This sounds like fun. Though my chances are probably limited since my name uses the letter "å". Or maybe they will like it and make me as a immigrant bum. Sweet!

Done, done and done! It's a chance in a million really, but it would be seriously cool. Good luck everybody!

If I get picked, they'd better ask how it's pronounced if they're planning to have someone say it, because I don't want to hear it getting mangled because of the "oe" in it.

My name is Borno. It's not very American. But it is pretty rare; almost unique. But I have heard of this one other guy. Who I do NOT intend to Kill....AT ALL....>:)

Do you think they'll take Unique funny sounding names? Maybe like for a racial stereotype? I'm down with that :p

Really cool contest. Too bad I have eastern European name so it sounds weird in english. Oh well, the hope dies the last.

I have a friend who doesn't need to enter this competition, as his name is actually Andrew Ryan.

I guess they probably won't pick him.

I may have a slightly better chance than most since my surname is quite uncommon. This is assuming the stff pick the one they like best rather than drawing it out of a hat.

edit: Clicking the link makes it seem asif it is a lucky dip :(

A name doesn't get much more American than Joshua Jones. XD
That sounds like the name of a cowboy or a mountain man during the pioneer days. All you need is some sort of nickname between the two referring to the use of weapons of something else intimidating.

OT: that's actually a pretty neat contest. Good way to come up with more names and connect with your fan base all at once.

Well, I'm pretty sure most English-speakers wouldn't pronounce my name correctly, but screw it. Maybe they decide they want to name something so that people couldn't pronounce it. I want mah chance at being in a game!!!!!
So yeah, I'll give it a try.

...But what happens when the game sucks? "I got my name immortalized in this piece of shit!" That'll be good :)

My name actually was in Bioshock 2, on the cans of canned fruit. Anyone remember what the name was?

Now this is a contest I can really get behind, a nice way of promoting their video game without any actual cost of a 'prize'. Well done :)

This is the part where not having an english name really comes against you..

I have letters in my name that does not exist in the english alphabet..

So i wont even bother submitting seeing as there is no chance in hell im gonna get picked.
You could try entering it phonetically, it might look weird but then something a little unique might catch their notice.
i tried looking for phonetical dictionary that could do norwegian names, the letter Ø to be specific.. Could not find..
That would be "oe". At least I think it is.

I have nothing to lose by entering. Heck, I never even use my Twitter so I may as well broadcast it on there for 2 entries. Let's see if we get a Hunter's Sex Emporium in it.
