6th Gen Did you ever refuse a nickname in X/Y and just use your name instead?

[EC]

As you know, in the beginning of X/Y, you get asked by your soon to be friends if you want them to use a nickname for you. They give you three options and an option to choose you own. Have you ever picked that last option and just put your name back in?

 

[Desert Stream~]

Yep, almost every time LOL. Sometimes I put my initials instead.

 

[Radiating]

Yep, I just put my actual name. They're nicknames were horrible.

If your name started with a d, they would propose "Big D"...

 

[Nah]

I did the second time since I had no ideas for what nickname they should've called me

 

[blue]

On a couple of occasions, I'd use their suggestions just for the sheer fact that I wasn't creative enough nor could I be bothered to come up with a better name. There have been times when I've totally gone against that though and used my own name, yeah.

 

[kitarei]

I chose my own nickname - but I didn't make it my original name.

My character name was Bella and my nickname was Bee.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Does it count if I entered my own name with "Queen" right before it? Because that's what I did, and I like to imagine those chumps were bowing before "Queen Lisa" and basking in my glory every time they showed up.

But yeah, the nicknames they come up with are dumb. The "L-Kins" one they suggested is basically a city (Elkins) in West Virginia.

 

[Desert Stream~]

Yeah, the nicknames are so bad... Like, putting big before any name sounds akward to me xD

 

[moon]

I jokingly said they should call me Dark Lord.


Now I'm super seriously playing, but they still call little cutesy Rika protagonist DARK LORD whenever they meet up.

 

[L'Belle]

Always. Hate the nickname function.

 

[Rivvon]

I just used my name again for the nickname the first time I played. It was kind of weird in some instances. They tried portraying Trevor as a character who felt it was "too soon" to start referring to someone by a nickname, and there was at least one instance of him saying "Hey, [Name]-- Uh, I mean, [Nickname]," which definitely sounds weird if you used the same name for your nickname. As cute of a feature as it is, I think it definitely works better in Japanese, where people will refer to others with differing honorifics depending on how close they are, and may even shorten their name when doing so.

 

[Hikamaru]

I just got them to call myself Nichy, since you know... short for Nichole?

 

[Starry Windy]

I decided to take the fourth option and asked them to just refer me by the nickname Windy, just like how I'm usually called in here.

 

[Altairis]

Honestly can't remember what I had them call me. What were the options, does anyone remember? I would check but I don't have my XY with me right now haha.

 

[MythicalSerenade]

It did annoy me, but I resorted to making them call me 'Lord' because it seemed hilarious (and they're below me >:) )

 

[The Voice Inside Your Head]

I simply requested that they call me by my first initial, C.

 

[The Best there was]

Every time.

 

[Tek]

Never. I have them call me either T-Dog or Boss.

 

[Mimikyu402]

it depends I usually make them call me something with " name + sama after "

 

[Alakazam17]

In my very first playthrough I chose "Lady J" from the options they gave me, but in every subsequent playthrough I just chose my real name.
