Video Game Names

I used to only use my name and my friend's names if it was an RPG I was playing. Unless it was the first time through, then I kept the default names. In Zelda games I'm always Link.

But I saw this thread the other day before I started playing Chrono Trigger and so I named my characters differently.

Crono: Jack
Marle: Zelda
Lucca: Anne
Frog: Theo
Robo: Roy
Ayla: Jane

Yup. Just used random names.

I used to always use the name "Emrys" for my main characters. It's a name that one of my best friends always used, and after I moved away I sorta adopted it as a way to remember him. Eventually I grew out of that though, and now I either use the character's default name, the name I'm using for my main character in whatever MMORPG I'm currently playing, or a name off of the big list of names that I've come up with for different character archetypes over the years.

Here's a challenge - next time you play a game where you can name the characters, call your characters something insulting, then take a screenshot when it comes to a classic piece of dialogue and post it here.

Example: Play Final Fantasy VII, but name Tifa 'Bitch' and Berret 'Nigger'. Then take a screenshot at a particularly funny piece of dialogue. Come on, it'll be fun.

In FF7:

Cloud - my name
Cait Sith- Cat Shit
Yuffie - Useless

In FF8, I always left Squall normal because I hate his name and I thought it was funny.

in Crono Trigger:

Crono: Red
Marle: Yellow
Lucca: Purple
Frog: Green
Robo: Junk
Wings of Time: White
Magus: Periwin (short for Periwinkle)
Ayla: Old

Heh...

I always either use the character's name or I'll call myself Link.

Wait, I forgot about Final Fantasy 4. You know the monk, Yang?

You can pretty much guess what I changed it to. 😃

Me, depends on the game.
Final Fantasy: Whatever I think of at that point.
Legend of Zelda: Legendary Swords
Halo: Church (If you know Red vs. Blue, you know who I'm talking about)
Tribes: Keyboard Smash and edit
