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

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.

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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