Naming characters in games

[KentaRawr!]

In games without defaults, I tend to name the main character after an internet name I've had, and depending on the amount of name-able characters I might name the rest after friends of mine or just other internet names of mine. I do the same thing with games where there are defaults but the characters themselves don't have much personality, like Final Fantasy 3 and Ogre Battle.

As for all caps, it kinda depends. If I'm remembering correctly, in FF5 you can only name Bartz. So, I would love to give him some lower-case letters up in there, but the rest of the playable cast can't be renamed. So in that case I'd just keep him as BARTZ. But I have the worst memory ever, so I'm probably remembering wrong.

I've been naming a lot of my mains Tori recently.

Tori Commander of GDI
Tori the Nord from Skyrim
Tori the Explorer (lol) from KotOR
Tori the Pokemon Trainer
Tori the Hunter, Dark Souls
Tori the Hero of Time.

Poor guy, not having a fairy and growing up with a girl's name. Life must have been tough for him.

I tend to use default when available ( we all had that exception with Barrett as Mr. T though, I'm sure ). If I have to name a character like one for a MMO or something....there goes half the dang day.

Rarity the Ponyta ( I has a shiny)

Not Twilight Sparkle?

I can't see that picture.

No, Twilight would be a good name for a non-shiny rapidash.

Also, I've actually caught 2 shiny ponyta's, and I will never evolve either because shiny rapidash is ugly.

I envisage something like Robot Unicorn Attack when I try to think about a shiny Ponyta.

If I am starting a pokemon game, I always name Gary DICKWAD.

If I get enough letters for my characters, I call them THRILLHO and MILPOOL.

If I've just managed a really excellent score on an arcade game and it wants me to input three letters, I choose KEA.

Hello SPUUKY, I'm posting in your THREAD. I just laughed and you asked what I was laughing at, and I answered "NOTHING". But yeah, it was DICKWAD.

I like sticking to themes these days, if I change them at all.
