Do you have go-to names?

[Dyne]

When I was a kid I'd always name the character my name. I guess I just thought thats what you were supposed to do. But when I got older I started to prefer using the default name. If the character doesn't have a default name, I usually just go with Dyne.

None in particular.
I usually choose female characters, so I use female japanese names.
Although on PKMN games I always use JJ for the girl, always my choice.
Rico if I have to use a name for a save file.

In Zelda I go with either Icare or 009.

I'm not creative.

I used to use a single name for main characters of all RPG games i play... but it caused some confusions!
I sometimes played games and my parents watched and i was dubbing the game for them live!
However, later whenever i wanted to refer to those games, i was calling all of them "story of <goto-name>"!

So i decided to use different names for main characters of each game, giving each of them a separate personality.

Also, later i decided to use default names when there's a good enough one... because it will be etched in my memory, and later, seeing people calling my beloved characters with other names... ugh... i just can't stomach it!

I generally choose the most idiotic or ridiculous names for everyone, such as names of cheeses or other foods.

Default names if the games had them, or random name generators if the feature is available.

Otherwise,

simply because my real name is close enough.

Your name has a square root?
