What do you call your characters?

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....

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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

people...

CLOUD-Jack
BARRETT- Will
TIFA-Tina
AERIS-Sophie
RED XIII- Rage
CAIT SITH-Flopsy

VINCENT-Mark
YUFFIE-Lyra

GREEN-Emerald or Xaphania
BLACK-Morpheus & Trinity

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

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

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...

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

I go with default names.

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.
