How can I change my name in TF2 without having to change it in the Steam overlay?

Apparently, they removed the command setinfo name "your name" and it doesn't do anything anymore.

Is there another way to change your TF2 name while in-game?

Sorry, the Steam overlay is the only way you can change your in-game name. There just isn't any other way.

However, a while back, there WAS a way: Type "setinfo name (NAME)" in the console. This has however, been removed from the game and cannot be used.
