sometimes i use names from other games *Fayt, Dart, Zell, Albel* or i'll use names either from 'on the spot' naming or from names in my stories like in tactics

name: Rhoan *from story Lord of the Crimson Night*
chocobo: Fayt
trusted dragoon: Faris
trusted geomancer:Zell
trusted knight:Rose
*trusted means people that are on my team*
i also come up with random names like Sasquach, or names that have nothing to do with the game, suck as PIKACHU
