: Matrix bot uses its configured name instead of "Claude"
+
+## User Story
+
+As a Matrix user, I want the bot to identify itself by its configured name (e.g., "Timmy") rather than "Claude", so that the bot feels like a distinct personality in the chat.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] The Matrix bot refers to itself by its configured display name (e.g., 'Timmy') in conversations, not 'Claude'
+- [ ] The bot's self-referencing name is derived from configuration, not hardcoded
+- [ ] If no custom name is configured, the bot falls back to a sensible default
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
