Do you change the characters' names?

Kain -> Cain
Rydia -> Lydia (just looks prettier)
Tellah -> Tella (meh)
Edward-> Elbert (combination of Edward and Gilbert)

I changed my characters' names just about every time I spotted a Namingway. I can't remember what I would change the names to. They were always pretty stupid names, anyway.

I don't change names. I always stick with default names

No, I don't ever really change the characters' names, though on certain occassions on a second or third play-thru, I may call them stupid, humorous names, such as: POOP, BEEBOO, Jesus, Me, pr0n, Sirsuksalot, Bush, or things of that sort.

I've changed their names a few times in this game but, it never looked right. FFIV is probably the only FF I will never change the names in.

No, I never change names in FFIV.

Kain -> Cain
Rydia -> Lydia
Tellah -> Tella
Edward -> Gil
FuSoYa -> Fusuya

I kept to their default names.

I usually change the main characters name to my name for 2nd play-throughs of most FFs. First play through I stick to default.

I usually don't change their names and just keep the defaults. However, when I played the fan-translated Hard Type, I did the following changes: *prepares to get bashed by Zeromus and Kishi :D*

Cain --> Kain
Gilbert --> Edward
Tella --> Tellah

I'd have changed Golbeze to either Golbez or Golbeza, but he never joins your party, so you can't get to rename him.

I very rarely change character names in any of these games. I kept all the defaults in FFIV.

The only time I'll change a name is if it has an absolutely horrendous spelling that I can't stand at all (very rare)

whats for laughs i put a a in front of cecil to make cecila lol

I don't really see the reason of changing names. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, unless it was called a dungflower. Seriously, I usuallly don't change the names of characters' names because it ruins the story in my personal opinion.

for a joke i changed the names on my friend's copy to dirty words, the only one i can post is

Rosa= Booby

the guy didn't even change them back, i have a strange idea of humour dont i...

Cecil -> FF4
Rydia -> kicks
Edge -> so
Rosa -> much
Kain -> arse

:D
