Did you name your islander after yourself?

[Kittenleap]

Hello Just wondering if you named your islander after yourself, I honestly thought about doing it but went with my oc's name Rina which I use all the time.

 

[Croconaw]

Nope, lol. I named my islander Croconaw. I’ll occasionally shorten it to Croco, but not all the time. I haven’t given any character in any game my real name.

 

[Introspective Onlooker]

I also don't tend to give my avatars my real name. They aren't me, so it seems pointless.

 

[Pokeking]

No. I took a Japanese language course several years ago and the teacher gave us all Japanese names so I've used that for my avatar when gaming.

 

[Xara]

i did! i never named my character after myself in previous games since i hate my birth name, but i use my name for everything now now that i go by something else and will be legally changing my name.

 

[~Kilza~]

Yeah, I did. I always use ~Kilza~ (or Kilza if I can't tilde it up) whenever a game gives me the option to name my character.

 

[Bui]

Negative. I never use my real name when naming characters in video games.

 

[KittenNoir]

I used my real name as I was just so happy I could fit my 9 lettered name haha because I could not fit my name in New Leaf and it annoyed me for years !!!!

 

[TurnipBell20]

I used my real nickname? Lol.

 

[Imbri]

I generally use my name for characters. I'd be hard pressed to think of a game where I haven't.

 

[azurill]

No I didn’t. I always use my oc’s name for all my games.

 

[Foreverfox]

I use Fox for all of my game characters. It's my real nickname, if that counts for anything. In fact, I'd say I go by that more often than Lori anymore.

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

Well, not at first. I named my rep Zelda before I even identified as a demigirl (which was what I was before I came out as non-binary), I thought it was a cool name (and I'm a huge Zelda fan). I was thinking of changing my name to Zelda, but it's sounding like a 'no' at the moment.

 

[daringred_]

nope. never have, never will. it always feels weird, and i always get a bit 'meh' when i hear my full first name anyway. i don't want to be reading it lmao. makes me cringe a bit.

 

[TheWildShadow55]

I can't ever think of anything else to use and I'm fine with my name, so yes my islander is just my real name

 

[squidney]

Squid is a nickname ive had for years so I gave myself it. My ac main characters are always named squid too lol

 

[DJ-Mika]

I didn't lol <XD
I don't like using my real name for online or in-game stuff so I always use my internet username if I can help it: Mika
My sister used her real name though

 

[Livia]

no because I don’t play as myself in games.

 

[Rosch]

Rosch is a nickname I made up and given my player character on Pokemon Black/White. Since then, I've been using that name on other games. It's Ross (one of the plenty nicknames I've given myself), but I love the alternate spelling. I sometimes use Rosh. When the game character I play as is female, I name her Roschette.

 

[icefang]

yup
