What's your go-to character name when there's no default option?

Stole "Robin" from FE Awakening since it sounds nice and applies to both genders.
Prior to that I just pulled "Winter" out of my ass one day and used that.

I just pick the default. If the game makes me choose an original name I throw some random syllables together, like Zholoda or something.

Depends on the game. For SMT/Persona games I found myself using Ist or Onist. Otherwise I've got a short list of names I use a lot but each has a pretty distinct personality attached to it. I think Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is where those names originated. A few others slipped in from Etrian Odyssey.

Nestor if there's char creation, since I inevitably play as some old fart.

Otherwise something that doesn't sound too out of place for the setting. Giving names to pre-existing, developed characters always feels kind of pointless.

Hiro.
Used it since gold/silver and stick with it.

I tried using my real name once. I restarted not 30 minutes later because I felt embarrassed everytime my name was mentioned.

If a isn't available then I'll pick some other symbol that sounds like a douchy stage last name.

>go-to character name
I try to come up with a new one every time, and end up spending like half an hour staring at the name prompt.

Ok so unicode doesn't work in Yea Forums. Good to know

I always use the latest steam name
and my steam name is flavour of the month waifus

When I was a kid I used my real name
When I was a young adult I started using fantasy names
Now that I’m a lot older I can’t stop using joke names and making my own lore jokingly on how the same characters keeps showing up in every game

' or 1=0; is a fantastic name to go with

Livius for male characters
Seraphina for female characters

Was funny everyone calling Minato "Big"

I usually go with Jo.

I usually use my online nickname for mmos
or something completely meaningless out of a few random syllables like "Durgal"

JC Denton. Or just Denton.

Hang Low

Cormac

If it's a singleplayer game usually DRC or some name that fits the immersion of the game or whatever
Multiplayer I usually make up one on the spot, my favorite was Child le Prodigy but Quality Peon is a standout

for Monster Hunter games: Jehuty
for everything else: Dingo
if I have to give a last name: Egret

it feels fine for stuff like persona but for like FF it just feels wrong

Hello, Paul.

Arseface
It's one of the first names you can buy in Fable and it just sorta stuck with me

When I was younger I always used my name and it felt just right. Now it feels weird unless the character really has no default name (like the original FF warriors of light).

>that feel when your name is not used by anyone else
>WoW armory never had anyone with 2 of my characters names
>checking dotabuff/opendota and no one uses my Steam name either

FeelsGoodMan

If there's no default either my real name (if it fits the setting) or some crazy fantasy shit.

I always use the name Guy because I like how literal it is

Also Phil because that's my name

Hi Phil :]

N

Kalas.

Heres how I name characters, mostly for mmos.
Ill sometimes take a real name, like "Jeff".
then change some of the letters, so "Zeff"
if it sounds too plain, ill add random syllables, so "Zeffard".
if i want to use that name for a female character, ill change it to something like "Zefina" or "Zefly".

once you start getting good at this shit, you'll end up with a bunch of unique names. you no longer have to resort in having to use a generic name and random sets of numbers after it.
or using letters with accent marks just so you can still be "Cloud Strife".

butt

who are you and how do you know my name

EEEKHeaRT

I only do this if the character is supposed to be, like in Animal Crossing.

That can’t be healthy for the cat.

I'm Phil

what

unrelated, but why did they do that in X?
to remind us, you can't change the character-name anymore?

Leon

This, I named my warriors after my boys at the time. My black friend of course being the dark mage. But if there's default names, I stick with those. An exception being if the protagonist is silent and has no personality, I will name him after myself. Like in Chrono Trigger.

I usually just go with "Max." It's short, so it's always fast and easy to type in and never worry about character limits.

>making my own lore jokingly on how the same characters keeps showing up in every game
I do the same, kek

I just put in the first letter of my name. It avoids that weird feeling. Otherwise, I kind of enjoy the roleplaying aspect if it's an RPG and will just try to think of a real fitting name, with a meaning to suit the character I want to play as.

C7VVHV.

It's an inside joke I had with my brothers decades ago when one of us put the controller down in the naming screen and something fell on it making that name.

>picking a name
>for a pre-defined character that you have no say in whatsoever
I don't get it.

Fart

Something random every time, though I've found one I particularly enjoy. I was replaying KOTOR 2 last week when I found my old saves, with a character named D'nutt Steele. I plan on using it exclusively from now on.

I usually go for names that start with A: Adam, Adrian, Alex. They just sound nice to me. Or I literally name the main character "Hero" if I can't think of anything

>Jamal-kun
Anybody have that screenshot?

Something that makes NPCs say "funny" things when they use it in a sentence.

David, cuz it's my name, and the best name in the english language

I just use my steam nickname, but sometimes when I want to go full immersion and try to come out with name that wouldn't stick out like a sure thumb (or hilariously would) I name them after unused names for Ace Attorney localization.

Like, at some point Phoenix Wright was supposed to be named Roger or Godot was almost named William Havamug. I use those unused names.

FUCK ME

>Unironically having a donut steel
I don't get it, how do you jam her into every game then, surely the jarring aesthetics in certain games bother you?

not him but i used to (and sometimes still do depending on the game) imagine it was a different incarnation of that character
an example from me is that from morrowind to skyrim the player character were all from the same family
