and in this case, when i play H games i use Baitch as my main name

Usually sth. like Goeffel (original Göffel might crash some games, but typically is not even available)

most recent male MC :

1st run : Goeffel - does not work, max 6 letters. :-< so:
1st run : Depp (German, meaning: twat)
NG+ : Derp (well, derp)
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
NG+2 : could not think of sth. close to Depp/ Derp, so Doedel (originally Dödel, German, same both meanings as American: putz)

For the most part I do tend to name the protagonist after myself. I like to be part of the game experience it.

Generally Dave/Amy Turner. Names chosen because I have no emotional connection to them. I really dislike seeing my own name in the game (especially when the protagonist is a git).

Same for me, I either put my name in or just press ENTER and find myself named with the default choice.

If it's a game I don't take seriously, I'll give it a silly name like potato-eater-69, but I usually use my own name.

Dick Tugboat. It gives me a layer of separation from the protagonist for when he does something stupid or rancid, and if someone asks me to share a save file I can usually make 'em laugh when I show it to 'em.

I don't ever use my name; I just leave it to the game's default name. If a game doesn't provide one, the MC is probably just a self-insert with no real character, so I just name it Player.
