And Your Name Is...?
 
In every main-series Pokemon game, the professor prompts you to give the player a name. There's a list of pre-prepared options, and the choice to customize it entirely to your liking. My question is, what do you plan on naming yourself in ORAS? Is there any significance behind that name? Is that what you usually name your character in Pokemon, or are you changing it up for Hoenn?

Khoshi July 6th, 2014 6:29 AM

I usually pick the default character name, which in this case would be Brendan or May, since my creativity is lacking and I don't really like my real name. I named my Pokemon X character after Marisa Kirisame (how typical of me lol) since she's related to an interest of mine, so I might name my characters after things like anime characters or game characters.

Altairis July 6th, 2014 6:35 AM

I'm going to use my real name! Only because Sapphire was my first Pokemon game and Hoenn is best region so I think it would work nicely. :3 For my playthrough of Omega Ruby (which I will probably buy..) I'll just pick a random boy's name.

FifePokemon July 6th, 2014 6:53 AM

I always use my real name, or my nickname, because i like to envisage the character as myself

Hikamaru July 6th, 2014 7:06 AM

I'll name myself Nichole which happens to be my real name, and a trend I've been doing since 4th Gen.

Heir July 6th, 2014 8:37 AM

I sometimes use my real name, but if OR/AS follows the same battle and trading system that X&Y did, then I'll probably name my character something cooler.

Sheep July 6th, 2014 8:45 AM

I'll be Janna always and forever. :D Just feels really odd to play as anything but my real name. Stopped using nicknames past the third generation.

Fairy July 6th, 2014 9:16 AM

I am most certainly going to be Alexial. It's the name I've always played as and the name I will continue to play as so long as I identify with it. :) After so long it would just feel wrong not to, you know?

Angello July 6th, 2014 10:22 AM

Angello... In other words, my real name.

Yato July 6th, 2014 1:20 PM

I usually name my characters after fictional characters I like, after names I like, or after my or a friend's RP OCs. This case is no different: at the moment, I plan on naming the fem. protag. Lacey and the male protag. Klavier. Lacey is one of my favorite RP OCs whereas Klavier comes from my favorite prosecutor in the Ace Attorney series. (I also love the name, haha.) Don't think I've used either in any of my Pokemon games; I rarely use the same names for the protags. in any of the Pokemon games I play.

Jacrad July 6th, 2014 2:49 PM

Well, I made the decision back before the release of X and Y to name my protagonists with names that would, if used in Generation I, always generate glitch Pokemon via the old man glitch.
Jacrad was the name I used for Y.
Skylar is going to be the name used for AlphaSapphire. Which has the added bonus of mixing in with the environment aspect of the game. (My fanon for now is that the protagonist is leader of a team called Team Strata that seeks to free Rayquaza to stop Teams Aqua and Magma.)

Flushed July 6th, 2014 2:57 PM

I've grown accustomed to the name Tomato Soup, so I'll probably be naming my character that, assuming it fits (which I'm sure it will, seeing as it did in XY).

Venitardus July 6th, 2014 3:04 PM

When ever I picked the male, I always used Joey (my real name) and either Kimmy or Summer for the female.

(I'll probably go with Kimmy since I used that name in my sapphire play through)

Master Krillin July 6th, 2014 3:17 PM

I've got 3 names I cycle through, Mario(my real name), Tai, and T.K I used Tai in in Black and Mario in Black 2 and T.K and X so probably Tai this time.

starseed galaxy auticorn July 6th, 2014 3:33 PM

I plan on naming my character the name I always do, and that is 'Kimi'. There's no real significance behind it, other than it being my nickname and such. Most people know me as that name, so I usually keep it the same each time.

Perriechu July 6th, 2014 3:34 PM

Normally I name myself Joe but since I'm playing as a girl first idk. I'll probably think of it when the time comes. Not a lot of thought goes into my name choosing, usually it's a character from a show or an actors name... or my own.

Sydian July 6th, 2014 3:38 PM

I'll be playing as a girl and naming myself Alli. I rarely deviate from Alli(son), Sydian, or Jak as far as my name in Pokemon goes.

Altius July 6th, 2014 4:12 PM

For other games, I've used my own name.

But for OR, I'll name myself "Ruby". I named the male character that, and female sapphire back in the originals. Going to stick with this name scheme for the remakes.

Euphoric July 6th, 2014 5:19 PM

Quil, probably, when I play as a guy. Probably going to go with the defeat if I play as a girl.

Brendino July 6th, 2014 9:32 PM

I'm a little bored of using my real name (Brendan), so I'll just end up picking whatever the default name is for the male character in ORAS. Now if only I knew what that's going to be...

Seth Rollins July 6th, 2014 9:59 PM

My real name obv cuz I like to think my character is me xD.

εcho. July 6th, 2014 10:22 PM

I usually just pick a name that I think it cool and pretty in the moment. I tend to prefer short names too.
I'm currently playing through my Y version with the name "Evey" and I might reuse it for ORAS.

Salzorrah July 6th, 2014 11:34 PM

I might go with May in ORAS, since I love the name, and it fits with my XY save coz my name there is Shay :P

bwburke94 July 7th, 2014 1:44 AM

I'll name myself Brendan, since it's both the character's name and my real name.

blue July 7th, 2014 8:30 AM

Using Brendan and May for AS and OR respectively. It doesn't look right using any other name to me!
