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.)

For most of the games I play, I name people regularly, nothing bad. Whenever I name someone for the Elder Scrolls, I run off to find a suitable name for the race I pick. For animals in HM games I name them simple things like Woola, Henny, and Moomoo.
With Sims I pick whatever comes first to my head if I don't really care, and if I just want to check something out quickly, I usually give the person a name like xawslkmwaet or just js.

Link's always named Link, and for names that don't really matter (like flash games I've been playing) I've recently taken to naming my person Marmalade. :d

For some reason I don't like doing the thing of pokemon, and naming your person "Master". :d
