Author Topic: What Are Some Custom Character Names You've Picked Before?  (Read 1372 times)

In other words, what are some of the names, you have come up with when you are given the option In some video games that let you enter whatever you want?

I asked this question before on a different forum a long time ago, and most of the replies was that people use their online forum avatar's as a common name for their own game character.

In Wave Race 64 I re-named all the characters to names like "Wax Stew" "Reese Gees"  and another one I called "Mr. Fart" I can't remember the 4th one though.

after all we are probably going to be the only ones to see this, so why not make things creative and funny to ourselves?

While I try to keep accounts named along the same vein, I practically never repeat with character names. I also avoid anything obscene or stupid or directly naming after another character. Instead, after making the character, I stare at them, sounding out names until something just clicks.

For example, If I look through some of my Skyrim characters, I've got names like:

Kavnek Eristol
Locksly Robi
Purrin Ayanto
Thala Morren
Suvin Restro
Argo Earth-Crusher
Mashari Kalan

and so on.

If I don't have the option to pick the default name, I will always name my character "Hiro", since it's a real name but also sounds like "hero" which is fitting given  that you're playing as the main character.

I don't think I do too well with this.  Games like Zelda, I do Link.  Dragon Quest, I name the character after the entry number.  Games with default names I go default because I did custom once and it made following a walkthrough near impossible.  Only ones come to mind are the fallout/elder scrolls games.  I generally play as girl characters and pick girl names like Jennifer, Samantha, or something.  I think New Vegas I named my character Courier or Six.  If the game has any form of an online, I might just name my character Ignition.

The only custom name that comes to mind is the one I have been using recently for RPG games and that's Sabrix.

Sometimes, not every game but I do get creative, it's only a game that nobody sees but myself, probably. So why not have some fun sometimes? and make yourself laugh? it may seem childish. I usually respect Link from the Zelda Series because I think he's cool. But games like Wave Race 64 I just got creative when I found out how to customize character names

And I even named a custom Golf Courses in some of my Golf games a stupid name. I was mad that one game only so few logos to choose from, so I called one Course Deer Dung Country Club, and on another golf game my default character name is Gopher.

I’m not very creative when it comes to names. If there’s a default, like Link, I use it. Sometimes I use my given name. Once in Knights of the Old Republic I combined the syllables of my first and last names to make a new one.
