smellybellysrock September 11th, 2010 6:25 PM

(Did i already post here?)


Mystery.

I started in Red doing this, and I'm continuing.

infrastatic September 11th, 2010 7:04 PM

Silas-Male
Quinn-Female

Not sure what one I am going to pick yet, however.

fenyx4 September 12th, 2010 4:58 PM

Tentatively, I might name myself Nero, since it is Italian for "black" (and Black Version was the version I had originally wanted). However, I plan on getting the "third version" of BW, so the name might change... Plus, it sort of contradicts my aim since though I plan on starting with the Fire-type starter, the name can also mean "water" in Greek...?

Ugh...either way, Nero still sounds cool! :) I might check the game's "suggested names" list, though...

sassy_blue333 September 12th, 2010 5:46 PM

Nero cool....I am going to name my self black.....^_^.......>_< loooooool

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 12th, 2010 5:51 PM

I'm thinking Azure or Noir (French for black) maybe Shiro (japanese for White) or Kuro (Jap for Black)

Alaskan Husky September 12th, 2010 7:19 PM

We'll see. I typically name my trainer whatever comes to mind.

But for now:

- Tanya for Black
- Alice for White

I may or may not pick the guy trainer this time around. Only time will tell! :P

Xander Olivieri September 12th, 2010 7:25 PM

I use the same names when I play so it'll be those again.

Yuki or Xander if I play a Boy.
Krys is I play a Girl.

●•ΛΣЯӨЩ•● September 12th, 2010 8:25 PM

Aerow will be my name. And i wont play as a girl...

Lunamewtwo September 12th, 2010 8:54 PM

Ash. As always. If not then red. Something about naming the same 1 makes it feel better

ngik... September 14th, 2010 6:24 AM

if i play as a girl, my name is rei!
if i play as a boy, my name is shiro!
i'll play as a girl in black and play as a boy in white~

Gavrillo_AK September 14th, 2010 8:00 AM

I will probably call myself 'Red', 'Blue' or 'Silver', since those were the first 3 pokemon games I played, and were my first 3 characters names. Or perhaps 'Blanc' (as I will be buying White) but I'm not really one to break tradition.

Perriechu September 14th, 2010 8:07 AM

Im gonna play as a Boy in Black so either my real name ; Joe or something completely different like... Black foreign names for Black xD

I have more idea's for girl names so either ; Amber, White., Kara, Chloe, same as Black (Foreign name)

Houndoom Shinigami September 14th, 2010 8:09 AM

Hmmm...depends, but I might go for:

Boy - Hiro, Zekrom, Nick, Satoshi

Girl - Nikki, Shadow, Haruka, Yoruichi

Really, it depends.

Neelh September 14th, 2010 8:21 AM

Well, I'm gonna call myself Helen.

mondays suck September 14th, 2010 9:21 AM

Mondays, as usual. Both because it resembles my username and that I can use the name to justify failure. Or maybe, Z.Pluff, for a change.
Rival will be named Gary, since I have the tendency to name all rivals Gary. It's just the most rival-sounding name there is. And no, I don't care that people prefer to call the actual Gary Blue.

thedestinedblade September 14th, 2010 9:32 AM

I'll go with my usual name Denim. I'll keep the default for everyone else.

Jaiyke September 14th, 2010 9:45 AM

Have we found out if we can name Cheren or Bel something different yet?

=\ i really like naming things Miscellaneously xDD usually Palindromes for Character Names xDD like Saias or Nuimiun weird i know xDD
that said Favorite Pokemon name is Garafarig xD

and usually random words for the Nicknames of my Pokemon...
e.g Rice, Carve, and Park O_O;

my name is either Jaiyke or Jacob usually xD

AadmM September 14th, 2010 10:30 AM

AadmM, Adam, Atom, or Guyman. Whoever knows where that last one comes from gets a double chocolate chip cookie.

Dooonerz September 14th, 2010 10:36 AM

Donnerz. It is always Donnerz. ALWAYS. Remember that xD

shot571 September 14th, 2010 11:40 AM

Shoaib just like usual :D

pokewalker September 14th, 2010 11:42 AM

Used google to translate Koen into 勇敢な. So 勇敢な will be my name on my Japanese copy :D

AuraAshley1990 September 14th, 2010 11:44 AM

gonna name my character my name Ashley. then probably name my rival my bfs name

HiroUey September 14th, 2010 2:29 PM

Im always male and ill use one of these names:
Hiro/Shiron/Kain

Project. September 14th, 2010 2:32 PM

I always name it after myself.

Cold Fusion September 14th, 2010 2:33 PM

Fred

I'll most likely be male on it, but I'm not sure what I'm gonna name him, something like Clyde or Damien (if that'll fit XDD;), I suppose.

Masara September 14th, 2010 4:40 PM

I recently decided that I'm gonna play as the guy character and name him Lea. c: Pronounced as if it were spelled with two e's.
The name isn't a reference to a certain other popular video game series. Not at all.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 14th, 2010 5:03 PM

Lol I know what the reference would is/ would be Lea as in Axel's original persona, sweet name :)

Echidna September 15th, 2010 8:22 AM

i'm thinking i'll just hit ok and the game will assign the original character's name like i've done in all previous gens.

Devil Flamingo September 15th, 2010 8:50 AM

I will probably name myself Jun and use Bulbapedia to help me use the right characters, lalala. I have always liked the name Jun (means various things [including "handsome", "truthful", "pure", etc.] depending on the Asian lang) and I identify a lot with Barry/Jun/Peal, so I love the name. :D

Blastin'Tyruntz September 15th, 2010 8:57 AM

im gonna call miself in black my real name:idan (cause i liked this version a little more)
and in white,bolt (cause i want to be a rival of my brother,is younger but good as same as i am)

Sammuthegreat September 15th, 2010 9:50 AM

On the game I end up using as my main game (with all my various Pokemon from Gens I-IV on it) I'll call myself Sammu. On the other games I play through the other version I'll name myself according to the run/challenge I'm participating in - for example Locke for Nuzlocke, 1PerGym for the 1 Per Gym Challenge, Fave for the Favourites Challenge, and so on.

EDIT: And on the Challenge runs, I'll always call my rival Cheat - because he's not playing by my rules!

Spiky-Eared Pichu September 15th, 2010 10:02 AM

I will choose the boy and name it Marc, my real name. I always use my real name because I feel more "main character of the story" :classic:

Sabi96 September 15th, 2010 11:03 AM

My nickname, Sabi. Easy as pie

Male, of course

Clefairies September 15th, 2010 11:06 AM

I shall name my character after myself; Peter.
like I always do (:

Chibi-chan September 15th, 2010 12:25 PM

If I DOOOOOOOOO get Black or White, I'm playing as a guy.
His name will be Ruth.

IT JUST SOUNDS COOL

Ariados September 15th, 2010 2:10 PM

I'll be either Kit, Jules, Juene, or Nicholas (all male of course).
Probably Nicholas, since Kit and Jules are my Platinum and Soulsilver, and Juene is my Yellow name.
Or name myself Ariados and name a real ariados Nicholas ;p

Electric Totodile September 15th, 2010 5:38 PM

If Aurelia fits, I'll do that.

Surmonter September 15th, 2010 5:40 PM

Etienne if male.
Stefani if female.

:3

Maxite September 15th, 2010 7:55 PM

I'm planning on getting both versions. Depending on what version I play first will determine what I call myself.
In general, the first version I play is "Maxite", and the second version is "Adam".

Aloetakura September 15th, 2010 11:21 PM

I would probably name myself something sounding White-ish or Black-ish, depending on what version I got. I'm not sure I will get the games though.

Opposite Day September 16th, 2010 2:11 AM

My given name, of course. オレ all the way! :>

Daikenki September 16th, 2010 4:52 PM

For once I think I am going to not use my real name for the character name.
I'll be playing as a girl obviously. xD
I guess out of names I would use...

- Hana
- Peach

PaxAmericana October 4th, 2010 6:10 PM

What did/will you name yourself?
 
What is your name on the game or what will be your name?


On English Version, IDK.

LycaNinja October 4th, 2010 6:11 PM

I named myself Kai in my Jap version and I will call myself Calder in Eng version...

Makes my full name Kai Calder lol

yaminokaitou October 4th, 2010 6:19 PM

My character's name is Mikage. Not sure about the English version.

Ho-Oh October 4th, 2010 6:20 PM

Merged with the thread already on this~

Massacre. October 4th, 2010 6:27 PM

I would name myself either my real name, my nickname, or my XBL GT.

PaxAmericana October 4th, 2010 6:28 PM

Well, i still IDK about english version name, any suggestions?

Ricochet Orange October 4th, 2010 6:46 PM

Current: Rico
American Version: Orange, unless they add more available characters to the name.

pleryt16 October 4th, 2010 6:59 PM

When I get Black/White, Japanese name will be Steve, English will be Steve-0 (I use zeros instead of O's), since my real name is Stephen

Kamigoroshi October 4th, 2010 7:10 PM

Japanese: I mostly use either Yami, Miyu, Nyx or Hel (in katakana) for my characters.
European: Probably the same, as those names indicate a strong bond towards Ghost and Dark type pokemon (my favourites).

alisaie October 4th, 2010 7:27 PM

I'm sadly not going to be able to get a Japanese Version of the game. However, when I do get the game when it comes out in America, chances are I'll be calling myself Maxine, to start a little 'tradition'.

Whether or not I'll stick with this idea though, will all depend. I'm starting to lean towards calling myself 'Raine' instead, and then naming my team all after Tales of Symphonia characters for the heck of it. I'm obsessed I know.

ScentedLove October 5th, 2010 11:49 AM

I'm going to name myself Mei because I really like the name.

Cilerba October 5th, 2010 12:02 PM

I'll probably be naming myself Max, or Cilly. :P

Xela October 5th, 2010 12:06 PM

Alex. Ain't that the best name for me?
I have no reason to name myself something else. :)

Planetes. October 5th, 2010 12:06 PM

well if I get 5 characters, ummm Tony on black, Trent on white.

Spikey-Eared Pichu October 5th, 2010 12:28 PM

Hiram =) Why would I name myself anything aside from my real name?

Confessions October 5th, 2010 2:55 PM

Pretty sure I'll name my character after my real name.

JessiexJackknife October 5th, 2010 3:01 PM

Probably Jess or Jessie.

Maybe a random name I pick at the start of the game, I really dunno, but prolly Jessie, xD.

English versionm duhh.


RainbowWing October 5th, 2010 3:14 PM

I just use my real name, even though it says in the instruction booklet you can't :3

xVenomx October 5th, 2010 3:14 PM

I would name myself Shino in Black. Because that is who I am in HG right now!

Pandesal October 5th, 2010 4:11 PM

I'm probably just going to use my real name, since I'm quite unimaginative when it comes to naming the player character in Pokemon games.
That is, of course, unless I think of something else. Which is highly unlikely at the moment.

Boarbeque October 6th, 2010 3:46 AM

BoarBQ. This way people know who to fear on Youtube after getting their butt's kicked on random wifi.

HirakuNoShadow October 6th, 2010 4:01 AM

Currently on the Japanese White version it's called Rei (lit. 'Zero'), and I'll name it as Hiraku (which has been my pseudonym for quite a few years) when the English version comes out.

Eurydice October 6th, 2010 11:43 AM

on my black version i named myself Eury since there are very little character space. im still trying to decide what i will name myself on my white version.

and when i get the english versions if there is enough room it will be eurydice or Kahlan or Eurydia.

Alaskan Husky October 6th, 2010 3:44 PM

boy - jacques
female - alice/sarah

eh, i always choose the girl character despite being a guy, this time will probably be no exception (i might play as the boy on bw though!! i like him more than the other male protagonists)

Sydian October 6th, 2010 4:18 PM

White (Japanese): female, Syddy
Black (English): male, Eru

(Eru like Erufuun, obvs)

tobi-ksla October 6th, 2010 4:33 PM

Though I normally pick the boy character, I decide to go the different route by picking the girl this time.

And I'm naming her Annie as a tribute to a character in one of my stories.

Zelda October 6th, 2010 5:16 PM

It's really your matter of opinion on names. Perhaps you could name the protagonist after yourself, or maybe there is a unique name you like that you might want to name your character after. A TV show character, actress or actor, anything will help you choose a name for one of the protagonists. :)

Stellar October 7th, 2010 2:16 AM

This... is a good question.
In Diamond and SS I named the protagonists after my original characters: Lunis and Solis, mother and daughter respectively. I liked that pattern, but now that I'll have a new game come spring I guess I'll have to break it. Although I could pick the male protagonist and name him Zio after the daddy. :D

chaos11011 October 8th, 2010 6:50 PM

Well since I'm getting the Japanese Black Late November/Early December (Yeah Im a little slow xD)
I will name myself イアーゴー (Iaagoo/Iago) or カオス(Kaosu/Chaos)
Which is my realname and username respectivly

institutions October 8th, 2010 6:55 PM

Probably one of the same two names I pick on any game.

Either Andrew (my real name) or Jesus.

We don't get to name the rival in this do we?

La Denryu October 8th, 2010 8:14 PM

I'm going to be boring and name myself Zoe, like every other Pokemon game I own <:

Renyui! October 9th, 2010 11:00 PM

I have already named myself Chief on the jap version of the game, and will continue to do so on the English edition, and all my other Pokemon games. It's short, 5 letters, so you can put it into the jap games, and pretty self explanatory. I am pretty chief-like after all.

ShyRayq October 10th, 2010 12:13 AM

well i was going for kuromu/chrome but i didnt feel like a jap name so i just went
english "Chrom" it sounds dumb but..meh

radicalowner October 10th, 2010 5:38 PM

I'm not too original, so I always name my character after myself. Also, so I don't get moments where I wonder why in the world I named my character that.

It'd probably be Kassandr if it only allows 8 characters.

Trish October 10th, 2010 5:59 PM

I like my first name, so that's what I've been using as my character's name so far. xD

twistedpuppy October 10th, 2010 6:00 PM

Lately I've been going with twisted with all of my games, so I'll keep with that little tradition.

TheGoddessOfDiscord October 11th, 2010 5:45 AM

I'm choosing the boy character and it'd be quite weird if I'd name him Nanna or Adele so I'm propably naming him Nicholas/Nick or Alexander.

delthero October 11th, 2010 10:54 AM

probably Black :) just to go with simplicity or Ricardo because thats my name lol XD

RydahsPwndge October 13th, 2010 5:52 PM

Prob Ven Ive always been a kingdom hearts fan since it came out so thats it

Know-Nothing Bozo the Non-Wonder Dog October 13th, 2010 6:09 PM

I'm going to use the female character and name her Bill. It's like a new tradition I started in Soul Silver. :D see, female names are hard to think of. So I used a male name instead.

Myamii October 15th, 2010 3:01 PM

I'll just use my username, since I don't like using my real name in Pokemon.

Fushigidane-Chan October 15th, 2010 3:08 PM

For my Japanese White, I just picked the first five letters of the Japanese alphabet.

On my English version of Black, I'll just go with my name.

AshPikastar October 15th, 2010 3:11 PM

I usually name myself "Jun" if I picked the boy character which I did. Now if I picked the girl character it would have probably been "Taichi" or something.

Elite Trainer Red October 15th, 2010 5:39 PM

OmegaZX new tradition i started in SS
in jap black/white i name myself OmgZX cause of character limit but meh
Before OmegaZX i called myself Mas (Sam backwards)

monkeyandhead October 15th, 2010 5:58 PM

If I can fit it, monkeyandhead (for the laughs).
Otherwise, Greene. It's a tradition thing I have going on.

Genosekuto October 15th, 2010 6:51 PM

Well Since The Names Can Only Be 5 Characters, My name would be... Zach. lol

Prometheus October 16th, 2010 4:12 AM

Arif, I always use my real name.

MiniM00se October 16th, 2010 6:45 AM

M00se, like always.

And my rival will be DIB. Even though that doesn't make sense... because Zim is Dib's rival, not Minimoose :3

EmeraldSerenade October 16th, 2010 7:18 AM

I'll probably name myself Zane or some other irrelevant name that isn't mine ^_^

Zennerick October 16th, 2010 10:59 AM

I'm going to play as a Female for the "lulz" and I will name myself a name I made up: Anako.

RockmanEXE October 16th, 2010 11:02 AM

"Rockman" if I choose the boy.
"Roll" if I end up picking the girl.

Lumière October 16th, 2010 1:18 PM

In the Black import I named myself Harmony (in katakana) since that is what I call my alter ego. I plan to get both versions in English and play as a girl in Black and a boy in White (might switch though). I'll name the girl Harmony (me) and the boy Cadmus (but pretending he's a she :P). The names are based on characters from a story in my head and also Harmonia and Cadmus in Greek mythology. Kinda weird yes I know.

Heart's Soul October 16th, 2010 2:18 PM

Black. Why? It's the name of my half-OC in my webcomic. [???= It's a lousy name.]Yay![/???]

Chord October 16th, 2010 7:06 PM

I'll go with Chess like I did in HeartGold. Name is simple yet anime-ish

Draknir October 16th, 2010 7:19 PM

I'll go with my name in the language the game is in(Japanese=Mashu in Katakana, English=Matthew, German=Mathias).

Monark360 October 17th, 2010 12:49 AM

I'll probably go with アリ, which as far as I know, is Ant in katakana.

XDragonRiderX October 17th, 2010 8:52 PM

Gir but most likely Black/White
