Garnet vs. Dagger

[Midgar Mist]

Don't you just hate the name Dagger? What was Garnet (and by extension Square) smoking when she/they came up with that?

Yessss. My first few playthroughs I changed her name back to Garnet (My new name will be Garnet!)
My current playthrough is the first time I actually changed it to fit the story. I went with Claire. Still a pretty name for a pretty girl, but good enough for a disguise.

I love the conversation if you name her something else.

"So this is a dagger?"
"Yeah, a dagger."
"A dagger, hmmm..."
"Yeah, a dagger."
"Alright, I've chosen my name. I'm going to be Betty."

It's fine as a cover name. I rename her Garnet.

[Karifean]

Her cover name will always be Lili to me.

[Sephiroth]

I am calling her Sarah and that's it.

[Midgar Mist]

I am calling her Sarah and that's it.

Of course I mean, that is her real name after all. She was 6 when she left so surely you'd think she'd at least have a faint memory of that. Therefore NOT call herself Dagger.

I can never bring myself to call her Dagger. Although I don't go for Garnet, I'm not up for a laugh that way.

I like Dagger but I usually name them after people I know or characters in my book or something. I thought it was dumb at first too but now I just... I dunno, it's grown on me!

[Depression Moon]

My first time playing I did, but I'm fine with the name now.

I don't have a problem with calling her Dagger. Sometimes I even come up with nicknames for Dagger and call her something like Dag. It'd also be interesting if she took the alias Sarah as that's her birth name.

here too.

Dag nabbit (pun intended), now I need to come up with a new nick for her. Then again, Aki (from FF: TSW) and Juhani (from Star Wars: KotOR) are both male names in Finland, while both of those characters are female.
