Do you also struggle to name characters in vidya?

>>3490543Nope, I have 3 names I've been using for the last 25 years. Normal, fanatsy and sci-fi

>>3490543Bundáskenyér (french toast but more batter and oil)
>>3490543No I love it. I like trying to make up names where names of the same race or class seem etymologically related. I'm currently playing Sword of Aragon (more of a strategy game than an RPG but has elements of both) and the best part is I get to name the army units as well as the individual heroes. I first thought about naming them with a number system (like 95th Rifles etc.) but then ended up going with local (or made up) place names where I imagine the recruits come from (the Garrish Bowmen, Aladda Spearmen etc.). And then I have some personal bodyguards and hirdmen named after the lord they serve. It's great.
>>3490543Parmesan is a cute name for a kitten.
>>3490643Popkorn too
>>3490543Cheese
>>3490543Noodles :3
>>3490543Pork Sandwich.And not really. I have a few names I always use, and if I'm doing a wildly different character I'll find a name generator with a theme that would suit them best.I don't use the names straight from the generator since that seems lazy; I run it a few times, get the general gist of the rules for that naming theme, and then make up a name that conforms to it as best it can while also sounding fitting/pleasant to me.I'll also look up the ingame characters to see exactly how fantasy/sci-fi/etc their names are to make my character's name fit better.Don't want my high fantasy in a low fantasy or my low fantasy in a high fantasy.

>>3490543buckwheat makes for a cute kitty name :3
>>3490718Otay
>>3490543Dog>t. chinkoid

>>3490543cough drop
>not a single post said PussyNGMI
Pot-StickerAnyway I pick a theme and go from there things like king Richard and notable members of his court or how many ways can I came everyone based on the name "Adel" sp on so forth
>>3490543I’ve got a common name I’ll use if there’s only one character and I’m not strictly roleplaying. Otherwise, I’ve used the same name generator site for probably over a decade, and it’s added dozens and dozens of series- and context-specific generators. It really comes in handy to make lore-friendly names for stuff like Elder Scrolls games.
>>3490961>not a single post said highschool-tier jokeThank God it's not summer.
>>3490543I got over my naming woes by having a set of names I use for everything, depending on sci-fi, fantasy, race, class.
>>3490980>/vrpgins/
>>3490543Taco the little Vato
>>3490728ancient one
>>3490543No, I just use ASOIAF character names
>>3490847It tastes pretty good actually. Try mixing it with fruit or honey.
>>3490543i'm calling all my characters tony or thomasemily if female. those are average names and suits my characters well, i prefer to play as a normal ass dude surrounded by usual rpg supernatural bullshit
>>3490543CumAlso, not really. I have a name that I use whenever the game lets me self-insert, but in other cases I either use a word from another language or use some themed names(for example, I named my party members in Wizards and Warriors after Kabbalah's sephirots)
>>3490543Nah, its pretty simple.The mc gets my own name for immersion purposesCharacters i dont like will get a name like "pussy" or "retard" or other shit depending on the situation (example: in final fantasy 6, i remember finding a female party member who was being tortured by some baddies, so when it came to actually name her, i decided to name her something like "Masok" because i joked about her being masochistic)And of course, i give what i consider fitting names to other chars
bump
>>3490543>Girl Mia, Tania or Lenneth >DudeArk, Marco or Guy>Unisex if necessary Robin>The catTaco de pastor
Sometimes I use my own name.When I'm playing an SMT game, sometimes I call him Shin.Or I just make some shit up, there's not really a pattern.the cat is Winegum btw, pretty cute name
>>3490543Tunaand yes I do struggle very much, at least on the first playthrough. If I like the lore enough I'll take a past name or something from another character and go from there
>>3491153>Tuna
>>3490543MarshmallowsNo. I already have go-to names for both genders if the game lets me use only one character.If it's a jrpg where I have to name an entire party then I'll usually go with a theme like for example pasta names for males and pasta sauce names for females. Or herbs, tea, coffee, anything really as long as there's a theme.
I'm always half afraid whenever I have to choose a name someone else in the game will show up WITH that name. It's never actually happened. But I worry about it anyways.
>>3491167Take their name and be the superior character.
>>3491175>Hi. AAAAAAAA, I’m AAAAAAAAI liked how in Baldurs Gate when you picked someone’s portrait they had an alternate backup portrait they switched to
>>3490543I just always name male characters Nate Higgers and name female characters Kate Hikes
>>3490961Bottom bitch or Chinese
>>3490546Mostly do the same as this, though I have more names and I sometimes make new ones to fit a setting like if a game has gaelic names I'll use a gaelic one to fit in.
>>3491451>Bottom bitchPeople really think so?
>>3491167A good game wouldnt let you have the same name as another character anyways
tendies/tendy?
>>3491745?
>>3491847I think he ate only one chicken tender, so now he's curious if he should give the cat the plural or singular form.
