discussion Naming the MC

[GhostyOps]

Ghosty for me

 

[billsum477]

Im a default person, I dont care either way

 

[beryl]

I always just go with the default name.

 

[svel200]

Just my name

 

[Nexus0075]

I'll just name him after myself

 

[Ormyc]

call my guy Dave every time

 

[ukalias]

I just use my real first name for the games and just accept whatever the MC's surname is

 

[pierce125]

Ever since I saw the James Franco Spelling Bee skit on SNL, I always name the character Little Pig Boy. Little Pig if it doesn't allow for a surname, and Little Pigette if it's a female protagonist. Just a little running gag that I still think is funny.

 

[User_44582]

I tend to go with Sam because it's gender neutral and if they want a last name, Johnson because it's a penis. If the MC is asian, last name Chin, because chinchin is penis.

When a game gives you the option to rename characters, do any of you rename the characters after people you know? Asking for a friend.

When a game gives you the option to rename characters, do any of you rename the characters after actual family members? Asking for a friend.

It depends on the name! if it suits the character I don't rename it! otherwise ido

 

[zix_ns]

I don't, not attracted to any of my family. Odd that I enjoy it in games.

 

[SegmentCoalescing]

Nope. It would also be kinda hard to name a sister after your own when you don't have one.

 

[Augustus]

On the contrary, I'd rename a character if they already share a name with close family. For me incest is hot in the abstract, it's not something I'd actually fantasize about doing with actual relatives. Also, while I don't believe that there is something inherently wrong with incest, I think essentially all realistic scenarios are also highly problematic. So I think its better to try and purge any actual incestual desires rather than reinforce them.

 

[charslet]

Usually I do, but depends on the character and the story

 

[Salty Harley]

It's kinda creepy to rename characters after your actual family...

 

[i_patchy]

Nope. Only MC. And i dont call him by my real name either.

 

[Amman]

No not usually

 

[podllboq]

Tried once, it felt awkward, so never doing it again.

 

[Coretherius]

Usually just the MC, and usually random names I come up with.
