What do you guys name your character in ever game? I once tried to go with my real name and it looked wrong.

I use my real name first but luckily I have a cool name, then I use nicknames or just coolish names. I tend to stay away from my real name if I'm playing a female character though

I always play the male character and name him after myself first. Any subsequent play throughs after that I pick the female character and name her Gwen, which is what I'd name my hypothetical future daughter some day

That doesn't even make any sense. Feminists feeling like it could be interpreted in a more ambiguous way makes you trash the whole name completely? Surely you can't be serious.

Canon names take priority.

Failing that, I have a set name for either gender, for either Japanese or English language.

If that's not possible for some reason, then I'll randomize.

I consider using my own name a taboo though; doubt it will fit, save for some very specific setting.

I use whatever I feel like, but never my real name. In Gold and Heart Gold I always use "Max" though because that's what I always put as a kid. In Platinum I named her "Ann". In XY I named her "Suhrah". Playing Red++ now and named her Green like normal though. I'm playing ORAS too now but I don't have my 3ds with me so I don't remember my character's name.

Ruby - Ayami
Diamond - Lucas (did not know it was the canon name)
HGSS - Jimmy

X - Veronica
Moon - Still deciding. . .

I like knowing default names but sometimes I might have a preference to go with something else.

gen6: Myname & Mynickname (m)

also Myname/MYNAME or Lithium/LITHIUM in hacks
Lithium because it kinda follows the naming-characters-after-minerals from gen 2, 3 and 4, because my name starts with the third letter of the alphabet, my chair in chemistry class had [Li] on it and because there's Lithium in my antidepressants.

May: Kaiko
Dawn: Nyamo (Diamond), Yukari (Platinum)
Hilda: Verdin
Hilbert: Touya
Rosa: Raimei (Had no idea her name actually was Mei at the time)
Calem: left it as Calem
Serena: reused Yukari
ORAS May: Haruka

No idea where I'm going with Sun and Moon. Might reuse Verdin if I pick the girl, but I'll wait for their real names first.
