Who actually named her Dagger?

[Raian the Fallen]

I've never met anyone who changed Garnet's name to Dagger. It just doesn't fit her in my opinion. I just keep her name Garnet.

[Kyros]

I sometimes leave it Dagger in playthroughs, but originally I gave her my own name that I wanted it to be

[Fynn]

I liked Dagger.

[Mirage]

It's always Garnet for me.

[Rantz]

I mostly keep Dagger even though I'm not a big fan. On occasion I've changed it back to Garnet, and other times I've given her back her original name, Sarah.

[Gamblet]

Well, I kept her as Dagger until I did the sidequest at the Eidolon Wall, then I named her (SPOILER)Sarah. But then it got too weird and I changed her name back to Dagger.

[Depression Moon]

I did on at least one playthrough. Keeping default names feel more authentic or cannon to me.

[Remon]

I did.
Dagger is sexier.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

When I was a kid I would always name my characters after people I knew in real life, but now at the ripe old age of 20 I just leave them with their default names. The only exception that I can think of is Tidus in FFX, because they never say his name anyway.

It's weird to go back to an old save file and see that you named the main female in the game after a girl you had a crush on in the 3rd grade.

[MJN SEIFER]

I usually rechanged it to Garnet. Having a change her name made no sense to me even in storyline to be honest.

[Depression Moon]

You know that she was a princess right and everyone on that continent knew her name?

[Hollycat]

Lyrica is what I've always called her

[Carl the Llama]

I never named her Dagger, can't stand the "name", games that name people after normal household items always gets my back up (Dart from Legend of the Dragoon anyone?) I played LotD just before XI and then I expected a stream of item names for people, I thought next thing it would be Bottle or Sieve or some equally weird name.

[Freya]

I often just spelled her name backwards. Reggad heh

[Jiro]

Bottle or Sieve or some equally weird name.

I can dig Sieve

I named her Dagger because I could not be bothered trying to think up a better alias. It also worked better when she cuts her hair an all that jazz. She's all like "can I have that dagger, you know the one" and it has less of an effect if they were like "how about THIS NAME INSTEAD K?"
