Naming Characters in games

[Rodak]

I have mentioned that I am playing through Final Fantasy 9 a couple times and just today made an astonishing breakthrough of which I am so proud I decided to share.

I always name characters stupid things... I can't help it... OK, maybe I can, but I don't want to help it, so never mind.

I named the main character Dip**** for fun. I kept playing for a bit and wound having to name the little black mage.

I was in a hurry and just named him ****dip to go with the first name.

Then I saved and did not feel like starting over so I kept the names.

I got to the very angry guard and tried to keep the anagram game going, so I named him Pisdhit (when he gets pisd, he hits).

Next was the pretty girl... that was easy: Dishpit.

The Gourmand was obviously DipThis (Vocabulary fun: Gourmand is the antonym of Gourmet!).

I was getting stuck on the jumping girl so settled for HidSpit (we know where she put it!).

The big guy who likes hurting stupid people became HitDips.

But the crowning Glory was the little girl with the dark secret who got named Phistid.

I did it!

I named 8 characters with anagrams of a naughty word and still kept the names meaningful to the personality of the character (some more so than others, but they all work on some level!).

Am I the only one who does things like this while playing Video Games? To me it is at least half the fun!

Peace.

I once went through everyname in my class and family and made another name based off a system.

Take the first consonent and first vowel in first middle then last name
EX:Brock Jordan Nash->->->Bojona!

You get some cool ones too.
Here's my family's
Basona
Buryna
Dobuna
Pedena

I've used quite a few Doanians in my Z:LA game. I also like coming up with names that have deeper meaning or origin. Like in my book the main character's name is "neo theo", new god. There's also a goddess Narco that goes into eternal rest, narco...narcotics...sleep.

Anyways there's usually something to creatively spawn character's names. Occasionally i use common names on purpose cause I find them funny. Names like Bob, , Tom, Charley, Bill, etc... I hate common names.
