Do you share a name with your mayor?

[debinoresu]

yes my real name is Debbie you have caught me red handed

 

[milkysugar]

Nah, I don't even share a gender with him c;
I never like to play as myself in games, it sort of ruins the escapism for me. I play games to forget myself.

 

[Hypno KK]

It isn't. I used to name my characters after myself in most games back in the day but now I usually don't. The main reason is that since newer games, especially among handheld games, make online playing a big feature (like ACNL and Pokemon X&Y), I don't want strangers to see my real name. It isn't an uncommon one by any means but it doesn't make me feel comfortable. I probably would if we could have an in-game name and then set a different one when playing online.

 

[Tairgire]

My mayor's name is similar to my name, but not the same.

Funny story, though -- in Wild World, I named my character a particular name. I'd forgotten about it for a while, forgotten about the town, and forgotten what I named the player character. I recently gave my DS and that game to my six-year-old. The name is the same as hers. That made her super happy.

 

[Matthew]

I used my real name as I do with all of my video games. My mayors name is Matthew

 

[Ettienne]

Nope! My mayor's name is apparently French for Stephen (Etienne), though I had always been told it was also a female Latin name. Plus, in Louisiana it has become a female name for years now. Of course, didn't stop me from adding an extra "t" for emphasis on that. Mayor Ettienne. c:

 

[jebug29]

I did. I remember back in one of my ACGC towns my name was the pawprint symbol. I don't know why.

 

[MadisonCrossing]

My mayor is named after me, Madison, but my town, Macaron, isn't named after an actual town or place.

 

[Mercedes]

Yes I love my name so yep.

 

[mayordan]

nip nop my name is dan and the mayors name isnt

 

[Glaceon2000]

Yup! I've never used any other name for AC, but when I get my second copy I'm choosing a different name. Two characters named the same thing would be weird, after all.

 

[samsquared]

Yes.
I have a short, stylish nickname. I like it just fine, and it feels weird to name her something like "Fiore" or "Diane".

 

[DaCoSim]

Nope my msyor's name is after my bird, Midori

 

[The221Believer]

Nope. My name is pretty boring; when I have the chance to use other, prettier names, I'm taking it.

In Pokemon I've been using Lorelei for years now. Maybe I'll change it up for Alpha Sapphire.

 

[ForkNayon]

No, but Forky is my nickname for anything and everything, so...

 

[JellyBeans]

Yeah, Mayor Jess. Jessica is my real name but Jess is easier

 

[Yui Z]

Yeah, I want people to know that Yui isn't my real name (believe it or not, some people think it is). My main character is name Zoey, after myself.

 

[mahkala]

on my first save i didn't, really. i named my mayor twiggy which is a nick name of mine.
but the second time around i decided to use my real name. Mahkala (pronounced like makayla.)
i use my name as usernames a lot. because it's usually never in use. c:
(skype, instagram, even a few wow toons.)

 

[kittylover1379]

I used my real name as Mayor because I use that person ( because its ME! ) alot and I wanted to play as my self.

 

[Naiad]

Nope. My mayor's name is the same as my username.
