The hero is always named after me. (Unless I'm lazy in which case the name is default) The other characters are named after my friends around me at the time. I just hate when you're limited to 4-5 charaters for each name. Mines only 5 but the shortened versions are always so If you're having trouble downloading a ROM, remember to only click 'Download' once, and don't use a download accelerator!in' dumb.

I just leave it as default because I usually regret it if I don't and sometimes it is minorly influential to the plot not so much on gba games but like in FF9 when you name garnet and she takes the dagger and ask what its called, and its kinda stupid if you name her something else and if it there is no default I usually name it my name unless I can think of something cool on the spot

Usually, I'll try to name my character Taitoshin, but more often than not, I have to settle with Taito, due to restraints to the number of letters lolIf it's a girl, I usually name her Nina, mostly because of my "fanboy-ism" with the Breath of Fire Ninas :P (excluding the fifth >_<)

Basically, I would name the character with the default name. If there is no default name, I would name the character Eliwood or Derrick.

I just use whatever name they have for me or change it to Seth or Lyon. Why you ask? They're just two names I like. :)

If there's a preset name for a character, I almost always use it. When I choose my own name, it tends to be Gwyneth for a girl and Ian for a boy.

I'd only give the character another name if the default is something weird like "Icarus" or "Mishnu"

I like to give them names like "Punk" or "Interesting fact! I'm actually an idiot." for men and name like "Winston Churchill is one of the most awesome men in history." for women.Then, dialogues between characters are more fun. :P
