How have you abused the ability to name your main character in a game before

[IcyEvils]

Pokemon names include: Vaseline, lube etc.

"He's weak! Go, vaseline!"

 

[MK Tha Rebel]

In most games where I can name the character, I either go with "You Assclown," or "Michael Cole." The thought of someone being saved by this guy, of all people is pretty funny.

Spoiler: THIS guy saved the princess?!

 

[EvmansRiggers]

In Mass Effect my main character is called Dongs Shepard :O

 

[J-Alfred]

I'm lame and clean-minded, so all I've ever done is named my party in Golden Sun after bosses from the .Hack series. Issac was Magus, Garet was Gorre, Ivan was Innis, and Mia was Macha.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

I came up with a multitude of innapropriate names for the characters in Fable 2. God that was fun.

OT: Made a racially inclined name for my F3 character, which hasn't got a grain of accuracy, i'm willing to bet.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Not really, I might screw over an NPC's name though

 

[Lowbreed]

You ****** is my favourite Zelda name. "Hey, You ******!"
Xeslana sounds catchy. (Yes, I know its 'hilarious')
Shy snickers (For anyone who speaks (Swiss)German).

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

I tend to name characters after characters in stories I'm working on.

 

[Lilani]

I like Yahtzee's idea of naming the character "I say" so that everyone in the game speaks like Foghorn Leghorn.

 

[Socken]

Well my Fallout 3 characters are called Valerie Gina, Peter Dophyle and Mary Joanna respectively.

Also in most multiplayer games I'll be called AIDS or cancer. Call me an insensitive asshole but I find "You were killed by cancer." funny.

 

[Captain Pancake]

I always pick a realistic sounding name, boring person that I am.

 

[Scrythe]

I went to a friend's house and played Twilight Princess. Being as bored as I was, I named Link "******" and Epona "Yercock".

"Hey ******, I washed Yercock for you!"

I also regularly play Unreal Tournament under the name "Your_mother".

 

[Cavouku]

My little sister once named Epona "Flo", and Link "Flo Rida'"

...Ugh...

 

[wewontdie11]

I called my character on Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires "Wang Dong". [small]Hehehe...[/small]

 

[Zombie Badger]

I've never really done this. I usually name my characters after film characters. So far I've played as Keyser Soze, Lawrence Dimmik, Beatrix Kiddo etc.

 

[Jedamethis]

I'm nice to my characters.
No silly names for them

 

[Dr. Love]

Well i suppose Call of Duty names don't' really count, but regardless had a whole list of random/witty names I've had throughout the series

In no particular order:

Mr. T
Martha Stewart
My Mom Says I'm Hot
My Mom says i'm sexy
I <3 2girls1cup *shudders*
Bob from Enzyte and my most recent one
George W. Bushes Fluffer

 

[Dr. Love]

I mostly use serious kind of things, but I once named my character Asshole, so the dialogue followed a general "Oh no! What should we do, asshole?" trend. My friend also tried to name his Mass Effect character Gorilla Fist Shepard, but it was too many characters, so he had to settle with Hulk Smash Shepard.

Haha remind me when i was playing Final Fantasy 9, one of the characters was named Armanth (spelling), who's name was "Flaming "name"" I unknowing to this named him "asshole" and couple scenes where people remark on hte "flaming asshole"
