Because it would violate the recipient's other DNW of anachronisms to call a female character by their first name in that context? Having them know a female OC well enough to call them by their first name would require a lot of focus on that OC and would very obviously be a bad gift. I don't get why you are reading everything in such bad faith.

After a busy weekend and stressful workday this is the wank I deserve and I’m loving it.

Absolutely. You deserve stakesless silliness and I am glad you have it.

Why does the tavern keeper have to be female? Why do they know the tavern keeper enough to know her name in the first place? Why is that necessary for the fic, if it's just a walk-on character? Is this really information that the readers need?

Like, I'm not trying to read this in bad faith, but all of those seem like arbitrary, completely unnecessary and also potentially unwanted writing choices. I'm imagining that this was a gift for me, and I'd be so confused why Mrs X had to be Mrs X rather than a random tavern keeping who brought out the ale and disappeared again so I count read about my requested characters instead.
