discussion Naming the MC

[mmkv2]

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.

I usually like the name the Game gives me, so I usually don't rename it

I don't care except for the MC, but that should be standard.

MC gets called Anon and everything else is default names, if forced to provide names I put in an ex's name lmao never actual family

 

[HeyUwUkitty]

I usually rename every character I can but never use my name of family names

 

[kikomascado]

I don't even rename the MC. I don't self insert, I just view the story as a movie or something.

 

[derodius]

yup, mc after myself and sister characters after old friends that i like (I don't have sisters) but the mom i leave as is unless its a horible name

 

[charslet]

I usually name MC after my dad or my brother

 

[Zalyftatyf]

Doesn't make sense to me. For one thing, because I don't have any siblings. Secondly, because the characters probably wouldn't look like them. So I keep the names that are given. That makes more sense for me in the story. I'm sure the creator of the game had something in mind.

 

[cepaxo]

No, normally I use name who like me or I feel good for that person in game

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.

Same here.

 

[binstinct]

Same here.

Only exception is cuck / ntr games. I use the name of a cuckold I know. Lol.

 

[Silwith]

No, if they had my actual families name it would honestly feel kinda weird xD I do rename if I don't like a name, but not after anyone I know really.

 

[wislim]

Yes, when the mood strikes. But I already have my sister and our daughter as mine so it's not really needed.

I don't... well, kinda... I usually use names of people I knew in the past. And sometimes the names are fine and I don't feel any need to change them.

 

[perveldia]

No, that would be too weird, as I am not attracted to my own family (with the exception of a cousin). I do name MC sometimes, mostly when he has a ridiculous name or no name at all.

yes I do,

 

[LUVGAMZ23]

Other than the MC, I rarely rename characters. That way, I don't have to think "Shit! I renamed this one... Julia. I'm stuck. What was Julia's original name? I need the original name so that I can properly search for the answer."

If there is no default (ENTER does nothing), I pick a movie star that was in the news / in the last thing I watched.

 

[Cuzline]

No, but I used to rename them after my cousins' or the name of someone I know that fit the character, but I don’t do that anymore.
And since English isn’t my first language, some names just don’t feel right

Just don't feel like................. thats the point

I like have the option to rename the MC, and using a persona one different play throughs.
