    Steiner could be Rusty. Amarant could be Sideshow Bob. Zidane could be Monkey Butt. I'm done. Phew.

    Zidane: Blank
    Vivi: No. 288
    Garnet: Brahne
    Steiner: Beatrix
    Freya: Fratley
    Quina: Quale
    Eiko: Mog
    Salamander: Lani

    I only set them to this using the Namingway guy when I got bored of looking at their default names while grinding Grand Dragons, but I guess it could make a few scenes nice and confusing if you used them from the start.

    I also change Garnet's name to Sarah after making that revelation at Madain Sari, even though it kind of screws up the whole "Bring my beloved Dagger to me" line in the ending. :dagger:

    In my last playthrough I renamed Dagger as Garnet because I'd really grown to dislike the name Dagger, regardless of its symbolism.

    Otherwise, I'm a boring sod and tend to keep them as their defaults. I'm pretty sure Nemesis the Warlock mentioned in the past that he would name Amarant 'Bumrash' so that he would introduce himself as 'The Flaming Bumrash.'
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    I did this my very first time through the game, following the lead of a couple other people at EoFF. Again, it kind of muddled the symbolism, but "Dagger" just hadn't grown on me yet.

    FFXIV Character

    Freya Meow (Sargatanas)

    Default

    I can't stand the name Dagger, I always change that one.

    One time I named everyone their default names backward.

    Zidane = Enadiz
    Dagger = Reggad
    Vivi = Iviv
    Steiner = Reniets

    Etc, etc

    Also when I was younger I named Salamander, Homo so he'd be The Flaming Homo.

    I usually name Amarant Red. Could be fun to call him Lips, though.

    I didn't like the name Dagger, so I renamed her Garnet.

    I mostly stick with defaults but sometimes I get on weird kicks where I pick weird names: Lithium, Truce, Magna, etc. Of course, pocketing that Namingway card for future revisions is always a good idea. Pretty fun to load up old saves and see what kind of renaming went on back then.
