What'd you name your Shepard and why?

[Alpha Maeko]

"Shepard." "Wrex."

Wrex Shepard.

 

[Sentox6]

I named her Zara.

Absolutely no idea why.

 

[Inkidu]

My guys get pretty standard names.

My femSheps get named after Greek and Roman goddesses. Not because I made any of them particularly attractive (though some are)

I think I've used:

Juno
Hestia
Cerce
Aphrodite
Persephone

I don't remember which I completed though.

 

[Blind0bserver]

Samus.

Do I need to explain that?

I'm not sure I get the reference. /troll

 

[The Mighty Thesaurus]

I named mine Jaime because that's my name

 

[Rex Fallout]

Rex for obvious reasons. Its an awesome name.

 

[Skye1]

Phrixos. As a tribute to my Lets Play buddy.

 

[Zaverexus]

Jack Shepherd.
You shouldn't have to ask why.

 

[Exitium_M]

Named mine Christine after a badass chick I once knew. I used Silas for my male Shepard because my wife and I are still debating that as our son's name - which will never happen.

 

[Zyxx]

Sonic Shepard - I had just finished playing Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood, another Bioware title (which was actually a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be) and thought it would be funny.
Female is Moya Shepard, because I frell Farscape.

 

[NaramSuen]

I named her Octavia after the late great SF writer Octavia Butler.

 

[UmbrellaAssassin]

Tried to make him look like me but just made one ugly ass bastard as for the name.... Twatycakes.
I think its pretty self explanatory.

 

[SageRuffin]

My FemShep goes by the lovely name of Erika.

Spoiler: Say hi, Erika.

Uh... yeah. Sorry about that. Anyway, she's named as such since my FemShep is loosely based off a character I created some time back of the same name (Erika Dumonte, the younger of two sisters).

If anyone cares, I can detail how ME!Erika and Sage!Erika are different, though there is a major similarity between the two: they're both Marines, and damn good snipers at that. Otherwise, I won't anyone's time with what could be a boring wall of text.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

My first/xbox maleshep's name was Joseph (or Johnathan... I think it was Joseph), I believe.
Don't remember my ME2/xbox femshep's name... (didn't make her in the first ME cause the game broke)

Second/PC maleshep's name is Adrian.
Next time I make a new maleshep, his name will also be Adrian.

 

[lovemyredguitar]

"BIGASSTITS Sheppard"

 

[Tartarga]

I called mine Shepard because i'm sick of everyone calling me by my last name.

 

[Deimateos]

Maleshep
Dei. It's what my steam friends use as a nickname for my username. I've also been told it means "of god" at the end of a latin phrase like "Agnus dei", but I didn't plan for that.


Femshep
Cuntface. Her name fit perfectly, as she was the most renegade buzz-cut ginger badass ever.

 

[Stammer]

My original was John. I didn't have the option to name him or anything (I think I accidentally hit "Quick Start").

My second, this time female Renegade, I named Joanna. I don't really know why. I don't usually name female characters that, but if I ever do play female I usually play a really sweet girl not a jerk. Perhaps Perfect Dark? That's the only thing I could think of lol.

When I do my third playthrough it's going to be another male, this time I'm going to name him Roy. Why Roy? If I ever have a child that's what I'm naming him.
