View Full Version : Doesn't it suck when someone uses your character's name?

Its a shame that we don't have unique names... I mean does it make you feel less unique and special? A bunch of numbers just doesn't cut it.

Never seen another Nyasia.

Probably because people can barely pronounce it so as it is, so why name a char with a name you can't pronounce?

Akaimizu
Dec 11, 2006, 04:38 PM
Oddly enough. I would think it would suck. All of my names are so "out there" because I make them up, myself. Now when I use a name that could be real, then I guess I should expect it. But right now, I tend to make put my names in the "highly unlikely someone else would've thought it up." category.

Never seen another Ryogen. My name is pure original.

I've been using the same name since PSO v1, and only recently in PSU have I heard of somebody else with the same name (although I haven't seen them). Didn't bother me that much. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

It just means you're not original enough.

I like being able to choose any name I want without having to worry that someone has taken it. Allows for a more enjoyable experience than seeing nicks like ~:+:SSJG0kU_S3ph1r0th:+:~ running around everywhere, though there are still a few who do -_-

Dec 11, 2006, 04:49 PM
I don't notice a problem... and even if someone were to use my character names, it doesn't matter, because I run across all kinds of people IRL with the same name as me. It doesn't make me feel any less unique... and I'm sure as hell not going to name my first born child Quexicotal for the sake of differenciating him from other children.

Actually, I hate the idea of unique names in PSU because it means there's a chance that a name I want to use will be taken. I don't like having to use a string of nonsenical characters or suffixes just to get the name I want.

There are 3 people with my name, though none of them are like me in anyway. Sychosis, Nyasia is easy to pronounce. Ny (as in night) asia (as in the continent) Ny-asia.

It depends on your feelings regarding originality and/or creativity. I don't think it's a big deal, but it was nice on RFO to know that I would not be confused for anyone else. I had to go about 11 or 12 choices down on my list of prospective names to get one that I wanted, though. Guess that means I'm not very original either. ( -_-;)

Weakness
Dec 11, 2006, 05:23 PM
I saw another Valkyrie the other day and I was pissed off. She even looked like me, I wanted to shoot whoever did that.

I know I am not the sole own of the name, but it bugs me when I put a lot of thought into my names (my PM's name is even Einherjar) just to see it on someone else.

I haven't seen anyone named Weakness yet, but if I do I swear to god I will beat them with a stick. That one is my name, I had it all to myself for 3 years on FF XI.

Dec 11, 2006, 05:40 PM
Every cat is a Luna. Mine is, and I don't even have one!

In a more serious game where roleplaying is more likely to happen, or even in cases of games with many more subscribers than PSU, unique names is a feature to be expected. I welcome it in that context.

I've been told that "Kard" comes from somewhere...but I'd swear it just came to me in a dream one night... Also, big sister "K" has nothing to do with KoF... ; ;

Dec 11, 2006, 06:26 PM
My names are just too crappy to use really http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Especially for someone who isn't called Ben! I mean, come on, ScaryBen, not that original really but hardly sought after (and my nickname in real life so).
But Blast thieves are expected as usual, and IMAO, not having unique names is SO much better, especially when someone else could have used tha name on a joke character, and never touched it again.

Shaidar
Dec 11, 2006, 06:36 PM
Have yet to see anyone use exactly the same names as me, even tho most of them are songtitles. :P

Personally I dislike the idea that people can share the same name seeing as it could be used by impersonators for scamming and other fishy stuff. On the other hand, PSU kinda prevents that with the card and ID number system. It aint flawless but better than nothing at least.

Also, we mustn't forget that by letting people share names we don't have to see people (except for a few that I've already seen) named stuff like "XXXwhateverXXX, whatever2000 and wh473v4H. If a certain name is taken people usually add some silly characters to it to make it "original". Ewww I say. Ewww.

Flash backs of FF11, I somehow remember seeing Aragorn, Aregorn, Aragon, Arragorn, Arogorn, Kingaragorn, Legolus, Legolas, Legolass, Legolaas....

Honnestly, I prefer seeing 10 Aragorn without typos than seeing "fake" versions in order to still take a name that.. quite obviously... was taken by someone else BEFORE YOU. When will people get the hint... That name is taken, create an original one, please. "Oh, I'll just add xXx at the end!"

Someone said they'd seen another Uriko, but I haven't seen one myself. Mind, considering she's a beast girl in her game, it wouldn't surprise me if there are others. Closest Ive seen is Nuriko.

It was worse on PSO- I saw Uriko, Uniko, Aniko, the list goes on.

I don't think Arienal will be taken by anyone though.

There's like 500 Axel's running around these days. I have people all the time ask if I'm Axel so-n-so and I say "Nope, sorry. I'm the REAL Axel, and no, NOT Axel Rose."

That's why I'm not in a hurry to post my in-game names everywhere. The very time I get happy about there being no one else with my name and boast about it, lo-and-behold. XD

I would expect Ryoma to be in much higher use on the Japanese servers. He is a known Japanese Hero, of sorts. Most likely who the Power Stone character was named after.

Though for me, I never have problems with having original names, ever. I tend to find it very easy to stay that way by using amalgamations of European and/or nationalities outside of common English or Japanese names. Africa, India, of course going for Austrian, Russian, etc. You can take them and twist them and nobody else should've thought the same thing, especially if the twist has an inside meaning behind it.

They should not have allowed multiples of the same name, only if they released the EU version at the same time as the US version, that's just screwing people over even more. However, since they didnt't then at least i dont have to worry about my name being taken. If someone has it, oh well. Its not like i name myself off of anime, videogames etc.

Doesn't it suck when someone uses your character's name?

I can honestly say I've never had that problem, ever. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Guide to original character naming.

Step 1: Grab your nearest JAPANESE dictionary of your choice language.

Step 2: Throw said JAPANESE dictionary at the floor.

Step 3: If it landed on an open page, use the third word down on that page.
If it did not land open repeat step 2.

Da ANALyzer will never be seen on someone else. 100% original.

When you say Ryoki, I can guarentee it was that time I met you at the LL entrance.
And they haven't been flying around. I've used this name in every online game I have played since I was around 12.

I may sound like a jackass right now, but I am not meaning to come off that way. I just don't want someone to say my name is unoriginal...there are a lot of similar ones though...

Maybe I should have put Ryoki Hokishami....But I sorta hate last names on a Online game...

The worst is when people copy your name then just put a space after it.

I only expect one of my character's names to be copied. The others are either from inside jokes or various western shows, so I don't expect to be seeing anyone using them.
