How do you name your open world characters?

[StaceyPowers]

When you create a new character in an open world game, how do you name them?

It depends on the game, in Skyrim I'm Ragnar (Vikings TV series).

[The Blackangel]

I either go with my nickname or screen name typically. My nickname is Panda due to my love of bamboo. The Blackangel is a name that I've had for over 20 years.

[Executor Akamia]

If it's one where I can't play with other people in any capacity, I usually use my real name. In ones where multiplayer options exist, I usually go with my usual screen name, Akamia.

[TheSteelyardDweller]

whatever pops into my brain first that is my name. just wanna get to the game!

[DylanC]

Like Akamia, I usually use my real name for characters in RPGs. 

[The Blackangel]

If the game has its own suggestion, most of the time I'll just go with that. But my previous statement still stands.

[Aerielle del Rosario]

I would mix my names like Lle, Aer, Rea, and etc.

It depends on the type of game, type of character and sometimes, it depends on my mood. For example, if I'm trying to troll someone in-game I'll add part of their name "killatrash" or something along those lines. My vampiric battlemage's name in Skyrim is Drakul.

I think naming based on the ancient culture names or say the tribes which were documented yet destroyed can be a good change of routine I guess.

I do occasionally give my characters a ridiculous name for a certain challenge I created for myself to complete in-game. For instance, I have a Skyrim character named FrisbeeBoy and he uses a throwing weapon mod but it looks like a Frisbee. It hardly does any damage normally but with buffs it can output some ridiculous damage.
