Do you change the characters' names?

[undnce]

I don't like to change my name, I like sticking to the story.

[Bahamut2000X]

I never change thier names, unless I'm really bored. When I was younger I would just change my name in real life for a few days. >.>

Oh the looks on my teachers faces when I told them my new name was Palom. XD

[Sephex]

I used to do it when I was a kid, but only to the "final party".

Cecil- Aragon
Kain- Sarian
Rydia- Valkri
Rosa- Kirita
Edge- Samuri

I just keep the default ones now.

[Sefie1999AD]

Cecil- Aragon

That gave me an idea of LotR-based names:

Cecil - Aragon
Kain - Bormir
Rosa - Arwen
Rydia - Eowyn
Tellah - Teoden
Edward - Farmir (or Frodo)
Palom - Pippin (Merry could also do, but I think Pippin messes around more)
Porom - ??? (wasn't Rosie the hobbit girl? she could do)
Yang - Leglas
Cid - Gimli
Edge - Eomer
FuSoYa - Gandal

Choosing between Theoden and Gandalf for Tellah and FuSoYa was quite tough, and so was choosing Legolas and Eomer for Yang and Edge. The Ninjas of Eblan are specially trained people, and so are elves, so I could have named Edge Legolas, but I eventually thought that Edge's rash personality isn't like Legolas'.

I changed Cecil's name to "BALLS", a long time ago, when I was very young and very immature. Nothing interesting came of it until Golbez sent Kain to kill Cecil, and Kain said to Rosa, "I'll show you that I'm better than your sweet BALLS!"

[NINJA_Ryu]

Heh, i like a cid-gimli ^ ^

but i concur with the others

stick to default first time, change the next few times

[Nerevarine]

wow thats wierd, i change rydia to lydia too cuz i dont like to of my characters with the same first letter of there name (rosa and rydia).

guess im a little bit of a nerd but o well

[The Unknown Guru]

I like naming everybody Cecil. Even better, .

Oh, and Edward is always Ed.

[Martyr]

I changed everybody's names the first time I realized that it was an option.

But then I changed them back, except for Cecil, because I don't like the name. I also renamed Yang. He looks blacker than he looks Asian, so I give him the obscure name "Tyson" after one of the best boxers with a short friggin' reach of the 20th century.

[feioncastor]

Did anyone else think it's funny when you talk to the people in the beds at the infirmery (I think in Giott's castle), and one guy says "G..Golbez", and the next says, "They even have monsters on their side...", and then you're expecting something else all depressing, but the next guy says, "Would you like to change your name?"

Freaking Namingway.

[DarkLadyNyara]

I go with the defaults. The only exception is when I'm playing a translated ROM. And then, it's changing it to the english names.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I usually change Cecil to Maxx just for sheer prosperity since I'm saving the world, dammit, not them!

[Evastio]

I never changed the names except for this one time on the SNES Version.

Cecil: Sugar
Kain: I can't remember
Rydia: Name
Tellah: Slave
Edward: Nobody (I hope Maxx won't get mad. I don't hate Edward)
Rosa: Mmm...
Yang: !!!!!!
Palom: Oh
Porom: Snap
Cid: I can't remember
Edge: I can't remember
FuSoYa: Rocks!

You need to play through the FFII SNES Version to find out why I chose these names.

[ImAFarmer]

Fusoya:SoYaBeans
Cecil:Turd
Rydia:Bahamuter

I didn't bother with anyone else

[Aqua Mage]

Cecil - Licec
Kain - Naik
Rydia - Aidyr
Rosa - Asor
Tellah - Hallet
Edward - Drawde
Edge - Egde
Yang - Gnay
Cid - Dic
Porom - Morop
Palom - Molap
FuSoYa - Ayosuf

I don't know why, but I find that hilarious. o.o
