What'd you name your Shepard and why?

[Treeinthewoods]

Shepard, that way I can pretend people are referring to him by his first name during romantic dialogue.

 

[Sabrestar]

Crystal, for the simple reason that I think it's a lovely name.

 

[DrDanger]

Badass Shepard. Because he's a space bully.

 

[DrDanger]

Badass Shepard. Because Shepard is a badass space bully.

 

[Zero_ctrl]

Alan Shepard, to further complete the reference to the first American in space.

 

[DSK-]

My real name, Souichirou, Jennifer, Jessica and my newest one on my laptop, German.

 

[Jnat]

Evil Shepard
Good Shepard
Solider Shepard
killeveryone Shepard

 

[Nicholas Woodruff]

Good old, John, because I'm lazy and uncreative. But if I named him, I'd probably go with something like, oh, I dunno... Damian.
Yeah, Damian Shepherd.
No, never mind, that sounds gay. Nope, no idea.

 

[reiem531]

I always-ALWAYS- name my RPG protagonists "Ness."

Why? Because it's awesome.

 

[soren7550]

Roslyn because I just love the name.

Spoiler: Roslyn Shepard in ME1 & 2

 

[mizutanitony]

I named my male Shepard Alexander because it just seemd to feel epic for the mission he was on. The females I have a lot of with different names but my favorite is Leela...and guess why.

 

[sharpsheppard]

my irl name is last name is sheppard so i just call him by my first name Shepard

 

[Sir Boss]

Let's see, I've had;
Carlson ( I like that name)
Eleanor (Bioshock 2 reference)
Celestine (Warhammer 40K reference)
Hadrian (sounds manly)
Eliza (can't remember)
Adrianna (can't rememeber)

fair amount yes?

 

[DJ_DEnM]

Nier.

Because of the Squeenix game.

Nier.

 

[Vykrel]

i kept mine entirely default, both name and appearance. i felt like BioWare had developed this character pretty well on their own, and i already had the image of him in my head from what they had done, so i decided to leave it as it was.

 

[Sam Leighton]

Alex Shepard for femshep, just kept John Shepard for maleshep. Although I spelt it wrong Alex is named after Alyx Vance from HL2

 

[Ironsouled]

Sergei Shepard, and he got extensive scarring, ice blue eyes, black hair and brows, and a face that, though not obviously ugly, screamed 'I. Will. Kill you.' Renegade Infiltrator shep who I always imagined as a Russian, to the point that I'd start hearing the voice actor with that accent.

 

[Atmos Duality]

First playthrough: Manuel (when I finished, he looked like Mexican Matt Damon)
Second playthrough: Buttplug

 

[DarkRyter]

Shepard.

Shepard Shepard.

I like to think Kasumi giggles behind my back.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

I named my Shepard Commander, so when people say "Commander Shepard" they are calling me by my full name.
