Fun With Naming

[Madame Adequate]

Have you ever given your character(s) dumb names because it amuses you?

I am eight years old:

While not dumb per se, I did name Cloud Tori in my last FFVII playthrough, so when I got to the part where Aerith calls him "Miss Tori" I got a good chuckle out of it.

i nickname my guys all the time. Edward was called wimpy in FF iV. i called quina Licky in ff ix. Cait sith was called puffer ( though i just called him that because of the moogle. didnt think about it sounding like he smoked weed or anything until after he died lol )

I once named the hero in DQVIII "Titmouse" because he had a pet mouse & it had the word tit in it.

I once named Gau "Gay" just so he could say "I'm Gay, I'm your friend!".

Oh immaturity...

Nah.

Fire Emblem already used that one.

Suddenly I feel compelled to play all of Fire Emblem.

I had a friend in high school who I was doing a playthrough of VII with just so we could catch all of the weird, silly things in the game. I feel like we did this a couple of times and both times we gave the characters silly names just so that it would make for amusing dialogue. I sadly cannot remember them though!

I also like giving Tidus names such as "Boy", "You", and "Him." That way people refer to him by name occasionally.

I always name Vivi after myself and my boyfriend/crush at the time Quina because they are the two best characters and also they get married




sharky wasn't as happy with being Quina

I give animal party members like Red XIII pet names. Like the last time I played VII, he was Buttons. And I named Freya, Scabber.

No, but my friend in high school sold me his copy of Secret of Mana where all the characters were named DIKHED, DIKFET, DIKNOS or something like that on one of the files. I've never erased it either. My favorite was when we played Worms and he had a team called Jesus Christ's Best Friend League and proceeded to name each Worm something like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao... you get the picture.

All... the... time...

It makes reading the text much more fun.

[Polnareff]

Go ahead and play FFVII and name everyone "Sephiroth."

I dare you.

Would that constitute a lexical ambiguity or just straight insanity? xD

I rarely rename characters, though I did see a Pokemon video in which the guy playing called himself "I never". So, "I never used a Poke ball" and so on. Quite enjoyed that!
