Do you use an alias for your character or your real name?

[Queen Greene]

I just my real name (Eve) because it's short and easy to remember. Also, I kinda like including myself in the game somehow if given the option.

 

[Marisska]

I use my real name for my character, but an alias for my Mii

 

[Rachel Ray]

I just use a nickname c:

 

[debinoresu]

I use debbie, a nickname for my username, tho next time I might just go with nathan

 

[WonderK]

Real name.

 

[strawberrywine]

I usually use my real name since it just feels weird to use a name that isn't mine

 

[Sanaki]

Alias. I hate my name.

[Kairi-Kitten]

Alias, while I love my name (Sasha); I prefer using Japanese names lol. (Yup! Otaku here<<<) I do however use my real name in other RPGs such as HM and RF <3

 

[Cadbberry]

I have named a couple characters my real name but usually I just shorten it to Kat

 

[katsuragi]

i use my real name because i have mild dpd but mainly because i don't have any nicknames or anything else i go by

 

[debinoresu]

I'm not sure which to pick. ಠ_ಠ; I'm a trans guy whose parents gave me a girl-exclusive name, but I made my character in New Leaf a guy this time around, and even though Ian isn't my "actual" name.. it kinda is, because that's what my parents were going to name me "if I had been born a boy"?

So.. both?? Neither? Idk. lol

I just noticed this ayyooo transguys unite

the way I see it is that we are born boys just in female bodies? which is why I dont like using female as a synonym for girl or woman

id just consider your "real name" whatever name you personally use to refer to yourself. i hate the name my parents gave me even though its gender neutral so I consider nathan my real name, I think of myself as nathan and im planning to legally change it to nathan in the future, so technically ian is your real name

thats just my view on the whole thing tho

I usually consider "female" to refer purely to sex, too - mostly because I need some sort of word to describe the body I was born with lol. Instead of rambling on "Well, like most cis girls, I was born with a this part, and that part, and when I hit puberty my chest grew, and I have hips (several minutes later) - except I'm a guy"

I agree with the name thing, too - despite the word I used in my response (though the quotes kind of hinted at me not buying the whole "real name" thing lol).

I don't think I'd make Ian my legal name, though.. I just chose it because what I really want is a "given" name - one from my Dad. Reason(s) being;

1. Any time I've ever tried picking a name for myself, I lose interest in it shortly after, or think of one I like better. But for me, a given name from someone like my Dad would have enough meaning to not want to change, even if I would have never chosen the name for myself.
2. I want nothing more than my Dad's acceptance - and him picking out a new name for me would show that. (which is why it would be important enough not to change - even if it's a name I don't personally like)

I only did it once, in my old NL town, but I deleted that town because it was all trashy and had a bunch of weeds and I wanted to start over again ;u; My current mayor is named Stuffy after how I wanted a whole town of lazy cubs. (Still do)

 

[Meira]

I use an alias. I don't really like using my real name. It feels uncomfortable and having to go online and having people know your real name is something I like to avoid.

 

[Luna_Solara]

I always have one character named after me (Jessica) in my towns. My mule characters are usually named after people in my life or variations of my real name.

 

[D-Anii]

Alias, but one of my residents has my real name.

 

[Delphine]

I like it better when it's my real name

 

[spacedog]

my actual name was too long so i just used a nickname lmao

 

[Kazunari]

Definitely an alias. I always go by an alias on the internet and in almost every game, to be honest.

 

[Yui Z]

I prefer to use my real name, although in WW I would use an alias. So my main character is normally named 'Zoey', while my other characters are named the first one that comes to mind.
