Usually just the canon name if one is available, failing that my main username, although depending on context I might come up with something else.

Either something off this list or some pseudonym that Longmont Potion Castle used.
I'm quite fond of "Jack Maniacki".

Depends on what their relation to the protag is supposed to be, if she's the protag and no name is given... well I haven't come across it yet, but in that case just a name that fits her or that I like.

In high school, I went over to a nice but extremely spergy classmate’s house who wanted to show me some trick in Ocarina of Time. When he booted it up, I couldn’t help noticing his file name was simply “DRAGON” in all caps.

I can’t explain why, but the secondhand embarrassment was nauseating every time an NPC called him that. I probably should have given him more of a chance but I never went back after that.

I just think you didn't like the kid already

I mean, maybe. It was some time ago, so I barely remember anything else about him except his near total lack of facial expressions. I was on the spectrum but this guy was in another league.

What really stuck with me was that it’s not even a good name, and I knew instinctually that this was his name in all games. Just seemed lazy and lame, like that kid you know who named himself “Shadow” or “Blade” regardless of context or setting. Idk. I hope he’s doing alright.

>>730784719
As a kid I always used to put in my real name. I thought that the game could somehow tell if I was lying

The main characters official name
Otherwise a random lore friendly name
>>
>>730784719
If it's a pre-established character like Link I use the default name. If it's a character that's supposed to be a self-insert I use a small handful of names I like based on the setting. If it's a multiplayer game, it's Gaydar, and if that's not available, it's Tardar, and if that's banned, it's some kind of pasta.

>>730784719
Something related to what I was just playing or watching beforehand. Never fails me, especially when otherwise I would have an aneurysm anytime I have to come up with a name on the spot.

My gamertag
in porn games though, it's always Big Boss

It always weirded me out that this fantasy game has this oddly sci-fi looking menu screen.

Dingus is my go to single player name

I make new names every time so as to not play the same character twice

something like "you ass", so that NPCs will say "watch out, you ass!".

I named him after my internet handle. Yes, in 1998 I was in fact already cringe.
