Ever since I started training back in 1996 on my Red version, I've been naming my character LINDSEY. So in my Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions I named myself and my rival the same thing: Me: LINDSEY Rival: KINDLE (I used to have a friend named Kindle, so yeah).
Pearl:
Me: Tanya
Rival: Fay
The time I made the names I was a somewhat unhealthy Tsubasa fangirl and named the rival Fay cuz It looked like him alot :P
My names on all my Pokémon games have ether been Takoto or my real name. In Diamond my rival was named Damian, and in Platinum he was named Apollo. I forget what I called him in Pokémon Pearl, though.
