What Video Game Characters Do You Share Names With?

[BrunDeign]

As far as I know I only share a name with the male player character in Ruby and Sapphire, Brendan, but I always thought it was pretty cool.

What about you guys?

 

[masseyguy911]

Well, in games there are many things called Hunters, and my name is Hunter, so does that count?

 

[Serenegoose]

I don't directly share my name with any video game characters. Closest is Sofia Lamb and Sophitia Alexander, from Bioshock 2 and the Soul games. Oddly enough, despite my name not being rare, I almost never hear anyone else with it.

Not good with names. Off the top of my head, I share my name with Joshua from The World Ends With You. I'll update this if I think of more.

I think the name Hunter is awesome, never met anyone with it.

OT, my names not the most common but there's still a few. Kyle Katarn the Jedi Knight games. Kyle Broflovski in any South Park based video games if that counts. There's probably a couple more.

Can I go off and play a couple RPGs, naming my character "Ian?"

Because I don't think I've ever seen an Ian in a game before.

The shit Elite 4 member from Gold/Silver Crystal, Will.

 

[open trap]

Some randome trainer in one of the pokemon games is named Trevor like me

 

[solarc38]

I think Space Siege was the only time I've seen my name used. The main character is Seth.

 

[Saltyk]

Honestly, my real name is fairly common, but I never hear it in a game. Probably because it's too normal and games always want AWESOME names.

Example
Cloud
Dante
Solid Snake (though to be fair, his real name is David)
Kratos
Morrigan
Altair
Ryu (Street Fighter and Breath of Fire)

So I doubt many people share real names with game characters. Expecially RPG characters.

 

[Bryan Jue]

Um, whoever's named Bryan? Do you know any Bryans in games?

 

[CrashBang]

OMG are you the bassist from AFI? If so you're a legend, I saw you in Birmingham in April, best gig of my life. If not... kick-ass name, brah

OT: Ummm... dammit. Will is quite a common name but I can't think of any Wills in video games

Um, whoever's named Bryan? Do you know any Bryans in games?

Bryan Fury is a character in the popular Tekken 3D fighting game series.
Brian Wilks is a resident of Greyditch, and perhaps the only survivor of the Fire Ant catastrophe that has taken place there.
First couple of Google results.

OT: Most Russians in games are named Ivan or Boris or something. Haven't met a single Stanislav yet

 

[Lightslei]

I can't think of a single character from any game with the name Dan.

 

[linkzeldi]

Rebecca. Rebecca. Rebecca.
I think that was the name of that one chick in yu-gi-oh.

 

[Random Guy]

I share my name with a lagomorph from the Sam & Max games.(Max)
Can't think of any other games which feature a Max.

 

[fr3lance]

Lance of the Kanto/Johto Elite Four as every Jr. High kid I've met has pointed out, both then and now....
Additionally: Lance Vance from GTA, Lance Bean from Contra, and Lance of Fire Emblem 6.

 

[Bynine]

Well, there's this one Youngster..

 

[Azure-Supernova]

I can think of a couple Toms from Fallout.
