Reminds me of what Konami did where you could sign up for a chance of your name and profile appearing on a dogtag in a Metal Gear Solid game.

Wow, it would be cool to get picked. From what it sounds like there may even be more than one winner. Depends what the creators feel like I suppose. Good luck to everyone. XD

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.
My name is chalk full of non-English letters and I entered. Who knows, maybe they'll pick the most unique ones.

well with the twitter thing I think it is just random what name they pick but I hope it is my name because it is 1 part German 1 part Irish and with the middle part it makes KOM.

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..
"Ø" would be "OE". ""Æ" is "AE" and "Å" is simply "AA"

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.
and now I want to know his reaction to the first game.

Submitted, but I dunno how valuable the name 'Sjors' is. Perhaps I shoulda entered my phonetic name...

Though George is pretty common. -_-

Yeah i know this.. But i thought writing phonetical was writing how it was pronounced.. like in the dictionary after the word it is written in weird letters how you say it..

I'm not sure a Welsh name would work in the context of Columbia, but I've entered it anyway.

I wonder if Columbia has any immigrants in it. I've got a list here of friends with awesome names.
From what I understand of the story so far, the Columbia treats immigrants like how Rapture treats 'parasites'.
