Game characters that have the same name as you?

[DirgeNovak]

OT: I doubt it. Þórir is uncommon enough in Iceland, so for it to be in a video game would surprise me greatly.

How the hell do you pronounce that? I must know!

According to amazing Google Translate, it's Thor. Which is fucking awesome. I hope Google was right.

 

[CaptVickHartnell]

I think there are a few characters named Nick, but I don't think I've played as any of them, and my last name is pretty uncommon and rather un-action-hero-sounding. Oddly enough, I do know a guy named Adam Jensen, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the name of the protagonist in the new Deus Ex.

 

[Loud Hawk]

Only Oliver I can think of is my character in Mass Effect and when I chose that name for my guy in Grid. Other than that nope.

 

[ilspooner]

Uh, I can't think of any game characters named Isabelle off the top of my head. Apart from characters that I name, they don't count.

 

[Stammer]

Man, I have a hard enough time finding other people with my name. And according to a lot of people I talk to my name isn't even that rare to begin with. But seriously, I think I've only ran into like 2 or 3 Tyler's in my whole life.

Þ is pronounced like a th. A good example would be fifth.
Ó is just an O with a comma on top.
And R is pronounced more err than arr here in Iceland. I is not eye but just the single letter. And I already explained the R.
In common English it would be written as Thorir for ease of reading.

 

[ScRaT_the_destroyer]

mine is an odd one i don't think ive ever come across it in a game: Damien

 

[Yosato]

Sadly I don't, especially sucks since I have one of the most common names out there.

 

[OctoH]

There are people with the pronunciation of my name, but my spelling is drastically different. That said, my nickname is used every once in a while: "Joker." That said, the pilot from the ME series is absolutely nothing like me.

 

[Sperium 3000]

I share a first name with Diego Armando from the Ace Attorney series. It's uncanny actually, since that's not the only thing we share. We also have the same color of skin and the same nationality (Brazilian. Acording to an interview I read, Diego Armando is Brazilian).

 

[badpun]

well my name's Andrew Ryan so i guess i'm stuck with bioshock

 

[freakydan]

I share my first and last name with the doctor who was force fed a piece of glass in CoD: Black Ops, though it's spelled slightly different. That was a bit weird.

 

[Romidude]

No one. Ever. There will never be anyone with my name in a game. It's a poor English-ification of an Arabic name.

 

[Comieman]

Erm...none.
But you if you take Scandinavian version of my first name you will get Ingvar (Final boss in Utgard Keep in WoW)

 

[Extragorey]

I don't think I've ever encountered game character named Murray.

Obviously you've never played the Monkey Island series. Arguably the best character in it.
Rest in peace, Murray.

For me, I've only seen my name in one game, and that was an MMO (Runescape), I guess because it's got such a wide variety of NPC names.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

I don't think I've ever encountered game character named Murray.

The Murray would like to have a word with you. :o

I've come across one or two characters in my entire life named Steve. None with my last name, though.

 

[natster43]

With only the first name, mine is Nathan.
So Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Nathan Vargas (Fallout 3), Nathan Stanley (Fallout New Vegas), Nathan Stone (Fallout New Vegas, Nathan Hale (Resistance), Nathan "Rad" Spencer(Bionic Commando), Nathan Gould (Crysis), Nathan Copeland (No More Heroes), and probably a few more.

Ones named Nathan Buchta... None.

 

[hagar2]

max payne...... thats all i got.

 

[Voulan]

The only major character I could find is Rachel Alucard from Blazblue (though the name isn't the right spelling):

Other than that, only extremely minor characters in random games.

By the way, for those who don't know of any try searching through this list here. [http://www.giantbomb.com/characters/?page=11&letter=r]

 

[Jake0fTrades]

I share a name with this irritating son of a *****.

Spoiler: From Mass Effect

I'm greatly offended.
