    hmm i was wundering if ne of you change your name when playing a game. like in games like rpgs (pokemon, final fantasy) if you change the name of the person you play as (from ash to...from tidus to..., etc). and wut you change it to, if you do. they also have these name changes in shootting games sumtimes (also when played online) and sports games sumtimes. sooo wut do yoou call yourself when playing video games?

    i call myself minjigga. if i change it at all.

    In almost every game I call him Adam (me). In Halo I named him qwe123456789, and in Chrono Cross I left it as Serge because that sounds cool. In Star Ocean you can change there name anytime, from Bob, to Pete, to ..Teddz..lol

    ....Right.

    I usually have a "über" version of Teddz.

    Exampel: In WarCraft III i am always night elves, so My Name changes into Tedz il Dahl

    StarCraft: Captian Teddz

    Diablo: Volrath (Paladin) Sîrendil (Sorceress). ( Influence from basiclly Fanatasy books and Magic :) )

    Heroes of Might & Magic: Lord Teddz, Tédz il Vec, Greven Tedz etc.

    My sources often comes from magic the gathering cards, fanatasy books. I make up a name that suits the charatcher or team that i am :)

    If a game has a default name, I always keep it at that. I despise having to come up with names - they never sound right in the end.

    There is one given, tho. Whenever I play the first Final Fantasy, I always name one Cid. Gotta have a Cid. :)

    For online handles, I usually stick with straight "BakaMattSu".

    Name changing huh? I must admit that I rename my chracters all the time. One name I take pride in is calling Cloud... Cloud Boy. I donno it was random and I always call him that. All my other games I just chose random Japanese or Korean names. Some names in games are too dull so I liven them up a bit. The name has to fit though.

    Here's a fun old topic. I think I should revive it. *Calculates precise level of power needed*

    Raifu... 15!

    There we go.

    For most video games, I leave the names the same. (Ie. Cecil (FFIV) will always be Cecil) but for online games and games that there are no defaults, I (obviously) use Shinryu.

    However, the name is taken in so many online games that I came up with a bunch of back-ups, just in case. Among them are, Shinryuu (usually taken), Saint, Ebony Dragon (don't ask), and my random FF1 remake names, Chiju, Dejon, Purin, and Vurot. Let's see someone take those! (Yes, they really are random)

    Anyone else?

    [EDIT]On Diablo II, I'm Chiju. Some jerk took Shinryu, and some other jerk took Shinryuu. I never play online anymore, though. It's probably expired.
