What's your roleplaying name?

[Flunk]

I choose a new one for every game. I like it to fit the character. My commander Shepard is named Jackson Shepard because I thought it sounded both stupid and possible. He looks like a bit of a jerk.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

All of my characters are like a family. They all use the surname Xavarus.

Exius Xavarus
Arbitratus Xavarus
Rexus Xavarus
Rillik Xavarus
Zinelle Xavarus(fem character only)
Phalga Xavarus(Mage only)

I used to name my mages Xavar, until I changed it to Xavarus and into a surname for my roleplaying names.

 

[bubba145]

normally Jethro Lavenski

 

[DudeD1020]

The names I use are usually a random roll from a name table I made.(All the names came from my most memorable characters in DnD games.
Drak- Elf druid
Alexander- Human mage
Lars- Half-elf fighter
Jacobe- Halfling paladin
Groos blade-tosser- orc barbarian
Renob- Gnome sorcerer
Adrick- Dwarf paladin
Teme'sth- human bard
Slen Gnome-eater- orc barbarian
Rafael- elf fighter

 

[Nitroklop]

I usually go with Yakamaru.

 

[lukenhiumur]

Lukenhiumur
I'd tell you where the name is from, but i honestly can't remember.

 

[Jonluw]

At the moment it's Will Vandrell.

Spoiler: Why? Ehhh...

So I'm a huge dork... Watch me care.

 

[zehydra]

Zehydra

not very surprising, eh?

 

[The Heavy Metal Nerd]

Depending on my mood, character type and what's avalable: James Firebrand (Or just Firebrand), Asasca and Avak.

 

[Composer]

Nikov
or John

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

In modern RPGs like Persona 3 or 4 I use my name. In fantasy or medieval RPGs I use Iustificus Clautus, my name from Latin class.

 

[dragonhunter21]

Back in the days when I played Garry's Mod roleplay (Mostly DarkRP in the beginning), my name was usually James Robbins. (If any of you used to play PERP or ORCP back in the day, well, it's nice to meet another veteran.)

 

[AetherWolf]

If there's a default or fanon name, I just go with it. Otherwise... there aren't many names I tend to stick with. I look at the character's appearance or the setting of the game and just think up some random shit.

Although my PSN name is Eden, so yeah.

 

[Byere]

Same as my fursona... Grendothrape Le Toucalle, or Gren/Grendo for short

 

[thatguy1]

In pokemon, I always name my character Bronson, because I was watching Death Wish one day before starting a new game.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

I normally use Celesia -Cell-ah-see-ah (I normally play female characters-why would I want to play as bland looking mc-bland man? They also tend to have nicer voices/voice actors.)

It's a tribute to someone I used to play alongside/fight/run into all the time who's name was very similar. His was dutch I think but I can't remember his spelling/name. Basically I took the basis of his name feminized it and made it sound and spelt quite different.

If I'm playing as a male I tend to use John Arrowfield/Arrowfeld/Arfeld/Arrahfeld

I also gave a different friend the name they usually use: "Lamentai" La-men-tai (femanised "lament" basically 'cos they like to grief a lot).

 

[teebeeohh]

max power
the dude
validname
or whatever the random name generator gives me in bioware games

 

[Stammer]

I usually pick a different name just because each RPG has unique names. It'd be weird if I used my DnD character's name, Kairon, when I was playing an Orcish Nob in Warhammer 40k.

 

[Drakmorg]

Just for fun I like using names that suggest either extreme evil or extreme good, and then playing a character of the opposite alignment.

My current favorite name for a good character: Crukul the <Unholy, Despised, Cruel, Pernicious, Baleful, etc. depends on my mood>. His parents gave him the middle name "the" just so his last name seemed like a title.

My current favorite for an evil character: Sparkles Sunbeam.

 

[emeraldrafael]

It depends on the character I use.

I have:
-A vampire named Rafael Oscuro (Translation from Spanish -> English: God's Healing Dark) that I use alot for fantasy

-A Wandering Knight named Tenlo Soleran for a more realistic fantasy

-A (mutant?) above average human named Tone when I want to be more original (and for an rp I started)

-A trainer named Luke for pokemon Rps (psychic trainer class)

-An assortment of pokemon that mainly consist of a:
*Vaporeon (Arroy [Short for arroyuelo, which is Rill in Spanish])
*Weavile (Beth)
*<url=http://www.smogon.com/cap/pokemon/pyroak>Pyroak (Raptor)
*<url=http://www.smogon.com/cap/pokemon/kitsunoh>Kitsunoh (Jake)
*Absol (Tenlo)
*Blaziken (Alev)

-And the one closest made in my image (that I use rather rarely) named after me to which I adapt to the rp.

Plus I'll make generic characters if I think it wont last or I wont have a big part in it.

EDIT: Though if it just mean a video game, usually Rafael, Tenlo, or Arroy. If it calls for a last name, I just use Oscuro, Soleran, or Aquanta respectively.
