Do you name them or keep the default name?

And if you name them, do you use fantasy names or names of real people?

When I was a kid I gave them the names of me and my friends but now I just keep the defaults

if you can fit the letters in, you could call a guy "you piece of shit" so when townsfolk talk to him they'll go, "You're our only hope, you piece of shit, please help us"

In oregon trail I would name them all after cute girls and not buy any clothes for the whole trip.

In rpgs I liked the "you piece of shit" idea. But I usually just named everyone after people I knew but like zain said, the first time through, I keep defaults...

I named my main characters Cecil for years, since FFII / IV was the best RPG ever. ;o I remember waking up my mom when I finally got a pink tail from the rare encounter on B5 of the crystal palace (1/64 chance of meeting them, then 1/64 chance of getting the tail). Naturally she didn't give a shit.

God that's embarrassing to see typed out. So. fucking. nerdy.

I keep a growing record of all the names of sorcerers, monsters, and creatures that I have met or slain in the game (more of a life than a game) of DnD. When I make a new character I choose a DnD beast that fought both fiercely and bravely, making me role the dice at least 4 times before I was finally victorious. I take the first syllable from their name out of respect and attach "ashimble" to the end of it.

If it allows a last name, I use the last name of the current head wizard of the chaotic-neutral plane (always changing).

I'm not embarrassed to be a nerd. I was embarrassed at the memory of waking up my *mother* to tell her I got a rare item during a marathon session of Final Fantasy II for the Super Nintendo. ;o There's being a nerd, and then there's.... that.

I always thought it was pretty standard to name your character nigger. Yes, no?

I always choose a fair maiden character and name them after Keira Knightley or Kate Beckinsale or characters they've played in movies(i.e. Elizabeth Swann).
