Whats the name you use to name your characters?

a14b0b No.218

I call my characters Dude.

20e967 No.219

The default name for single player games, ofcourse.

I like using Defacto in multiplayer games. That's the default name that maxis gives you when you start a new city in Sim City.

090000 No.226

>Female characters
Lady, or some variation thereof.

>Male characters

The most mundane name I can think of. Examples include Bob, Doug, Dave, and John.

e899c4 No.229

Ulthar for men
Esmerelda for women

e46059 No.234

Mostly, I use Stone Soup god names for characters, though I do like to name female characters Elena.

e8b2d6 No.238

Either Tundra or Flintlock
Both are usually taken in multiplayer so I add suffixes and titles/ranks to them depending on the setting of the game.

38836d No.239

It really depends on the game but I try to go for something that fits the protagonist.

for example if the game was System Shock it would be Hacker

The only exception would be LoZ. LONK or LUNK will always be the hero of time as far as I'm concerned.

20e967 No.246

Always used Asterix, since I was a kid. Loved that comic.

b41d99 No.412

Going to be that guy


I use my own name

f271bf No.413

For male characters my initials, it works because it goes consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel.

For females I hit random until something that I feel fits her drops.

0273ae No.415

I usually take female characters and I have something I cannot explain with the name Hekate

20e967 No.419

>being that guy

pretty lame, anon.

e722be No.447

I always name my toons in an RPG Darius, in a RTS is like shitlord or homogay. For FPS' I name my character something really dumb. On my Halo 2 save it's "Candle Light Dik"

2f984b No.448

I always name my characters Gaylord.

I'm very mature.

9392ad No.478

Either the name of some character in the book I am currently reading, or Boris.

784907 No.481

>>448
Gaylord is a pretty heroic name. My bankers name was Tim Gaylord. I still have his business card. A guy with that name will go far.

My male characters are all called Walker, after Walker, Texas Ranger, that TV show starring Chuck Norris

a5af04 No.482

>>448
On an equally mature note I use McSwaggins.
For additional characters after that it becomes a dynasty of McSwaggins II, III etc.

6b3c94 No.498

In more homey games like Pokemon I name it after myself, because I know that a self-insert won't damage the story.

Nearly every time it's available I use the default name

When I can't, I name it an average-sounding name that fits the time period.

If it's a multiplayer game, I usually do it like a 12 year old would and say something like pussy blaster plus an amalgamation of 420s, XxXs, #, and yolos

aaeb5b No.503

if they had a name already picked for them i would use it.
feels weird playing earthbound with a charecter called fagg so i just sticked with ness

8b3f93 No.518

Biblical first name, random wikipedia article last name. Never fails.

894756 No.519

Depends on the game, usually it's the default name, otherwise it's the name of somebody's pet or somebody I know. If it's something like Pokemon, where I can name a group, I'll pick a theme and stick with it. I keep telling myself I'll be immature and use Faglord one day but I can never find the right game.

If it's naming ships in a fleet I'll either go with real ships or something from the 40k name generator. It depends on what the character limit allows.

50c4d5 No.522

Isador or Lindvardh if it's a European/White character.
Martezo if it looks Spanish/Asian since I can't tell the difference between those two.
Something not serious and ghetto if the character is black.
My own name if it is a game that takes place in 1920 and up. My grandfather's if it is 1600-1900. I'll chose randomly in years between.

2a4329 No.534

I almost always use Bob or Jill. The generic-ness of the names in any situation strikes me as funny for some reason.

>>518
>John Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica

34940a No.547

For multiplayer games I tend to use the same username I made back when I was in elementary school playing Pokemon. It's fucking embarrassing but I'm really attached to it.

For single-player games I tend to go default. If it's something like Etrian Odyssey I name the characters after other characters I like or I just make them up. In Shin Megami Tensei games I always use the same protag name, which is my Chinese name.

05fb91 No.568

Bob, regardless of gender or character. Always Bob.

821ce9 No.571

>Paul 1967 Greek coup d'état

dunno, man.

81641f No.619

If there's a default name, I choose that.

If not, I have a made up name that I've been using for years now. I'm trying to stop using it, though.

1fdaed No.620

If I don't go default, I usually call myself Johny.

After watching Space Dandy I've started calling myself or my sidekick if I get one Dandy. I'm just really fond of that show.

Wit Multiplayer games, getting a unique name gets kinda difficult though. It usually ends up some variation of "Standard", "Default", "Username" or a reference to a chan gneral in-joke about the game if there is one.

92a5fa No.625

default/canon preferable

carathorg for fantasy

jackson for modern

a00594 No.629

At first I used my own name.

When my friend gave me PKMN Mystery dungeon for GBA the name already in use was "Bash". I started to use this name in other games for a while; about a year, but then moved on to a different name.

I don't know why, but when I was younger I tried to avoid the cringeworthy names like blazingshadowmaster24. I picked a more mature name which I still use online today.

I got a bit more creative with my alternate names. I used a different name every year or so, usually with an email to accompany said name.

I used names like Silver, and Damian for rival characters. I didn't like using "poophead" much.

I tried using the names of mythical people subtly, and enjoyed thinking up new names that sounded cool.

I also succeeded in finding a four letter easy to remember name which is never taken, because adding numbers after your prefered name always irritated me (on the internet).

These days I like being called anon.

*sigh*
time sure flies, huh?

sorry for unrelated stuff

f1f6d9 No.630

>>629
So you're fine with being referred to as "anonymous", and you don't mind having number appended to your name irl?

Model citizen.

a00594 No.632

>>630
No, I just don't bother with names so much anymore.

On the internet until a few years ago I always used the same four letter name.

When I say;
>These days I like being called anon.
I am refering to the fact that I have come to browse anonymous imageboards a lot; and rarely use a name.

"The more mature one I still use today" is on my e-mail address..

9c333b No.683

Grey. I don't know why but it's something that I have been doing since a very long time.

3169f1 No.687

I used to name them Silver, after my pkmn silver ver. protag that I sunk years into. Lately I've been exploring alternatives though, and I think that I've settled on Lux.

a8f178 No.704

I always found verbs appealing for use as names. I use 'Delay' whenever possible and I just add another word to it if it's taken in an mmo.

a8f178 No.705

>>629
I used to go for a weeab name I made using a jap name generator and combining the first and last names when I was younger.
For a little while I used NewlyCut[birthdate] to reference the fact that I recently got circumcised at the time.

66ebbd No.707

Bogart. First name, last name, doesn't matter.
>Oh Bogart-kun, won't you walk me home?
>B-Bogart-san! I wasn't expecting you here!

Recently I'm using HotDam. Especially for RPGs or text-heavy games. I Guess I'm childish enough to enjoy that kind of humor some times.

>>705
...what?

Are you from somewhere where they cut your dick when you're of age instead if ar birth? I know a turk that got his dick cut when he was 13 without anesthetic using rusty shears.

a8f178 No.736

>>713
Used to live in a religious country, my mom was pretty religious as well so she'd pester me to get baptized and circumcised when when I was like 12 or something.
So I was like 'Fine, whatever just get it over with, it's not like I give a shit about it anyway.' and bam circumcised. They could have cut off my dick back then and my only concern would have been how it'd affect how I take a piss.
Shortly after healing I got into fapping and because I'm a lazy cunt I always dry-fapped. So now my dick is almost always scabby on one side or sore because of how I'd sometimes pull so hard I rip the skin.
Seriously.

That hurt to read. ( ゚д゚)

a8f178 No.740

>>737
It's not as bad as you'd think, slightly pleasurable at this point.
What was painful though was when I dealt with that and accidentally fapped using hand soap thinking it was llube which, of course, I didn't wash off nor did I take a shower until the next day because I'm a filthy human being.
One full week of burning stinging dick and for the first half I had no idea why this was happening but I remember thinking to myself "If this is how I die then so be it.".
I still fapped through it though.

Go to bed, Kachou.

In shin megami tensei games, I used to think up some sensible Japanese name.

Now I just name them Bob Sapp. I still find it funny, several games later.
Bob-kuuuuun~
Oh! Sapp-senpai!

It worked pretty well for strange journey though.
