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 the past since it felt sort of.. boring? but no other name or alias has ever fully felt like me the way my actual name does, so i'm really happy i went with it in new horizons! i don't see myself ever not naming my characters in any game my actual name from now on.

 

[~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
