When you have the option to pick your name in-game, What do you choose?

[Urusaisenpai]

So, I always wondered what other people name there characters in-game? & What's the reasoning for it?
Your own? Some other guy? Completely fictional? XxXPussyDragonslayer69420DeptofSatanXxX?

I can start telling you guys that i can't use my own name in-game, for me i completely freaks me out for some reason.
So i adopted my own In-game persona. As a call "Yuuji". Every game that i have the opportunity to change my name i will add "Yuuji"
For me it feels right, Like it's my second name, as i have been using this for years and now i can't stop literally.

This name didn't pop up randomly because this is the name of my All-time Favorite character from one of my All-time Favorite Visual novel.

It's like i fused with person mentally. if you ask why let me explain.
This happened once and i will never forget it.
I will sitting outside and reading some Webtoon on my phone (

). And my brother started calling a name from a distance, a normal person would react and ask what's wrong but for this was completely opposite.
MY thought was like "who is this "Real name" guy? Can't he answer so i can keep reading, because my name is Yuuji" and then i dropped my phone.. I COMPELTELY had forgotton my own real name for a moment there. Super creepy since then it hasn't happen but it may be because i was focused reading the Webtoon but the thought of me forgetting my name tripped me for days.

So my question is? What do you use & why? If you using your own name that will be self-explanatory but if you use another name than your own, Whats the reaosn? :>

Something like "asdasd" because those letters happen to be nearby my left hands fingers when they're resting on the keyboard and a game asks me to input a string of letters.

I started out with something like xan (based on some character from aq worlds), then it turned into xed, then zed, and now finally I use Zedde, no clue why I keep changing it just do.

MC. Seriously. Dont know why just used to it I guess

 

[polywog]

I choose the default name. Before asking for names 20 times, it would be nice to ask first, do you want to name character or use default names.

 

[Mytez]

If it's an older dude: John.
If it's a young guy: Sam.
If it's a young guy that looks like a piece of shit: Max.

 

[Abîme]

Always the same : Ace, Ace Hall.

 

[anne O'nymous]

It depend of the situation and of what I already know about the MC. But I turn with fix names, three male, and two that works both for male and female, that are all pseudonyms from my previous lives.

I am sad. You were halfway to greatness and then somehow misspelled "Ventura"

On topic:
I usually use characters from my childhood. Cartman or Randy (from south park), Deadpool (from the cartoons, since the movies weren't out back then), or various sith lords from star wars (Revan, Malak, Nihilus). Most of the times though, I end up calling myself "Darkwing", cause if I need to pick a last name as well, I can simply add "Cuck"

Also, Darkwing Duck was an awesome cartoon.

 

[Mix@Xplore]

Always my own. Adds to the immersion for me.

 

[Snarddoom]

I always use "Juan" - if needed, with the family name of "Ovthoseguise" - as in "One of those Guys." lol

 

[heroready06]

I always go with "Hero". Seems generic enough. It (and my username) actually comes from a line I snagged from a sample of game development code:

heroReady = false;

Geyser of course, because the MC is always ready to erupt.

Chicken

 

[redknight00]

I just use Red since it's simple and works for both genders.

If it starts asking about naming others and relations I delete it.

I might not be the best coder in the world, but isn't the statement "false" usually represented by a value of 0?

So if you wanted to be "heroReady = false" then shouldn't your name be "heroready0" instead of "06" at the end?

Trollox for men
Trollop, Dildo Baggins for women.

George. Don't know why, seems to work.

Erm, this would me he isn't ready.
Perhaps something happens later on which switches false to true, indicating the hero is ready.

Sorry, OT
