I called my male Jack Shepard like the guy from LOST.

I made my female Shepard be really pale, have the longest possible black hair and named her Alma. I was bored.

James for one of the male sheps as its my name
the rest were kinda random, cept Kenuji cus, his face model template (did some modding after) was asian, i decided to make it Asian esk (i know its sterotypical and maby racist so sue me)

i generally go for names i use everywhere, James Rebbeca Jennifer are the three i mostly use.

I had several names for several shepards. My own name, soldier to differentiate and my personal favorite Alan for whom Shepard got his last name

Zéza X.¥.

Mostly because when I see a set of weird symbols I tend to abuse it.

Yes, she's supposed to have a middle name that starts with a yen sign.

My ManShep is named Tank, since that's a nickname of mine(hence my user name).

And my FemShep is named Jade. I just like the name Jade, and I've been using it for female characters since my Assassin in Diablo II.

Claire, because that's my favourite female name. And now because of her I can't name another character Claire without associating it with her.

Baryk Shepard for me. Pronounced Bear-ick. I'll look for a screenshot. I tried to make him look Germanic though.

James Shepard because James is my name's english version (Tiago Shepard would be kinda weird... thought unique)

I went with Alan, after the famous astronaut.
Evidently, Alan Shepard who is the character is actually named for. Go figure.

Alan Bartlett.

EDIT: Wow, the guy above me had the same idea. Kudos.

So yeah, self explanatory, gimme a name and and explanation. And just for fun, maybe throw in a pic or a screencap if you didn't go with the default look.

I named my mine Adrian. 10 internets to the guy who first gets that reference. I used the default MaleShep so no pic for you.
MY name is Adrian and I can't believe I never thought of that. Although I think the spelling of Shepard is different, Shepherd or something like that. I named mine Clint, with a face to match, scars and all. He was a kind of tough but honorable guy, like the Man with No Name or Dirty Harry.

I named my Shepard Sebastian, after one Sebastian Melmoth, because I liked my course in British Decadence.

I could describe his looks as "Rambo meets Blackadder in space," but actually he's pretty plain.

James, because that's... My name o.o

I could've stuck with the default name, John, though, because when I was about halfway through the game I stopped playing and watched 3 episodes of Two and a Half Men on TV and then when I went back to Mass Effect and got into a conversation, I noticed my Shepard looked incredibly similar to John Cryer. It was actually kinda creepy.

I named my second, non-canon Shepard Rise after the character from Persona 4 for no particular reason other than that I like the name.

Half-Life: Opposing Force protagonist.
Default. I assumed that a fancy name would leave gaps in the dialouge.

John Shepard. I can never be bothered to make up an appropriate name for my characters, so I use the defaults. Also, John is my actual name.
