repeatedprayerCopy Rezo doesn't actually have a name in the series. He's generally referred to in official out of universe materials (such as author interviews) as Copy Rezo for convenience's sake, and he has a fandom nickname of Kopii or Copii. When he's asked in the show what name he wants on his gravestone, Copy Rezo simply says he doesn't want a gravestone at all.
Because of all this, I generally refer to him in narration as simply "the copy" as a way of underlining his existence as a nameless tool.
For assumed CR situations we can discuss beforehand how your character might refer to him/think of him, whether they'd know he was a copy and if he'd give them an alias, or if they'd come up with their own name for him. (He probably would not accept variations on Rezo or Copy.)
If coming up with something is a pain/you're in a hurry, I personally like the name Rue for him, and I also headcanon he'd initially introduce himself as Grey (derived from Rezo's surname, Greywords) if he was in a situation where he needed a quick alias.
