I like "Postal Dude" because they actually make it into his canon name in later installments despite how it sounds like a fan nickname.

Does the vaguely defined "Commander" from xcom count?
Otherwise it's definitely Not Important.

Always forget that game even existed, which is hilarious given the drama it caused.

My least favorite is "Chosen One" from Fallout 2 because it makes you sound like a self-centered prick.

I like the RuneScape protagonist if it counts.
Most of the stories come from you being an unknown, 70 iq adventurer just stumbling into trouble, and having to solve problems you created (either through incompetence or obvious manipulation). The type of guy to blindly follow the request of an evil witch just because she asked nicely.

Outside of RS3 anyway, over there it gets into "you're the super special, badass, gods-chosen hero of the world!" nonsense

Boomer shooter devs were wildly uncreative and bad at writing, so they always made the main character a player avatar.
