Nagi September 20th, 2014 11:26 AM

when i played through sapphire when i was little, i would always name myself Sora - not after the boy from Kingdom Hearts, but after the girl from Digimon.
i'm still deciding whether i should go with that again or just stick with Nagi ...

as for you, i actually really like the name Indigo! it's kinda nice to invent your own colour and go with that, as if you were really one of the protagonists. if you want to stay in the gemstone-scene in style of the Hoenn games, you could also go with something like Topaz for the boy and Jade for the girl.

I always nickname myself Anthony (my name) but if you're set on something besides your name.. I think Link fits nicely with the ORAS character (nothing to do with LoZ, i swear)

Del September 23rd, 2014 7:16 AM

Boy Name : Maurade (from my name)
Girl Name : Shehrazad (my gf's name)

hey you pikachu September 25th, 2014 3:55 PM

I'm not as creative with guy names because I usually just go with my own name if I l pick a guy. Some female names I've picked for fem playthroughs in the past:

Lisa
Eliza
Jade
Velma (I was in a Scooby Doo mood :P)

As for some names I've never used myself, these are a little more "exotic".

Fiora (Character from Xenoblade Chronicles)
Paz (I think it's pronounced "path"...., I saw the name in a webcomic)
Ayilla (I just made this one up on the spot, pronounced "aey-a-la")

I don't know. It comes down to one's personal preference, so just choose the names that suit you best. No one can choose a name for you, and while it may suit them well, you may not like it or feel comfortable with it at all. :)

Back on topic. I usually go with the default names since I'm not the least bit creative, or just go for Gary since I love his attitude. Names were something I didn't really care much about, and I still don't.

I'm not sure what I'm naming my character. My RSE starter was named Scarlett, and I named my XY character Scarlett because I never thought Hoenn remakes were going to happen!

I do like the names Indigo and Violet. I'm a sucker for the color-based names, like Scarlett.

Altairis September 27th, 2014 2:10 PM

I must +1 Kamina, since I thought the character you're naming him after is awesome! :) If I were picking a name out of your selection, I would go with Peyton, Indigo, or Kamina for a boy; Violet or Keiko for a girl. I usually just pick a random name that I like when I playthrough Pokemon games, but this time I know that I'm going to use my own name for Alpha Sapphire. :]

Shrew September 27th, 2014 11:21 PM

Which name do you feel most comfortable having it displayed in the PSS, loud and proud to strangers? I think that's pretty important, at least to me. Which is why I'd personally recommend against generic names such as Brendan, May, and Sapphire.

I personally like either Peyton, Violet, or Indigo (the name of my BW2 rival, haha.)

Is Violet still not allowed? >_> The fact that its a color between Red and Blue would have been very fitting.

Morgnarok September 30th, 2014 8:57 AM

I just use my username. Back in the old days when nicknames had a lesser character limit I shorted it to Symbiox but now a days at least in X & Y it was lengthened.

defeu October 18th, 2014 4:32 PM

I usually just use my real name.

clbgolden November 12th, 2014 2:01 PM

I'd go with your real name (Peyton).

PS: Didn't know you could change you're name in ORAS until I saw this.

Wait, what's this about changing your name?

HairyLoco November 12th, 2014 2:33 PM

Since Pokémon Yellow, I have always, without fail, played the male character named Ash.
That tradition is going to continue.

Reiperchdstalaschten November 12th, 2014 2:39 PM

I usually use either Dave or Ross. Otherwise a random name.

CalzoneCannon November 12th, 2014 4:14 PM

I normally name myself Cal, Calzone, or Calvin (My name), although I usually play as the male character. I always pick May when it comes to 3rd gen, so I need to think of a female name for May, since I do not like using base names, it's just unoriginal.

I've thought of so far:
Callie
Sapphire (not original, but it fits)
Leah
Kana
Azami
and Fei

Hiatus November 12th, 2014 6:22 PM

I likely stick by their original names, to be honest; if I choose male character, I'll be going with Brendan, and if I pick female, I will use May.

Though, I'll definitely consider using my actual name, Ashley, in one of my future runs (that is, if I do decide to play more than one or two times, which is likely considering how much I've loved RSE and how big of a fan I am of Hoenn region in general).

Indigo November 13th, 2014 2:42 PM

So, after long thought I have narrowed the names down to the following

Male:
Indigo
Peyton

Female:
Violet (Vivi if it is still not allowed, could someone please tell me why it's banned?)
Keiko

Feel free to keep recommending! I would still love ideas!

Lol, talk about banned. I tried to name my Chespin in XY "Pork U. Pine" and it was banned. The reason it was banned, I narrowed down to the word "Pine". My guess is because of Pines which sounds like P**** if you said it in spanish...

-_- You've got to be kidding me. Nintendo and Game Freak really need to refine their censors.

Pochama95 November 13th, 2014 6:37 PM
