Rival Name MkII: English Edition
 
Since the old thread is locked, I'll continue it here.

What are you going to name the rival when BW2 come out in October?

Haseyo July 18th, 2012 8:47 PM

Probably Yosuke (aka Brosuke), as he's probably one of the chillest "buddies" in an RPG.
Either that or Junpei.

Sydian July 18th, 2012 9:47 PM

I named him Klipy in my Japanese Black 2 and will just name him Klippy in my English copies probably. It'll be better since the name will actually fit, lol. I like having my rival as my best friend, so that when I get mad at him, I can beat his team in B2W2 and feel satisfied. :) Not really, but that isn't a bad idea lol.

Hikamaru July 18th, 2012 10:42 PM

I'll probably name him Tyler, after my PC friend TylerSymes.

halcyonic July 18th, 2012 10:46 PM

Hmm, I'll name him the default or either Bryan.

Zayphora July 19th, 2012 3:04 AM

Can't decide whether to name him Akito or Yanda. Yanda, after that guy from Yotusba&!, or Akito, after a character in a story I'm writing.

PlatinumDude July 19th, 2012 4:47 AM

I'd let Hugh keep his original name for a lack of a better name I can think of. But I could have a change of heard and name him "Yusei" because of his spiky black hair.

Limanya July 19th, 2012 5:24 AM

I might just name my rival Kaj, because that's my boyfriend's name, or i could also just call him Karkat.

droomph July 21st, 2012 5:31 PM

This time, I'll name him something random, like Long John. :D

Riptobazooka July 21st, 2012 7:06 PM

HHHiroC. That is Hihihiroshi (ひひひろし) adaptation from Pokemon Smash.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 21st, 2012 8:54 PM

I'll proably name him Hiroshi or something form of the name.

Twilight-kun July 23rd, 2012 11:49 AM

Hue, because it's a perfect name, why bother changing it?

Jellicent♀ July 23rd, 2012 12:34 PM

I am totally going to name my starter Xander. B]

ShadowTheDarkrai July 24th, 2012 6:18 AM

I'll probably name my Rival Chrome because I like the sound of all the color and metal names. Then again I might change it... I don't know if it suits him.

vaporeon7 July 24th, 2012 6:24 AM

I'll either give him the generic name of Hugh or name him after a friend, so probably Jack, Jordan or Luke.

R a c h e l July 24th, 2012 5:28 PM

If I go with the female then I usually just give it my own name... although there was one time I was in a bad mood and started a new game on Pearl and gave her a particularly rude name!

Kevin July 24th, 2012 6:56 PM

Due to my lack of creativity, I'll name him the default: Hugh.

Sheep July 24th, 2012 7:46 PM

I usually go for the official names, so Hugh it is~! n_n Even though I'm not a fan of how it looks haha. Yep, I'm pretty uncreative, though I'd probably go for Gray in my second playthrough (as it was the speculated name of the third version and the name of a character I really like that looks a lot like the rival).

giradialkia July 25th, 2012 12:26 AM

I was going to go with just plain Hugh since I liked it quite a lot, but I really like the idea of calling him Gray (since SOMEONE has to be called Gray, haha). So depending on how I feel while playing, I'll call him either Hugh or Gray.

Altairis July 27th, 2012 4:24 PM

I saw a comment on Youtube and I'm basically done playing Skyward Sword, so I think I gotta go with Groose, because, you know, why not.

Melinda July 27th, 2012 5:56 PM

I named him さぼてん (Saboten) in my Japanese Black 2. The translation, Cactus, would be kind of random so I think I'll be naming my rival Sabby in my ENG version of White 2.

Rhea2x5g July 27th, 2012 7:45 PM

Well, I would name my rival Lea. [I named my rival Lea in my Pokemon Hertgold game! :D]

BlankPoints July 28th, 2012 7:51 PM

I'll would call him Chaud from Megaman Battle Network Series.

SetheKing August 13th, 2012 4:08 PM

I might name my Rival after Enter, a villain from Tokumei Sentai Gobusters, or just name him Chris, after my middle name, which is oddly the same name as one of my best friends, to try and parallel my character's name (which will be my first name).

bwburke94 August 13th, 2012 4:23 PM

After a lot of discussion in my head... I'm sticking with Hugh.

PlatinumDude August 13th, 2012 5:17 PM

After seeing the dubbed B2/W2 trailer, I have this strong urge to name the rival "Goku" because Sean Schemmel, who's the original voice of Goku in Dragonball, voiced Hugh in the trailer.

WillPowerPedro August 14th, 2012 5:38 PM

I will probably name my rival something random, such as Seven or Shift. I do that all the time.

Bourne-mouth August 17th, 2012 11:39 PM

I'll name him by default; Hugh. I have that habit of naming them by default.

Legobricks September 26th, 2012 10:51 AM

Um...

Sooty

You know, after that bear puppet thing. Seems like an amusing name but which is not too silly.

Brendino September 26th, 2012 1:34 PM

I'm going to name him Hugh, even if I'm not too fond of the name. I always just stick with the Rival's default name, and don't plan on changing that trend right now.

Miniduffa September 30th, 2012 3:47 PM

I'll probably call mine Jak, after my friend, who will no doubt name his after me.

SoraTheTruth September 30th, 2012 9:38 PM

Main: sora (hints my user name)
rival: kaito

What this guy said. Dk about the Bryan but might use it

curiousnathan September 30th, 2012 10:58 PM

I'll name him Hugh, since I don't usually name my rivals.

beanzapper October 1st, 2012 12:28 PM

I'm naming mine bwburke94 for sure :P

MVPokeStory October 1st, 2012 1:02 PM

My rival is keeping his original name.

Wobbachomp October 2nd, 2012 10:54 AM

I usually give my rivals the default name, so Hugh.

Unfortunately, my username is nine characters long. I abbreviate it to bwb94 for my own trainer name.

RedJ October 2nd, 2012 1:41 PM

I'll either stick Hugh or, because of his ridiculously long Japanese name, name him Jugen :P

KingCyndaquil October 5th, 2012 1:34 PM

my close friend Matt from my Martial Arts class, seems like a good pick
