Well if it is a guy I will usually name it Ernest, my full real name.Although with multiples I name them by my best friends names according to who they look like. Although sometimes I try and get original but the names usually end up lame =(

It varies from game to game.In Legend Of Zelda games I will usually name my character my first name, Chester. In RPGs I choose my 'gamer name': Avery. I think Avery is a more RPG-esque name, compared to Chester. In games where my character's name is never spoken, like in CoD - I'll use my initials, CK. I have a variation of Avery too - Avarice. It's used when I control an evil character or when I'm playing for 100% completion. I got the name Avery from playing Little King's Story on the Wii. My favourite minion was called Avery. He was a hunter, with an eyepatch and a bad-ass mustache!

Generally I try to get creative based on how many spaces I have and what the purpose of the character is. If they're an elemental character I try to do something based on that or if its a pokemon, dryagua for a quagsire or fluffy if its a houndoom. So sometimes not so creative.

I always use the default name. When games don't give one I usually don't even bother playing it.

It really depends on what I'm feeling as well as the character's appearance. usually with the name of one of my OCs if there's enough space. I especially like the character customization features in some games so that I can work on making them appear like how I see them in my mind

Well, it depends entirely on the game. In Zelda games, for instance, I always have at least one profile named Link. Otherwise, if the character is male, I usually go with my own name, or Anna if it's a girl. I don't know why, I've just always liked the way "Anna" sounds.If there are multiple characters (Final Fantasy, for instance) I go with a theme. Like, if I was going with a Scrubs theme, and I was playing FFII, the main character would be named JD, his big friend Turk, and the girl Elliot or Carla.

I'll always name the main character in my Legend of Zelda games link, but otherwise I tend to name my characters DJ or DJC, which is the name I came up with for my wrestling characters based on myself.

I always name them after my favorite Characters from Anime, Manga, or name created by me for my Manga. For some reason, I never name character in the game after me. It felt really strange playing something with your name in it. =.=^

Depends on the game. On FF games, I always leave the default name. On the rest of the games, I usually pick my own name or make up one.

If there's a name already there I usually use it. But if there isn't I'll use "Kama" or "Tema" because I like OC sounding names. Sometimes I'll used vulgar names or Mary-sue too for some lulz.

i used to always choose the preset name for the character or the name i thought the character is supposed to be. In pokemon red and blue, i thought it was Ash (when it was supposed to be Red) so i named it Ash. I generally don't like to come up with a nickname for anything so i just leave it as it was supposed to be. But now (in Pokemon), i just name the character after myself. Other than pokemon, I can't think of a game where I can name the character that I have played.
