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?

    Some racing games, and in particular the third-party app Crew Chief, allow the player to either set a name or choose an addressing like ‘dude’. I don't like using a personal name, so my racing engineer says stuff like “an incident in turn five, mate”.
