Thanks guys... I've calmed down a bit...
About the naming conventions:
- Usually the default name
- Unless it's something stupid or silly
- Then there's some Dean, some Sam, some Neil, some Trent...
- If the game is set in an Asian setting it's almost always Li...
- BUT
- If it is Name and Surname, then it's ALWAYS, Peter Parker.
The why's are diverse. Mostly I couldn't care less what is the name of the MC. Except if the Dev call him Chad or Eric, or something stupid/silly.
There's one other thing, even when the game is in the first person, I never self insert. You see, I SUFFER from an heightened empathy. I cry real tears watching the fucking News, or a fucking singing contest. I empathize WAY too much without even trying to self insert.
I've only allowed myself the mistake of opening myself to ONE story here. LoF. Never, ever, ever, again. I don't regret it, no. But I will NOT put myself at such a risk again. That time it went... let's say... kinda well. But, I had alarm bells ringing for weeks. I am always VERY close to a depression, I can't risk it... I really can't. So, no self inserts for me. So, the name, is rather unimportant.
If you look at the names I usually choose, you can guess where they come from... I just swap fictional characters...
And again, I managed to make a stupid ass post about nothing important...
Mark Marks, our MC, is a good enough alliterate name, worthy of a Hollywood A-Lister. I saw no reason to even consider changing the Dev chosen names.
Peace
