DAE name their characters by their official name? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

For example, when I play RPGs that allow you to rename characters (like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy), I usually keep the default name.

Why? Well, I don't want to think of a name in first place. But it also gets confusing when looking at guides.

On third place, and this is more how I like to play games, I don't feel it is fair to take their name out of these characters to replace it with one that represents them less.

Do you do this too, or am I the odd one?

I like games where I name the main character, often the main character has a title or nickname that npcs use as well (the Dragonborn, the Avatar) but if I know they have a name in the story then it's feels a bit weird to change it. So, Link is Link. But when I player Chrono Trigger for the first time recently I had (somehow) not heard much about it, so I renamed Crono (also it's a horrible misspelling and kinda dull name, so happy to change it).
