6th Gen What's your character's name going to be?

But that might get awkward if the BF-owning chump makes an appearance...

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.
 
TOMATO SOUP 5ever

Really random name, but I liked Tomato Soup in XY, so I'll be sticking with it this time around.
 
For my first run, I'll probably name my character after my grandma, Maria.
 
It's going to be Laura, after my real name :)


It's kind of a nostalgic feeling for me because the first time I ever got to play as my own gender and own name was with May in Emerald, so it's gonna be an awesome feeling playing the upgraded version with my own name and familiar Hoenn team and everything lol :)
 
My in game name will be Tia as it has been in every single game I've played through. It's a funny name for me personally because I am a nurse and TIA is an abbreviation for transient ischemic attack which we see a lot of on my floor.
 
Let's see, as far as non-normal names I've had:
FLAME - Sapphire,
FLARE - Sapphire,
BLAZE - FireRed,
HYDRO - LeafGreen,
EMERALD - Emerald,
GHETSIS - Emerald,
ANAKIN - Diamond,
VADER - Platinum,
SIDIOUS - White,
ALUCARD - White 2,
Soma Cruz - X.
I can't seem to remember exactly what I used in Crystal. It may have had the word cool in it.

For Omega Ruby, I'm thinking of keeping with the Castlevania motif, and going with Dracul. There's also a chance, to commemorate Groudon's promotion to Fire-type, I may once again use a fire-related name.
 
For Omega Ruby, when I play through with Brendan, I'll call him Zed, honoring my character from my original Emerald game.

In Alpha Sapphire, where I'll be May, I'm not too sure yet. Thinking maybe Inke, after my WoW Gnome, or possibly Echo, after my alias on here!
 
With these games being remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, it has to be Brendan and May. I'll be playing as Brendan with Alpha Sapphire and when I eventually get Omega Ruby I'll play as May!
 
Landon: tribute to one of the name choices in Ruby. I think I actually used this during my first Ruby playthrough as well.
 
I can't decide if I want to name my female trainer Ptolemy or Archimedes.
I'm the worst in picking names hence why I haven't started yet.

edit.
I went with Archimedes.
Now, I just need to stick with it until I accept it as final. lol

Whenever I play video games, I always name my male characters as Dinesh, my real first name, and for female characters, well it depends on the game and it's settings.
So yeah, I will be going with the name, Dinesh.
 
Named my character Sierra in OR. Was going to name her after my original, but somehow I never thought of that until I got to this thread. I guess I'll do so when I play AS.
 
I used to give my characters different names, but for XY and AS, I just named him 'Mike' which is obviously my real name lol.
