What do you name your in game characters / save files?

[D.D.D.]

I used to try to use my real name, but I ran into something I found very annoying. Most console games, particularly older ones, have either a 5 or 10 character limit for names. My name is 11 letters long. So I usually use the "official" name.

Christopher?
Bartholomew?
Maximillian?
3 strikes, I'm out~

I've probably already said this earlier in the thread, but I always use BRA as my name/save. It goes waaay back, playing arcade games where you could only input 3 letters. Since my first name is Brad, and the first 3 letters are B-R-A it just stuck. Y'know? Like a bra?

I'll go with Mitchell if I can, though Pokémon limits names to seven letters, so Mitch then. Sometimes I'll use Yoshi, and I use YoshiEgg25 for Mario Kart DS.

On Zelda games, I go with Link. Always.

Like totally!..... brah.

[Para]

Para usually fits most naming things.
If it is 3 letters, I usually put my initials, or something inappropriate like FAP, ASS, POO, etc



When I was making a characters on Swords and Serpents a long time ago, I couldnt think of anything to name my last character so I just pressed a bunch of buttons as I moved the cursor around and somehow ended up naming my warrior BAAAB so I use that sometimes for characters now too. BAAAB was a legendary warrior and his name will live on.

[Lodestar]

Depends on the game, but usually "Lodey."

If it's a game where player customization comes into play, I always use my alias. If it's a game with no customization, default names always...unless they don't have any, like in Dragon Quest.

[Key-Glyph]

I name characters after friends when I can. I enjoy arbitrarily assigning parts to people I know and seeing what happens to whom as the story unfolds. I will then report the results to the individuals in question ("I'm sorry Jeremy, but as I was rafting down the river at the end of Oregon Trail I struck a rock and lost two oxen, four wagon axles, and you").

The character I play is always Autumn, regardless of whether it's a girl or boy. If I'm playing a game that needs a lot of names -- Pokémon, for example -- I'll pick words out of a Japanese/English dictionary.
