What's your character's name going to be?
 
Will you name Brendan or May a pre-loaded name they typically offer, will you name one of them after you, or will it be something custom?


See, I was going to name Brendan "Steven" since that is my real name and it's been my name in all of the games (with the exception of the original RSE games), but seeing as Steven is a big part of the story, I won't want my name to be his.
So, I'm likely going to name Brendan "Nate" since that's my name on Defiance.

Since this is a remake of RS, I'm going to go with my very first Pokemon name: Ruby for OR, Sapphire for AS.

Yes, it's also a reference to the Adventures RS manga.

jermgray1 November 19th, 2014 6:36 PM

My name -- Jeremy

Candy November 19th, 2014 6:39 PM

I'm planning to go as a guy since I'm playing OR, so I can't go with my regular name Tempus.

But seeing that I still want my names to be time-related (Tempus means time, go Google Translate it), I'll be going as... Chronos! Wait, that sounds a bit too cool. Hmm...

Emboar November 19th, 2014 6:39 PM

I always name my character after me the first time I play a game, so my character will be named John.

Disolia November 19th, 2014 6:52 PM

My characters name change from generation to generation. This generation however I think I'll finally go with the name "Disolia" Which, I surprisingly haven't done before.

Pendraflare November 19th, 2014 7:01 PM

For the game I keep everything on and try for completion, i'll likely name myself Scott, which is my real name. But that might get awkward if the BF-owning chump makes an appearance...

But in fun playthroughs it'll obviously vary on my character and type of play i'm doing.

Hikamaru November 19th, 2014 7:04 PM

I'll be going with Nichole again, which is my real name. Also, I accidentally named myself "Terra" when I played the original Ruby so for these remakes I want to make up for that mistake.

clbgolden November 19th, 2014 7:13 PM

I'm naming him after myself.

Jacrad November 19th, 2014 8:11 PM

Skylar. I made a personal rule to only use names that would result in only MissingNo.s appearing from the Old Man glitch back in Generation One. Jacrad is one name, but perfectly fitting as well is 'Skylar.'
I get both my hidden glitchiness and puns. *0*

Dustmop November 19th, 2014 11:14 PM

Probably same as always; Alessa.

It's a nickname that I've basically adopted, and prefer over my real name. Most of the time I get to name my character, she's Alessa.

pkmin3033 November 19th, 2014 11:18 PM

I'm not sure, actually. I will definitely be playing as May, because I've never liked Brendan's design. I might just call her "Zeria" if nothing comes up between now and then, I like the name. Or "Celestia" perhaps. It depends on my mood really; I never use my real name. xD

~RNC~ November 20th, 2014 12:00 AM

I have been playing (not since) but crystal, but have always used the same name I played ruby and sapphire, so it will be as always ~RNC~.

epicbiscuit23 November 20th, 2014 12:23 AM

Adam of course. It's my real name so why not?

Creame November 20th, 2014 2:38 AM

If I can finally put my name properly Joëlle - with the dots - that would be great.. If not, I'm still deciding between Joelle or Jojo (which is my nickname..)

Kikaito plush November 20th, 2014 3:04 AM

I will be naming my character after an OC of mine "Angeline"

Nah November 20th, 2014 5:38 AM

After years of never really knowing what I wanted to name my characters, I settled on a pair of names to use for all my playthroughs: Stella and Elsa. I used Stella on my Y, so this time I'm gonna use Elsa. And this is only the second time I've used Elsa in Pokemon, the first time being on my White back in 2011.

Mega_Kris November 20th, 2014 5:46 AM

I name it by whatever legendary pokemon is in the game just to be a troll.

Hann November 20th, 2014 5:53 AM

I used to pick a random name I liked, because my name doesn't fit (and doesn't sound good in English and is a bit difficult to pronounce). I usually disliked that name after a while and then I'd have to start over etc. I usually go with the male character too, so 'Englishing' my name (which would be Hannah or something similar) didn't really work for that. For some reason I've only recently (a year or so ago) figured that I'd short my name to Hann which I now use in practically every game I play.

Centipede Chan November 20th, 2014 6:03 AM

I am going to name May "Korynne" (pronounced Core-Rin), which is my trans middle name. Yeah MtF here woop woop.

Judge Mandolore Shepard November 20th, 2014 7:16 AM

Since I have a feeling that "Mandolore" will not fit the name spaces, I will probably be naming my character "Mando"

In 6th Gen the character limit was changed to 12, so you will be able to fit it in.

Way too awkward.

I think I've decided: OR guy as Chronos, AS girl as... Candella! Last time I named a character after myself was back at Pokemon Black, and there wasn't enough space so it ended up being Candela haha. This time however, especially since it's in AS, I'll be naming her after myself.

Of course, I'm getting OR first since my friend wants to get AS first. Well... it'll wait 'til December or January I guess.

Flushed November 20th, 2014 8:18 AM

TOMATO SOUP 5ever

Really random name, but I liked Tomato Soup in XY, so I'll be sticking with it this time around.

Firox November 20th, 2014 9:16 AM

For my first run, I'll probably name my character after my grandma, Maria.
