I tend to use names that mean something to me, or my first name. From those you've listed, I liked Indigo for the boy and Usagi for the girl. But that's just my opinion!

Whenever I play Hoenn, I always name myself Flair, after the wrestler Ric Flair who is famous for his white mullet. For the longest time I thought Brendan had long white hair until I realised it was actually his hat.

I think at one point everyone thought that was his hair xD

Dang it, now I'm going to never look at him the same again. I never once thought of the character looking like Ric Flair until now. And I must say, that is a hilarious thing to think about. xD

I name my character Troy, after me, but when I play as May sometimes I decide to choose a female name. Depends n__n;

G4YF4G jkjk

For Brendan I think you should choose Brendan
For May I think you should choose Sapphire ^^

Juno August 30th, 2014 9:29 AM

In your lists, I like Brendan or Peyton for the male character, and May or Violet for the female. :) Brendan and May for obvious reasons, but in general, I like "real" names more, and I'm not a fan of Japanese names, so I narrowed it down to those.

Geo Unari August 30th, 2014 10:57 AM

Usually I name myself Ichiro but for alpha Sapphire I'm gonna name myself Geo Unari or Unari-Kun ^-^

Lol same here

I usually just use whatever name I like at the time I get the game... if I ever reboot, or play a second copy of that region, then I guess I pick a name that suits whatever theme the run will have.

First/Main files:
Momoko (Female) (Sapphire, Pearl, Soulsilver, Firered) cuz I liked that name, and at the time going from game to game was one pig advanture
Yume (Female) (White) Don't remember why, TBH. Well, I picked the girl as always, and Yume is a cute name, and it means Dream, and dreams was one of the things Gen 5 had going for it
Rosa (Female) (Y) I ALWAYS liked that name, and I actually wanted to use that on the female in White2, once I learned that was a default name. Never got around to it, so I redirected that towards my Y character's name.

Second files:
Yuki (Male)(2nd Firered run, original Diamond run, 2nd Sapphire run, Pearl/Original FR Rival's name) I like that name back then as well. I figured my second runs where always my rival's version of the game, so... yeah.
Taya (Female) (Platinum) just a random name I picked out of nowhere, actually.
Momoko (Female) (Ruby) cuz I wanted to relive my first Pokemon game. and Ruby was the closest game I had to that. Yeah.
Mickey (Male) (2nd Diamond run) was gonna be doing a KH themed challenge and got Mickey, but than I just decided to solo with my starter. but yeah. named after the theme.

How are Brendan and May not real names? Or are you referring to the colours?

The colors, yes. I mean technically, Violet's a color too, but it's also a relatively common name compared to Indigo or Sapphire.

TRGrunt September 6th, 2014 6:00 AM

I like Indigo or Brendan for a guy and May for the girl.

AFeralFurry September 6th, 2014 6:33 AM

A, definitely A. :P

No, really, I think that Indigo sounds good.

Oh, and, if anyone cares, Apparently, people named after colors isn't quite as unheard of as many people think.

Anyway, it's nice seeing I'm not the only guy that tries to think up good names.

MarinoKadame September 6th, 2014 6:45 AM

Theres some people named Fork and Spoon, so color name are better.

Emboar September 6th, 2014 7:21 AM

How about Awesome? No, I'm kidding, for the male, why not name him Justin? And for the female, why not Marissa?

Bellum September 6th, 2014 7:31 AM

I always name my character either Natsu (after Natsu from Fairy Tail), Storm or Brony. Never played as the female character though haha.

I learned it was a hat like a few years ago XD

Naikado September 6th, 2014 7:53 AM

Huh. Violet was the name I always used when I played, which was about 60% of the time, as a kid. I dunno why I did, though :/

I think that Peyton would be best for males, personally, and for females either Violet (lol), Keiko or Usagi. No need to use generic canon names :p

I think the best char names are those that mean something to you, or you choose to represent yourself. I tend to choose some really weird names, but I haven't ever done any as a reference to anything. Do whatever feels right for you c:

ingcoliptis September 8th, 2014 11:58 PM

I isually just name myself Ing, so im just too bland to come up with any ideas. Although i you pick a girl, Usagi is the way to go (kawaiii~).

The_Buddha_Wolf September 14th, 2014 4:31 AM

In my opinion, you should pick your favorite male anime character's name (If you pick male) or your favorite female anime character's name (If you pick female). My second choice would be your real name.

Abby September 14th, 2014 6:48 AM

I normally end up using my nickname on the marriland forums, Kawso.

Hikamaru September 14th, 2014 1:13 PM

When I play the games, I'll just be using my real name (Nichole) as always. And of course I always play as the girl because well, I am a girl myself.

blue September 16th, 2014 12:04 PM

I always name my character after the protagonists' default name. I'll most definitely be using Brendan/May for ORAS respectively.
