Naming Your Characters.

[Da Joz]

Usually my characters are named after little inside jokes my friends and I have, or fagballs.

 

[J. Reed]

Random names that still sound vaguely like actual names.. never anything with numbers. Sometimes the name will make transition from game to game.. but it's a fairly large repetoire that i work from.

Yeah. No numbers. Ever. I have to lie to myself that I'm preserving my originality. Which is kind of ironic when I think about it. Numbers in names are the bane of my existence, because they make me feel unoriginal, even though there are millions of people are playing the SAME game, with essentially the SAME character, all striving to reach the SAME predetermined goal(s).

Ahh... I think I just depressed myself.

 

[Scobie]

DELETED

 

[Meggiepants]

I generally try to pick something random and interesting sounding.

Though I have gone the humorous route on occasion. After I read the PA strip on Dragon Age I named my dog Barkspawn thereafter.

 

[J. Reed]

I tend to keep my characters' names fitting to the world they live in.

ie. Giving the space marine commander from DoW2 an angelic name

Ha. I did that for awhile. Only, not so much angelic, as Roman-esque (Romanesque?) But regardless, I kept them serious. My Force Commander was named Regulus for the longest time.

Then one day I was like, "Enough with that."

Thus, Commander Beef, and Commander Mush-Vroom were born!

 

[Ninja Tank]

any time you get to name people i will stay in a theme based idea. If they have preloaded names i don't change them at all

 

[oppp7]

My names fall into several categories:
1. oppp7 or some other nickname.
2. Something weird sounding but definately a name.
3. Something completely random(Sgdfhf Gh, for instance) that I made as a starting character and meant to delete but instead forgot to and it became my best character.

 

[Poofs]

i usually go either Dante, B., or Zombi Fetus
no i dont have a reason

 

[Parugraph]

Pretty Much give them my own name for lack of a creative mind.
But I do sometimes give them a name whatever sounds funny I guess.

 

[Ultress]

Usually I stick with a name of something I'm into at that time, used to be Characters from Death Note or tack on a hime at the end. Right Now I'm stuck on the name Tatsuya. Though I'm gradually leaning towards Kenzo Tenma for my next P4 Run.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I crib inspiration from all sorts of sources, but I rarely just lift wholesale a name from some other media, and if I do, I will still typically modify it. If it's a name anyone else is going to see? I definitely take the time to create something original.

For example, here are the various characters I've created in Guild Wars (besides my forum name, which is the name of my original character): Ceia Mirshail, Marcus Lyonsbane, Kayila Spiritwalker, Kurvaen Swift Knife, Valar Flamesinger, Silas The Penitent, Wilhelm Garrison, Darien Vyralax, and Alyana Rakash.

I generally just make them up on the spot.

 

[snow]

All my characters are named after characters from this book I'm writing.. Or want to write anyway.. When I create a character and notice qualities about it that match said character, that character lives on in that game xD

 

[Javito de la Calle]

I use to call al my character Shavi

 

[One Seven One]

I usually name my character Robbie (my name), Repel, and once or twice I've named him Robbie Repel.

I'm not exactly sure how I started naming my characters Repel.

 

[KiLl_RoY]

I don`t know, i usually choose the first one that comes to my mind or i copy one from somewhere.

Fallout 1 and 2:None
Fallout 3:Bob
Dragon age:Kalecgos
wow human mage:Erectus
wow human warrior.TomRed
and that`s all I remember.

 

[Piorn]

Often, I call myself just Piorn, but sometimes "I say",for the lulz.
I put a lot of thought in naming my companions or pets, but often just name them after Mythological figures they look alike.
On Harvest Moon though, I name my animals after meals made of them, such as Cheeseburger, McNugget, or Schnitzel.

 

[seventy7l]

For a long time every character I named began with an S. Examples being Sally, Sarah, Siegfried and Solomon. This in fact started with a character named Solomon Milon Dish after these hilarious subtitles [http://www.angelfire.com/rings/ttt-subtitles/060-080/] Right now, the only game I'm playing where I get to name my characters is Tropico 3, and all my characters have names taken from this video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5xhfCGcAYw], which should give me material for quite a while. The names Muffy and Derek are also common, because I find them hilarious.

You have officially made me change all my characters online stuff and everything to Candoff!!!!
Yes naming characters is nearly impossible for me so i usually just steal stuff from other games.

 

[yaoi1990fan]

i try to go for names that sound interesting in my head XD
Hasko
Jackonis Jamasin
Demons Pleasure
Random Neckchewer
are a few examples

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Well for any Game it is ether Blumiere or Bleck! But for SOul Calibur 4 it is ether names of characters that already exist or names of characters who i turn them into such as Gilgamesh or Odysseus and lets not forget Hades and Persephone!

 

[Mr. Purple]

<color=purple> I sometimes get creative and think something up, but i usually just go with my name or the default or something.
