    You could always name Edgar "Mullet", because he kinda looks like he has one.

    When my cousin first started playing FFVI (his first rpg) he renamed Terra, 'Farthead' as a joke, not knowing he couldn't change the name later. Turned out that he ended up finishing the game, (since he liked it so much) with Farthead winning the last battle. *sigh* Other than that, I always keep the default names.
    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don't care, I'm still free
    You can't take the sky from me
    Take me out to the black
    Tell them I ain't comin' back
    Burn the land and boil the sea
    You can't take the sky from me
    There's no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    But you can't take the sky from me...

    I named my characters the two and only times I've ever tried to play ff1 after my friends. who all have four letter names/nicknames so it's all good anyways. Aust, Matt, Rick, and Deri.

    I changed aeris' name to aerith (didn't work, I still think of her as aeris) when I started ff7, and one game I had Tidus as T'Kevil (never finished that one.. wonder why) after my friend's boyfriend (kevin) and started naming the aeons after her cats (Sierra, Boogerbear)

    Usually I like the originals frioniel who doesn't fit all the way!

    (I enjoyed naming my chocobos in ff7 after my favorite characters I decided to change in the middle though, so I have a good yellow one named squall that I refuse to throw out until I get my ultimate gold chocobo--rinoa (. . . I screwed up and named my first female chocobo boko. Leave me alone:P) there are others such as locke, rydia, yuna, pants (for tidus, because that's what my dad calls him), auron, terra, and maria, and when I get around to it, nooj as goldie #3 I like chocobos.)

    "Farthead" doesn't fit the spaces they provide you.

    yeh i dont really change the name's either ..i dint know that u couldent rename them back either so when i named own name as apposed to cloud in my first ff...it was soooooooo annoying throught out the game..oh in ff9 when u had to rename Garent as Dagger ..i just renamed her Garnet lol..yeha well..um dats it.......
    You know you're obsessed with FF when...:laughing:
    1) You yell at the characters. i.e "Cloud, what the heck do you think you're doing?!"
    2) You praise the characters and/or tell them you love them. i.e "Oh yeah, Squall!"or"Nice save Tidus!"
    3)You start to dress/talk/act like the characters and/or pick up their habits i.e saying ...'whatever' half the time,randomly pointing your finger in the air when you talk to someone,ect
    4) You talk about the characters as if you know them. i.e "Oh yeah, I think Cloud and Tifa should get together."or" Seifer such a big jerk!”
    5) When you're playing FF and someone asks what you're doing you reply "saving the planet".
    6) You mistakenly refer pounds/dollars/euros as Gil afew times.
    7) When you grow up you want to be a -SeeD/ Shinra Soldier/ Galbadian Soldier/ member of SOLDIER/ Sorceress/ Choco Sage/ Garden Master/President of Shinra Inc./ Turk/ Scientist/Summoner/Mage/White Mage/Sephiroth
    8) You wondered (or wished) one (or more) of the following:
    --You knew did know (and /or)knew someone as cute as Squall/Cloud/Irvine/Sephiroth/Vincent/Tidus ect,Tifa/Aerith/Yuffie/Rikku/Yuna/Rinoa/Selphie ect
    -You could go to Garden instead of school
    -You could play Blitzball in PE
    -You could drive the Ragnarok/Highwind
    - Chocobos roamed the forests near your house.
    -You wish you could use magic/materia/GF's/summons/Materia
    -You had a limit break

    He must have spelled it incorrectly. If you knew him, you could understand how a 17 year-old could manage that. Just curious, how many spaces are you provided with then? Want to know how badly he butchered it.

    I almost always keep the default names. Ocassionaly, I'll change the main character's name to my name, just so it feels more like I'm a part of the story, but that's it.

    FF7 is an exception. Since I've played that game god knows how many times, every now and then I'd change up the characters names. One time I named them all after my friends. Another time I named them all after Dragon Ball Z characters. :sweatdrop (forgive me, I was young)

    In FF1, since there are no default names, I usually name them something that resembles another FF character's name. Like, I'll name the fighter Kane (reference to Kain), the black belt Ying (reference to Yang), ect.

    I name my characters after parts of my anatomy and then I hack the game and change the monster names to parts of the female anatomy.

    That way I can play FF4 for a while and then call my mom and tell her I was in the Mist Cave beating on "Twat"s with "Dong" and "Danglers" and I leveled up.

    I like to name mine after my favorite foods. And sometimes my favorite Swearwords. And sometimes, I just call them by what their hair looks like. And one time, I called everybody their normal names, but just added FACE to the end. Like, CloudFACE, BarretFACE, TifaFACE. Just that, I think Red XIII Ended up being something like, Red XIIIFAC Like that. But it was still cool.

    I usually name the Main character Red and leave the rest default. My video game persona is ALWAYS Red. It has been for years, ever since the days of Dragon Warrior, Crystalis and Final Fantasy I. When Pokmon became popular and the main character of Pokmon Red's default name was Red, it aggrivated me. Sometimes I name my Rival Bleu (after Shining Force I's Dragon, NOT Pokmon again). Yes Bleu, like the cheese.
