It depends. Sometimes I make up a name, sometimes I name it Akatami (which is lame since that's my name all over the internet). I think my given name is pretty boring, so I don't name any characters Anna. I'll name them after book or movie characters if I'm currently obsessing over some book or movie. For example, my main character in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced is named Artemus because I've been rereading the Artemus Foul series.

Depends on the game and if the main character has an official cannon name otherwise I usually throw in my own name or make up one that I feel fits the character and the setting of the game.

I like to use a name that i use for everything or pick a name that would make the game funnier like naming ur rival on pokemon something like stupid or something derogatory.

I usually give my character a short Japanese name. My name is usually too long to fit in the available spaces.

If the game has a preset name like Link for the Legend of Zelda i stick with the default name unless the name unlocks special features and secrets

For a girl Tayla, Iris, Aroura, Devin. For a boy Silas or Elias. I like these names at the moment but in 2 onths it will probably be different.

If it gives me a name and an option to replace it, i usually leave it as is. But if it doesn't and makes you choose one, I usually use my own.

Always use the preset or game ones. Gives it more of a -i'm not the character- feelingHard to explain.
