So just a question, how do you guys name your characters in your game?

Do you just use your name?
use a name from the anime?
make an original name?
or just the generic character name?

Just my name; the other instances usually go to my rival depending on my mood

I usually make an original name, though I used mine when I was younger. Next gen I'm gonna use my gf name and possibly appearance.
>gf

I used to use my name for Red and Silver

Gen 3 I used the name "Tom" that was given to you, didn't know it was Brandon

for Diamond for I used my favorite Trainers name, "Hareta" named my rival "Pearl" and of course Hikari was "Dawn" felt like a good cross of names

When I start Black I'll go with Black, and White 2 I will choose Faitsu

will wait on X and Y, see if there are any characters I like

I've either named them after people I'm fond of, or thematically named them (i.e. Revan when I'm going for a KoTOR team theme, or Raynor for StarCraft).

My name. If there is a nameable rival, I'll use the reccomended color name. However Hugh was a stupid name so I called him Dominic instead.

I always call my character Cedar. The rival is whatever jumps into my head. My current run, its Alaster.

I usually name my character my name. Though, if I'm bored, I'll name my character "I" -- makes it sound as if the game is self narrating itself

If I'm playing as a boy, I use my name.

If I'm playing as a girl (just for a change) I use my gf's name.

Simple.

My recent trend has been to use the name of characters I've played on stage. Currently Doc with my counterpart named Barnett, in X I'll probably go for Eric and name my rival Corrado.

Quoted By:

In gen 1 I named my character Mew because I saw a cheat that allegedly allowed you to play as a Pokemon, but it was fake.
In gen 2, I named my character Neo and my rival Smith because I had just seen The Matrix and I was obsessed with it.
Then in subsequent playthroughs, I'd name my character Cal after the guy from the Viridian City Trainer House and it has become traditional to use Cal ever since.

I use the same name I've been using since I bought Diamond and got back into pokemon. I try to give all of my rivals different names - usually friends or people I talk to a lot at the time I choose a name for them.

Quoted By:

I'm always female and I usually name my trainer after a character in a work of fiction I enjoyed shortly before starting the file.

Sapphire - (most recent male) Teg (Miles Teg from the Dune Series)
Ruby - San (Princess Mononoke)
Leaf Green - Shana (Short for my first D&D character's name)
Fire Red - Inque (Batman Beyond)
Diamond - Em (Short for Emaline, song by Ben Folds)
Platinum - Ciela (Cielito Lindo)
Soul Silver - Ashbury (Play on Ash and also from Superman comics. Honestly this name hasn't aged well in my opinion; I've been releasing her pokemon if they're duplicates)
Black - Effy (UK Skins)
Volt White 2 - Surma (Gunnerkrigg Court)

There was also a file on FRLG with the full Emaline name, and a RuSa file named Jade (don't remember the origin).

In X I'm gonna find a French version of my name.

Quoted By:

I just use the default/canon names for everybody. If there isn't a canon name for the game character, I'll use one from the manga/most accepted fan name (eg: Leaf).

I like the names, I like to think of the character as a character and not "me" or "my avatar" and in the end I'll play as both characters at least once anyway (and I tend to pick the boy for the first run even though I'm a grill)

Currently playing "Rosa" in a random White 2 run.
