Hey just a general question; how do you decide/make up/come up with your character's name?

I usually base mine off an anime character. On the GC, you can make a pretty convincing Vash the Stampede of Trigun or Squall Leonhart of FF8(both of which I have done). You can also make a good Trunks, both normal and SSJ. I also made a character that could pass for a Gundam.

So what have you done? What kind of characters do you have and what are their names??

I just usually make up a name, or get one from an anime i've seen. Or most of the Japanese names are from people that i know.

SMac is my nickname in school... But I don't have a PSO character called SMac... I'm DevilFyre on PSO (and here, I just can't remember my password and my e-mail address that I registered with was deleted), and the name is a spoof of AngelFire.

I tend to name mine after character names I use in other RPGs. Of which, some are based on anime characters, while others are just names that I happen to like. On the other hand, PSO's Section ID selection has lead me to try new names in an effort to get particular IDs.

I usually try not to name my chars after anime or movie characters, mostly I base my names off of characters from RPGs or stories I wrote myself. Of the 8 characters I currently have on the GameCube, only 1 name is unoriginal as far as where I got the name.. but that's ok coz no one gets it anyway. As far as making convincing replicas of anime characters.. you can make a decent Kakashi Hatake from Naruto with a RAmar. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
Otherwise, Narako is from the one and only sci fi I tried to write, as are Mahao and Shiro. Evengale is a D&D character of mine, Hana I made up on the fly, Kitsune I made to fit into the PSO storyline and Gwenhwyfar I made just so i could make Satos ^_^
