Well usually the first couple times I play a new game I use my own name, Mallory. Then after I get bored of that I'll look up a fancy name or a dumb name depending on what I'm feeling.
If I don't go with the default name (if there is one), then I'll be naming my character Dominic. That's what I usually always name the male players I play as, after all, so it's sort of a tradition of mine that I would like to upkeep. But naming him that depends on if I like the name he's given by the creators, since I will be playing the male.
If there's a default name like Ethan, Lucas in the past ds pokemon games, im going with that. But if not, say your b/w counterpart doesn't have a default name im going to name myself either my own name Patrick or a unique name.
Usually it's a moment when I get a new game I just go "I want -enter name here- as his/her name!" but this time I'm thinking I may actually play as the girl instead of the male and name her Rikku. Don't know why Rikku, I just want to.
