Titty Shepard

[MassiveGeek]

Pandora is my standarn name in current rpg's. I think it's pretty good, and doesn't seem to out of place in either fantasy or sci-fi rpgs, so. If I would for some reason play a guy then I usually pick Jeremy. That name always stuck with me when I read the comic Zits for the first time.

When I play pokémon I always name my character Jasmine, though. Don't know why, habit?

 

[C95J]

I use my own name almost 100% of the time, just another way to make me feel a bit more immersed

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

My real name is a bit dull so I don't often use it. I guess the better way to put it is that it just doesn't fit into most settings. "Joseph" just doesn't sound like a name you'd see in Tameril for example.

 

[Jacking]

Often, I just leave the character name alone. Unless no option is given, in which case I use one of many names I use - Greeves and Baddeth are prime examples.

Although once, back in the day, my cousin sent me a copy of FFIX, sadly it was in French so I had no idea what was going on - but I gave those characters some pretty interesting names I must say.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I name characters after original characters from my other stories. Since I have a lot of those I'm not going to run out of names any time soon.

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Marcus,John and Victor for my male characters.Elizabeth Mary.

 

[JemothSkarii]

I name them one thing, just so it'll be topical when I shout...

ALL HAIL LORD CARNAGE!

Woot! CGR!

OT: I normally chose the Canon names, use my username, or my normal name...sometimes I'll be funny...specially in Disgaea...When a Level 400 Mage slamming Giga Star's name is Jesuslick, you give him respect.

 

[Catinks]

i go through what i like to call "phases"

my current name "phase" would now be Catinks (pronounced: Cat - Tinks)i picked this up after hitting random a couple of times in WoW (which i now no longer play) it originally was Catanks or something along the lines of that, but after some modification it looks nice and its fairly unique, hell ive only had to modify it once because it was taken before me some how...
well, that one is usually for male characters, for girl characters i go for Catinka, something a bit more feminine i think....

 

[Jordanjay]

I once had a character on WoW called "Ballsac". Created him on an RP server to see how long it would take for some humourless bastard to complain. Had it about a day then returned to find they had changed my name to something daft like "Rhinelmrum"... Needless to say, I never returned to him!

More recently me and a mate were playing Fallout 3 and created a badass Hispanic nutter named "Reckless Abandon" who beats anything she meets to a bloody pulp with nothing but her bare hands.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

The only one's that I have played with this feature are Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Mass Effect and Chrono Trigger.
I didn't make use of it through Chrono Trigger as I liked the names enough, and I tend to call my Fallout characters "Duke Nukem", "Caleb" or "Dante" (Depending if I want to be good, or just be a dick) and I re-named the default "John Shepard" from Mass Effect to "Adrian Shepard" (Congratulations if you get the reference!)

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I always name them after myself, Sarah. If it's a guy, I ether use Leonard, or a random guys name.

 

[kommando367]

I name my characters K(insert random 3 digit number here), Kommando, Revenant, Steven, or the intended use of that character for team-based single player RPGs (ex: Tank, DPS, etc...).

 

[bodyguarddied]

I either name them after myself, a friend, or just look up a random name online. Except on one playthrough on Mass Effect, where I named my Shepard "Commander". Makes it seem like everyone is actually using his first name in conversation...

 

[Knusper]

If I'm being boring, I use my real name or 'Knusper'. I like to make a mix of names of those that fit the game's world and those that don't, just for the laughs; for example, I called my latest KoToR character 'Captain Punctual'.

 

[DevilWolf47]

Most of the times i use my name (Michael), my late cat's name (Yuri), my dog's name (Hoshi), though sometimes i will also use names from random characters from Fire Emblem.

 

[luclin92]

luclin, Zod or my real one.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

I name them one thing, just so it'll be topical when I shout...

ALL HAIL LORD CARNAGE!

I think you mean Lord Karnage! With a K. Because that's how Lord Karnage rolls.

 

[alfawx]

I usually go with a generic name like Fred or something, but when I feel like it I just go for a weird one. For example: Lasdriniflirastiuskrinisdalfrindian. Yes, I can pronounce that.

 

[Mike Laserbeam]

I started out using my own name, and the names of friends and family when given the option to name other characters (namely, old Final Fantasy games). That was pretty uninspired of me but, I was a kid.
Then after realising that game conversations were quite difficult if you couldn't even remember the main character's true name (Tidus in FFX) I have almost always kept the predetermined names given.

Although with Pokemon I'll always name the rival character something bad, hoho I remember having battles against "Poo" or "Willy" when I played pokemon Red and Blue at the age of 6! Haha... Serves you right!

 

[noble cookie]

If it's worth anything I named my dog in Fable 3 Dicksmasher.

...cmon, who won't be scared by that?
