I either self-insert or name the protagonist "Scunt". I don't know where Scunt came from, but I've been using it as a pseudonym for a few years.

In Team Fortress 2 "Scunt" is used as a derogatory term for Scout players.

Always my own name, same with every game that gives the option.

I used ALLCAPS for my name as opposed to the standard lower case in Platinum I think and it looked stupid.

Quoted By:

When I was a kid I'd name them after myself
When I was a pre-teen I'd take their canon names from the manga
When I was a late teenager I'd take their canon names from the games proper
Now I just kinda go by what they look like and pick a name that feels right (ex. when I played Moon I named my guy Jay), though obviously with older gens if I go back those older names are kinda ingrained at this point.

Usually in Dark Souls or steam or any other RPGs, i just use a meme name or some anime character's name I happen to think off.
With Pokemon I used to do it too, then the OT would be kinda lame, so Id just use my actual name.

I'll either choose the boy and use my name, makes it easier for friends to find me. Or if I choose the girl (which I only do on Nuzlockes to differentiate which games I'm doing that on) I'll use the girl's default name, usually Dawn or Rosa because I nuzlocke the hell out of Platinum and W2.

Either a canon name if I like it or a reference.
So I've gone Kris and Lucas. In White it was Jet like the guy in Cowboy Bebop and also because "jet black". In X it was Josuke, nickname JoJo. In Sun I went with Brian for a Beach Boys reference.

Used to be just my first name. Now that I think about it, that's pretty funny considering I named the girl protag in Crystal that as well. When Gen 4 rolled around and the games started including online play, I shifted to using my most common username from online communities, which is happily rather gender-neutral sounding so I can just pick whichever protag I prefer without potentially causing weird moments in game dialogue.

Whatever the game is, that’s how I name my character. Pretty much go off pokespe designations. So I named them sun and moon in those games, diamond and platinum in those games etc etc.
