I just leave it to default because I like to have "official" options picked in my games.

Well I almost always name my character Daisuke because it's my favorite Japanese based name and it's the name of one of my favorite manga characters (Yes, Daisuke Niwa from DNAngel...)

Gunslinger. I've been using Gunslinger since I came up with it when I played Soldier Front way back. It was jsu cool, and I've always liked shooters and more specifically stylish gunplay. Unfortunately on MMOs it's almost always taken so I fall to GunslignerV or *shudders* Gunslinger with random numbers on it. In other situations with a character where I really feel like Gunslinger doesn't fit I'll come up with a different cool and fitting name.

Depends on my mood when I first start the game I guess. If I feel like being creative I'll name it something silly. Or if I'm kinda angry, well usually doesn't have such a nice name anymore. Otherwise if I just wanna get through it and not caring I'll just use the default name.

I like the name, Hanzou, so I use it a lot. It just sounds cool and it's from a ninja manga I read a long time ago.

I usually would put my own name down on the game. Also I would also use Jay for most of the other games other than Pokemon. As for that, I usually use the names that is used on the show. For example, if i were playing Ruby, Emerald, or Sapphire, I would most definately use May for the name when playing as the female character.

I usually use a name realted to fire or other powerful "influences". Pyrus(fire), Blaze, Tsuki (Japanese for Moon, not to be confused with suki), or Kira(don't ask). The first two for Males and the second two for Females.

If it's a game with many characters, like Final Fantasy, I'll keep the default names, but if it's a game such as Harvest Moon, I'll make it my own name. Unless it's a guy, then I'll name it Link. (:

Of course my name is always a good fall back standard. I used to use the name Ash alot, and Kain is another particular favorite of mine. My newest standard name is Terces, a random name that I chose for a character back in the day. True story, 6 months after I'd been playing this character someone said "Oh, hey! That's secret backwards!" And I had no idea. Totally blew my mind.

I always name the main character either to my nick name (Adum). Then if I play the game again I usually name it something not quite appropriate...

Most of the time I choose my own name to name a charcter, or my brother's name. But when I am bored, I come up with odd names and name the character. One name I came up with was Abcod.

I usually use whatever the game has by default. Otherwise I try to use something that sounds funny when added to the dialog ingame.

I've always been a big role player since a kid, playing table top D&D with my buddies, and I've actually developed several well thought out characters, with plenty of history and backstory. That being said, usually when I'm given the option to name characters in games, I tend to throw in one of my characters name, somewhat based on how I think that character would act and how closely it'd relate with one of my characters. Then of course I really get into the game, imagining how my psuedo-character would be acting in various events in the games plot.

Sometimes I'll use a name from one of David Eddings books such as Garrion, or depending on what I'm playin I might use a name from one of my old favorite games like most recently I named a fighter type class Zell or something along those lines
