You know what? I leave them the same.
Except Vivi, I name him Vincent. It just feels right.

I named my characters:
Zidane: Dalton
Garnet/Dagger: Justine
Vivi: Vivi, my bro named him Baldur, for some reason that seems to fit
Steiner: Steiner
Freya: Freya
Eiko: Sierra
Amarant: I don't remember, I think I just kept it Amarant
Zidane -> Sidney
I absolutely hate the name "Zidane" so I chose a name that I like but still sounds similar to the original name.
Vivi -> Vivo
In Scandinavia "Vivi" can be a female name and he is something similar to a male so I took the name from the Swedish food chain which sounds more suitable for a male. But I've watched a lot of "The Young Ones" lately so I might name him "Vyvyan" or “Vivian” the next time.
Garnet -> Bowie
David Bowie supposedly took his name from a knife/dagger as well.
Freya -> Freja
I just don't like the anglo spelling of the name.
Eiko -> My
In reference to the short and angry character "Little My" from the Moomin/Mumin Valley.
I've only named my characters something else than the default one time. So I'll give you all a list of the names :D
Here ya go!
Zidane: Nadim
Garnet: Duariel
Steiner: Ikanhan
Vivi: Tsuh
Freya: Mekia
Quina: Quel
Amarant: Cetus
Eiko: Loola
i generally dont change the names in every game, but i always to change steiner's to BUBBA.
dunno.. he just looks like a BUBBA. :rolleyes2
Yea The Moomins!!! Sorry :) any way in all Final Fantasy GAmes i Call the main charecter Matt (me) and the main charecters 'love interest' (sorry for the strange use of words) Claire (my wondertful wonderful girlfriend) :) the rest i usually leave the same. appart from in FF7..... but thats a none related post :)
Well, the first time I play through, I like to leave the names as they are, but the second or third time around? Nah, it's too much to resist by then. Compromise is good <3.
Anyway...
Zidane: Jitan
Garnet: Ada (From Ada or Ardor by Nabocov; Garnet looks like Ada.)
Steiner: Nalpk (An anagram of "Plank" I first gave to Tidus in FFX.)
Vivi- Mouche (A term used by a famous French transvestite to describe the silk flowers on his dresses.)
Quina: Spoot (Meaning "drat" or "sub-par"; from The Angry Beavers.)
Freya: Absinth (Which should have an e at the end. I just like the word.)
Eiko- Tot (German for "dead" also one of the characters in Weiss Kreuz.)
Amarant- Useless
Of course, for round three, I might have to try some new things. I like a LOT of the suggestions here. Especially Breine's.
I called them like this:
Zidane: Xander. All my main guys are called Xander! Well Zidane was the first :)
Garnet: Flick. I dunno why. I just liked it.
Eiko: Misty.
Steiner: Arthur. It suited him.
Amarant: Neo. (red hair)
Freya: Billie (she looked like a goat :p)
And that's all I changed I think...

Thanks ^_^
I like to keep te names.... I don't think that shows a lack of imagination on my part but rather an apreatiation for the imagination of the story writers....
I find that the names suit the characters and also have added meaning some times...
At least I don't change them the first time through....
Once I have gone through once the characters are liable to get stuck with all sorts of names ranging from:
Lestat (A Vampire in Anne Rice Novels)
Frodo (Hobbit in Lord of the Rings)
Maiku (A name I created.....)
Legolas(ANother Lord of the rings character)
Cecil (FF4 Character name)
Just Some of the names my main char ends up with....
