Will you be using your real name or a different name?

I will probably name my character Vanessa. I have found in the past that if my player isn't representative of me and has a different name, I get disconnected from the game. I really like to imagine that it is myself inside AC world.
 
actually, good question!
it really depends on if i want to have a themed town or not-
i might just use the info that i have in my current acnl town- my mayors name is violet.
 
My name is has nine letters in it and the limit has always been eight, so if they don't change that I'll have to come up with something else lol. I've always used a shortened version of my real name or a name starting with the same letter, but it'd be nice to use my real one in NH.
 
my real name is unique enough and i like having life sim games to be as close to me as possible
 
I'll use my real name. Is's a Dutch name and doesn't transfer to english that well tho.
 
I've never used my real name in video games. For New Horizons, I'm gonna pick yet again names which I like and where I think they fit to my characters.
 
Of course I will, I never met anyone that had my name except once in my life, and my character is based off me
 
Normally I'd use my real name, but as this time around I hope to get involved in the online aspect I might pick something else. The trick will be to make it feel like it could be my name for immersion purposes.
 
Pshht little secret :3 My actual name isn't Celina. But I have used it for YEARS now on the internet on every single platform and my OC is named Celina and everything that I sometimes actually forget it's not my real name. I react to it in public, that's always embarrasing :') Anygays, that's why I'll use Celina again. For me, it's like my real name
 
I usually use Aubrey which isn't my real name. Just a name I liked back when new leaf came out and when I made this account I used that name because I liked it lol. But I am going to use my real name in this game which is chasity.

Lol same. My name isn't Aubrey, but I have used it for so long its like my real name.
 
I rarely use my real name in video games and usually go with Yoshi. If being nicknamed is still possible, I would like to be called, Luminary, Shmoopy, or Philip.

I had a cat called Selina, many years ago. :)
 
I usually go with my real name. It's a good name, not very common but not real out there either (I actually saw someone else write it in this thread).

There's a typical nickname for my name that I used in GC and WW but I've since grown out of liking being called that. So now I use my full name and let the animals call me cute nicknames instead. "Flip" tends to be my go-to.
 
I never use my real name in any games I play, especially Animal Crossing, it?s a super common name plus I just find it weird to use my real name. I?ll probably go with Golden or Stella in New Horizons.
