    Default In RPGs where they let you name the characters

    Do you name them or keep the default name?

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

    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 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).
