Naming Your Character

[Raiha]

nicolas, revan, raiha, and shadow. characters from my favorite games and manga. i have been using those four for the last 4-5 years now.

 

[Captain Wes]

I name them Tralgor, I try to make them looks as similar as possible using the character creator, Tralgor originated in the first d & d game I played, as a homeless time traveling archer who got drunk and woke up in the middle of someone elses adventure urinating on a dragon to extinguish it's tail flame to kill it (having confused dragons with Charmander). Since than Tralgor has gone on tons of adventures accumulating great wealth and urinating on a wide variety of objects searching for the way home and the perfect screwdriver (the drink not the tool) also he has no pinky on his left hand for some reason, but most video games don't have a remove left pinky option so.. you know.
the end

 

[Caligulove]

Something off the top of my head. Never something serious though.

For the case of Mass Effect, though- I did Jack Shepard- and made him look like Jack from LOST. It only seemed logical. I think this now means that Mass Effect is part of the LOST storyline

The next time, I went with Adrian Shepard for the Half Life character that needs to come back again

 

[The Heik]

I have a regular practice when given the option to name my character in a game: Males will be named after Kurt Vonnegut (Mass Effect's TRUE hero: Commander Kurt Von Shepard). When the character is female, I'm less consistent. Usually, she'll be named after a female musician (eg: Karen O, Kim Gordon). How do you name your characters? Do you name them after yourself or someone you look up to? Do you make it absurd and humorous? Or are you a nihilistic namer who has no pattern at all?

Generally whatever fits with the character's environment or last name.

 

[Layz92]

Usually I use one of my 2 aliases I use one online for my first character. After that I use names I like from books or anywhere for that matter. I'm currently using a character called Tohuvabohu after an album and I like the meaning of the name.

I have four, which are almost always used if I haven't done so before on whatever game I'm playing.
Good male: Yrcanos
Evil male: Davros
Good female: Romana
Evil female: Rani

Doctor Who fan much? ^^

[Kurokami]

Depends on the game really, much as this is frowned upon, I quite enjoy roleplaying games (and I mean roleplaying games, not any game with a skill tree featured in some fantasy based setting) and I've got several go-to-characters when Roleplaying in a modern setting, when its fantasy settings its often a bit more difficult as I like to think thoroughly about the name.

As for normal games, I stick to my regular Usernames. Ejiki, Hissori, Namae and Kurokami being some of the most regular ones.

Quite like the second two, =]

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Male: Stukov, always.
Female: Just flip it around and you get Vokuts, people never suspect a thing!

 

[Dragon Zero]

Actually before Dragon Zero was my escapist name, it was my name in games where I had enough space. Otherwise I draw from History, like Thomas Johnathan Jackson or Hiram Ulysses Grant (if you are seeing a pattern give yourself a cookie), Mythology like Heimdall, Sobek, or Gilgamesh, and I always have a Legend of Zelda file with the name Link.

 

[Deadpewl]

If I find the customization in the game lacking I usually name the character Generik. Otherwise, I name him something random. Ive grown quite partial to the name Agent Squeaks lately.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

Fagballs Mcgeezacks Shepard. HAHA! I get a laugh outa that everytime.

 

[Gorog2]

I just use, Gorog2, or 2Gorog

 

[e2density]

Most of the time I stay with default names, if possible. If not I use my real name, Connor.

 

[p3t3r]

i name them after my self peter. maybe in all capitals or something, but a while a go i decided that they shall all be named peter
