The question is, why would Frisk's stats have Chara's name on them? Solutions could be: Those are nice alternative explanations-Ways that Frisk's stats could have Chara's name, and where the HUD is attuned to Frisk, and not Chara. Which is exactly what every law is telling us should be the case.
 * They share stats. This breaks down for LOVE, but since it seems to corrupt Chara just as much as it does Frisk, it might still work.
 * Chara provides the menu, and asks Frisk for their stats the same way they ask monsters for theirs. But why do they put their name on the menu?
 * They want to assert their presence.
 * They are confused by how to present the information. It might have blank boxes for NAME, AT, DF, HP, G, and they put theirs in NAME.
 * Frisk provides the menu... and somehow knows Chara's name.

Well, at least they seem that way. And some of them are. But others.. I believe to be incorrect.

Frisk has the determination, not Chara. Frisk is the one making the options, not Chara. And these are Frisk's stats. So everything is telling us the HUD should be attuned to Frisk.

Everything except for the name.

The first claim does contain an assumption that we'll have to test. We'll have to actually see if there's evidence that Chara is corrupted by us.. Rather than just corrupted from the start. If Chara does share LV, they would have to be like this.

But they had the capacity to hurt all the humans that attacked. And the will to do it. Why doesn't that already push them beyond LV1?

I still think it breaks down at LOVE. Which is why I ruled it out.

The player enters in the name of the fallen human. And Chara claims to be the demon who comes when someone calls their name.

Perhaps Frisk did call out the name of Chara at the start of the game.

But I don't see why they'd make Chara's name the name of the HUD.

Chara's name also doesn't only appear on the menu. Chara's name also appears on the battle screen. Right next to the LV. But it's missing during Flowey's tutorial.

The name of the HUD doesn't change after Frisk's name is revealed. Even though Chara knows Frisk's name at that point. While this could be an oversight, or just plain non-canon, as this was never mentioned, I'm not sure what to do with this information.
