Changing The Main Character's Name

[Aulayna]

Interesting question!

If the character has a default, canon name, I usually leave it at that. If the character doesn't and you have to come up with a name all on your own, then I go full-sperg and try to come up with a good setting- and lore- friendly name.

I think the one exception is Pokemon games where you can be a girl, in which case I name them after me.

Pretty much this.
