Character Names - are you going for a popular one?

edited August 2008 in General Discussion
I was reading one of the threads here and this came up

So who is gonna name their char "God" "Jesus" etc? Or are they banned?

I think its funny to have one of those "MOST WANTED" names, that everyone goes for, used to do that in Diablo, but now I prefer randomly generated cute names, rather than witty ones

Also, what names do you think will be taken 100% sure in the first minute it goes live?

    Wonder how many Naruto's and Ichigo's we'll see at the launch. Im a bit tempted to create bunch of characters with the names XxNarutoXx or oOolegolasoOs just to make sure I wont see them ingame :p

    The char names I'm gonna use are rarely taken, so no worries there ^_^

    I wouldn't use 'popular' anime names even if I got them.. it just makes you seem unoriginal.

    Popular names are meh... I much prefer using a name I created from scratch. The name is part of what defines a character. Popular names get copied alot. IMO, a name like "Naruto3474" is pretty much like saying "I'm generic peon #3474". And since there will be tons of Naruto's around, even the original "Naruto" will be totally generic amidst the crowd.

    You can replace Naruto with any overused name in my example btw.

    I meant like the plain 'Naruto'. And even..

    Say I like Ichigo from bleach, sure, cool character and all. But naming yourself doesn't make you become ichigo, it just proves you're an unoriginal fan.

    Always better to make your own original name, i have 3 and over the years i have never had a problem with someone already using my name. I find it more interesting when people have a meaning or joke behind there name.

    I might create some Ryuuzaki's, just because it's my forum name. Won't actually use them to play with though.

    My names are usualy taken, so I just hope I'm fast enough this time.
    There should be a Sephi-Guild and a Cloud-Guild constantly fighting each other btw... just to keep the balance.

    If I see another "Ina", or a name with "Ina" at the front of it, that person will suffer repeated death, or annoying mind attacks.
    88 FIRE! An "anti-tank" projectile, accompanied by an AC-130 are on their way to ensure insanity.
