I'm glad I stopped doing that. I usually name DQ characters after myself, because it's not round-the-clock boning in those games, but everything else, I name after someone else.

Jesus. The first time I played through Seiken Densetsu 3, I had Hawk as my main, and Lise/Angela as my other two. I named Hawk after myself and left those two alone. How pathetic.

Naming female characters in games is particularly awkward for me, since I have never had a girlfriend, have no female friends, and don't have many male friends either. This is why I often end up going with whatever the "canon" names are in a game. Earthbound, for example.
