Late in chapter 2, he tells the systems analyst Beryl, who has been the Loroi most interested in learning about him and humanity in general and who the story has given a fair amount of ShipTease with Jardin, that she can call him Alex.

This is significant because HP considers "Kokoro" an EmbarrassingFirstName and generally prefers to go by Heartful Punch, or HP for short. Even members of HP's training club don't call her Kokoro, describing it as the "Forbidden Name", treating it like a BerserkButton, and being surprised she's okay with Undine's use of it.
