Naming Your Character

[Shotaro]

For male characters Thaimor, Female characters generally something Aimoree, Aimoress etc.

On FPS games and online its Shotaro, though spelt different ways $h0t4r0 <old UT/CS version, Sh0t4r0 <gamertag etc. It's Kaneda from Akira's first name (which my screen name used to be but too many people had taken it)

 

[Johnn Johnston]

Mine is nearly always Johnny Johnston, or one of its numerous mis-spellings. Such as this account.

 

[Tryzon]

'Tryzon' is such a wonderously all-purpose title that only it and a few variations of the same thing (Lord Tryzon the Unexplodable, anyone? Loving the ironic names myself) keep me going fine. Plus fewer games give you the option of picking names now anyway, with the machine cunningly using the player account name, but obviously you all know that. I'm just waffling now. Doo-dee-dum.

 

[Iron Mal]

I useually use 'Mal' for male characters (for obvious reasons), when it comes to women though...I just make a name up on the spot, nothing too specific.

The exception for both of these is if I am playing a particular game purely so I can mess around, for instance, one time in Oblivion I named my character 'Boobs' and created a rapeist class for him.

'Are you sure you want to be a rapeist?'...that'll stay with me to the grave

 

[the protaginist]

this depends mainly on what movie/book i'm watching/reading at the time.if can get a bow and some arrows in a game,it's Will or Halt.(rangers apprentice reference)however, if it's a crime game i'll call the character Smith.(shoot 'em up!)

 

[crimsnsacrifice]

More often than not (when it comes to online games, or one's where we have to create a character name) my husband and I use our default intarweb personas (crimsnsacrifice and RabidFlea). Occasionally we try to be creative.

Case in point: I have this book in my collection called "Who In Hell". It's a "guide" to the people/demons that are residing in hell. My husband and I will sometimes take names out of there.
For example: My husband's undead rogue on WoW is named Shax - a demon who deafens and blinds the enemies of his friends.

RPG's and the like where the character's have names as default, we use those.

 

[darthsmily]

My name in any game is usually always darthsmily back when I checked out runescape and the name has just stuck.
But sometimes i like to use the name Des.
And for online games I like picking a song off of one of my favorite bands whch is usually a Metallica or Megadeth song.
For a female character I usually give them names after different shades of primary colours and give them matching clothes such as Azure.

 

[J'aen]

On the subject of joke names, after Yahtzee's Phantom Hourglass review I played Pokemon and named both myself and my rival I say. I say, I say, are you ready to begin your Pokemon adventure?

A guy I used to know named his Bellsprout Bellend, but that's another matter entirely.

Name: God

All Pokemon nicknames: Minion

[Lord Krunk]

Lord Krunk or Darth Jaffa.

Pure genius!

Excuse me if I use that idea myself.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

I always just use my name haha never forget it then

 

[Wofiel]

I use the game's default if there is one.
Otherwise males is Wofiel, females are Yianim or Itslek.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

SecretTacoNinja/Nazi or S.T.N for short
In The Legend of Zelda it's always Link though
