What do you call your characters?

[Stupid Moomba 88]

Hi, I'm the Stupid Moomba, and I'll be asking questions throughout all the forums! This Topic,
What are your characters called?

Cloud: Jake
Barrett: Matt
Tifa: Claire
Aeris: Kate
Red XIII: Hell
Cait Sith: Moggle
Vincent: David
Cid: Gray
Yuffie: Sasha

Please tell me what you call your Characters! I will reply as much as I can!

[ZeZipster]

Yuffie is the bestests.

Vincent is NOT A david.

[Flying Mullet]

The default names.

[Stupid Moomba 88]

Vincent is a David! Also Yuffie is good too!
Using the default names is no problem, I suppose, it depends if you actually like the names on default.

I do, otherwise I wouldn't use them. There's not much of a point in using the default names if you don't like them.

[Stupid Moomba 88]

Too True.

[Blackphoxx]

I also chose to stick with the default names...guess it's a habit cause I rarely change them for other games, including other FF....well, with few exceptions.

Never liked the XIII (13) after Red's name...so he's Red Talon. I like it better and it's a name of something else in another RPG, non video game.

I like Vincent just because I found his background story, what little I could garner and piece together and guess at, to be rather involved and interesting.

But then again....a smart a$$ is one thing, a bad a$$ is another...but both at the same time? Yeah, well....Cid's just cool like that

Will have to say I don't bring Cait Sith into the group unless I absolutely have to or near the point I'm at now, where all are lvl 99...and he was the last one left. Otherwise, won't get near 'em

[Erdrick Holmes]

Cloud=Joel
Barret=Defaul name
Tifa=Kailey
Aeris=Defaul
Red XIII=Dante
Cait Sith= Faust
Vincent= Testament
Cid= Johnny
Yuffie= May

Guess the sorce of all of those names and you get a prise.

[NM]

All as defaults for me, except Red XIII I remove the numerals and just call him Red.

[Loony BoB]

Cloud: BoB
Barrett: Duke
Tifa: Angela
Aeris: Alicia (I think...)
Red XIII: Rastus (not sure if that's right, but it's what I'd use now and might be what I used then)
Cait Sith: Tombo
Vincent: Forgot. Might have been Vincent. *shrugs*
Cid: Cid (HOW CAN YOU NOT?)
Yuffie: Krissy

The chocobos that I remember were called Jax (Gold) and Jake (Black). I think I might've called the Blue & Green ones Sapphire and Emerald, but I'm not sure. I haven't played this game in ages. *just got the PSX version recently, should play it sometime this weekend, hopefully*

[HOOTERS]

Barret: Fatty
Aeris: Nina
Tifa: Britney
Red XIII: Skyla
Cait Sith: TBone
Cid: Kramer
Vincent: 8Ball
Yuffie: Xena

Though nowadays I use such names as myballs and poohead.

[Blackphoxx]

Oh yeah...the Chocobos.


Blue: Mysen
Green: Kyler
Black: Kage
Gold: Abadon


.....yeah, well...the blue and green were just sorta made up between me and a six yr old. Kage, pronounced KA GAY is Japanese for Shadow, I think
..Abadon was supposed to be Abaddon, but not enough space. A name I pulled outta Hebrew lore....

[Erdrick Holmes]

1st great Male Chocobo: Choco A
1st great female: Choco B
Green: Greeny
Blue: Bluie
Black: Blacky
Gold: Goldie

[zacks_clone]

Chocobos:

First two yellow ones were CHOCO and Coco(boy,girl)
Blue:Blue( i think)
Green:Green( i think)
Black:Dusk
Gold:Dawn

Dusk and Dawn is an rpg character of a friend of mine.

As far as the charcaters names go...they stay the same.I only changed red 13 to Red once.thats it.

[Erdrick Holmes]

For future referense when I play ANY rpg and get to rename characters I rename the hero 'Joel' and the main heroine who falls in love with the hero (the Rinoa or Tifa) Kailey

[Liquid Glass]

I once named them in my first file, the first time I played:

Cloud=MYNAME REAL NAME IN ALL CAPS
tifa=LADY
aeris= FLOWER ( I dont think I saw the lower case letters)
Red XIII= Red X (not 10, just X like Xtreme, I continue to name him that now)
Cait Sith= Cait sith
Cid=Cid
Vincent=Vincent
yuffie=Yuffie

In ff9 I called Vivi Vincent, and that stuck so well, I get confused sometimes when people refer to vincent in ff7 and not my vincent in ff9. I name them default now, except of Red XIII

My chocobos, which I finally have in my 6th file

male=male1
female=female1
black=Smoke
blue=Sea
Green=Mountians
Gold=Rooter

Then to try and get the fastest chocobo, I took my black one and my gold one and made them have another chocobo, who was Gold, and he turned out with the fastest speed, I think it was like 700 something..I think....

[Stupid Moomba 88]

I forgot about the chocobos. Umm, I think that I called them:
Blue: Sea
Green: Grass
Black: Night
Gold: Sunny

How Original is that? I like the chocobos and I always name them after something that relates to their colour.

[Cloudane]

Default names. I like them (even if they sounded a bit weird at first!) and they seem to somehow fit in.

And Barrett trying to shoot down a helicopter... after many years of seeing TV adverts for Barratt Homes, that just amused me :D

Apart from that it makes them easier to discuss if you're all referring to the same names.

[Lost]

I kept default names my first time, then all the subsequent times I changes Red XIII to Nanaki. I felt he was deservant of that name.

[Cloudane]

I thought the same, but it does get a bit weird...
"Hojo called me Nanaki, a name of no meaning to me. Call me what you wish."
"Who's Nanaki?"
"Nanaki is Nanaki, that's his name..."
etc!

[Angel_Eyes]

I chose Vincent. He's hot, plus he's all mysterious and anguished ^_^

I kept their names all default. Except ONCE I think I called Barret "Mr T". Yeah, couldn't help myself.

I call Red XIII just Red. He shouldn't have a number. Nasty Hojo

[Breine]

Usually I just call them by their default names, but when I call them something different it's sometimes something weird... For example:

Cloud: Blade
Aeris: Holy
Tifa: Darling
Barret: Brother
Cait Sith: Toy
Vincent: Mystic
Cid: Airborn
Yuffie: Thija (Thief and Ninja)
Red XIII: Killer

As said this is just an example. Other times I actually give them some fair names... :D

[Female Ryuichi]

I had a game when I called everyone Sephiroth. There was some funny talks in that game :D

[Jack]

people...

CLOUD-Jack
BARRETT- Will
TIFA-Tina
AERIS-Sophie
RED XIII- Rage
CAIT SITH-Flopsy
CID-Chris
VINCENT-Mark
YUFFIE-Lyra

Chocobo.....

BLUE-Azure or Loki
GREEN-Emerald or Xaphania
BLACK-Morpheus & Trinity
GOLD-Neo & Jam

[Cloudane]

I had a game when I called everyone Sephiroth. There was some funny talks in that game

LOL! Darn you, that's another excuse for me to replay FF7 for the billionth time :p

[Shoeberto]

I know I renamed Barret as Trigger once, but I can't remember any others.

[Lehteb]

I named Cloud after me the first time I played, other than that the chocobos were the only unique names

they were creative, if i do say so myself

Regular Male Chocobo : ChocoM
Regular Female Chocobo : ChocoF
Blue Male Chocobo : BlueM
Blue Female Chocobo : BlueF
Green Male Chocobo : GreenM
Green Female Chocobo : GreenF
Black Chocobo : Blacky
Gold Chocobo : Goldie

I amaze myself sometimes...

"Nanaki is Nanaki, that's his name..."He says "Nanaki is Nanaki" regardless of whether you call him Nanaki or something else, I believe.

Anyway, I use the default names for all of them except Red XIII, for whom I use Nanaki. And I'm voting for Yuffie, I guess, since I like her character the most. Cloud is easily the best character in battle, tho'.

Edit: Wtf, Cid has no votes. That's a travesty. >:O

They're from some play. Dantes Infreno I think.

ANway, I always use defualt.

[Kahless]

I go with default names.

My chocobos were named after chars from other games.

so I had
yellow male = Zidane
Yellow Female = Garnet
Blue F = Rikku
Blue F = Yuna
Green F = Lulu
Blue M = Wakka
Black M = Auron.
Still looking for Goldie.

[Nova Dragon]

I just go with the default names - not very original but meh.

[Yrkoon]

i stick to defaults mostly :)

cloud : Kevin
barret : barret
vincent : vincent
yuffie : yuffie
tifa : tifa
red xiii : red x
cait sith : Cat Shit

:)

[Starcrest]

Cloud=Orion,
Every1 else, the defaults cept Barett, I call him Beefy, hehe

[Angel_Reaper]

Beefy....lol that cute.

Cloud - Spike
Tifa - Shakira
Barret - Dinky
Aeris - Angel (not after me just she is such a good person)
Yuffie - Hattie
Vincent - Vincy
Cid - Machan
Cait Sith - Charmaine (which my friend will kill me if she found out lol)

Chocobos
Green - Envy
Blue - Sea
Black - Demon (m) Demona (f)
Gold - Sunny

[Starcrest]

Spike, my friend is like upsesed with that name, odd, but true, kinda like how i'm upsesed with Orion, but, hey, who really cares.

[Vash_The_Stampede]

I go Default names the first way through.. it makes it easier to talk about the games with others.. i made the mistake of calling Steiner from IX "Tumolt" after the marine captain in a game called "BioForge" and ever since then i called him Tumolt in conversation and everyone thought i was retarded.

[Starcrest]

Tumolt, interesting, I called Steiner Rusty, since Zedain, Orion in my game, calls him it ne way

Obsessed?? oh brother. :rolleyes2 Well i thought Spike was a good name for Cloud but for right now I am calling him Scorpio. Strange I know.

[Starcrest]

Yes, obsessed, but, Spike's a good name for him, since he's called Spiky headed freak, or something along those lines,

[Angel_Reaper]

Dont forget Barette saying " DOnt hurt your spikey a$$"

[Starcrest]

yeah, that's what I was thinking of,

[Angel_Reaper]

i think he called him a spikey head freak as well. Or i could be wrong. :( Which i hope i am not. :mad:

[Starcrest]

I don't know what he called him, but, I think he did call him that. I'm not sure

[AllLuckySevens]

I prefer to use the default names, but in my first save game my brother called Cloud "Goku" (because of the yellow hair or something) GRRR!

[Prince-magus]

the first time through i use the defaults. but...

the second time through
cloud:leon
barret: smoke
tifa:tena
aeris:bonnie
red XIII:crimson claw
cid: cid( i love cid already)
yuffie:cynthia
vincent: faust. great play
cait sith. dumbass

the third time through i named them all after my self and my freinds

cloud: loren
Barret: james
Tifa: jessica
Aeris: felicia
red:cleo- my best freinds dog :-)
cid: Q short for quinton
vincent:justin
cait sith: sean- my archnemisis.

[Shlup]

I always use the default names the first time, and then I change 'em the second time. I haven't played VII for a few years though... don't remember what I named anyone. I know I changed Cloud's name 'cause its too fruity for my tastes.

[SeanFThomas]

Personally, I just keep their names at default. But one time I felt bored...and it was very entertaining! Get this! It might be confusing to newbies, but to seasoned players, try naming everyone of your characters Sephiroth.

Oh! I actually name Red XIII Nanaki. That makes the scene when his real name is exposed a little humorous because after Red XIII being Nanaki throughout the game thus far, he's going, "Who's Nanaki?" Maybe it's just me. Don't listen to me.

[Female Ryuichi]

I had a game when I called everyone Sephiroth. There was some funny talks in that game :D

Fun...must continue that one :P

[Flashback007]

Cloud: Jenson (After Jenson Button, F1-driver)
Barrett: Harm (After Harm Rabb, JAG)
Tifa: Maxima( Future queen of the NL)
Aeris: Jane (Just for fun) or Miranda (Again for fun)
Red XIII: Bin Laden (Ah, do I really have to explain)
Cait Sith: Michelin (The tire, because he is so fat)
Vincent: Michael (Michael Schumacher or Michael Boogerd, choose yourself)
Cid: Gary (Gary Hobson, from Early Edition)
Yuffie: Dana (From the X-Files)

My Chocobo's all got the nicknames of F1-drivers.

[Starcrest]

Rabb, good choice, but, I think Cid would be, cause ya know, they both like flying, but, that's my opion on the matter

[Nanaki]

Red XIII is my favourite. :) And I don't rename them, I like the default names. :D
