Naming conventions Options

[Accidentally The...]

And suggestions, for those games where the names make the character dialogue that much more fun!

What are some you've tried, thought of trying, and/or will try next time you play any certain game?

I kind of want to name everyone "I" next time I play a Final Fantasy game (like VII or IX) that allows it, just so the characters can sound self-absorbed, or like house-elves.

But if I were to start my Ocarina of Time file over (and I refuse), I'd have named Link "Zelda" just for the first scene at the castle.

Also, if anyone here has the first Suikoden, name the hero "Bates". It makes Gremio's dialogue... saucy.

(Or, in Suikoden II, give the hero, your army, and your HQ all the same name for maximum lols in the long run. I'd say why, but I have no idea how to make spoiler tags here.)

Thanks! It... seems so obvious now, but I never do know with BBcode tags sometimes.

Anyway,

Spoiler:
In Suikoden II, I believe either your castle or your army's name eventually becomes the name of the COUNTRY. So... you can effectively be a total narcissist and name the entire operation, and the country, after yourself. And burn your best friend in the process.

I kind of wish I'd given Steiner a funny name back when I started my Final Fantasy IX playthrough, if only for the ATE called "Queen Brahne's Steiner".
