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 either use the default names, or give them "standard English older bloke names". The grander the adventure, the more un-grand a name they get.

Things like "Ian Williams", "Neville Smith", "Terry Phillips", "Frank Jones" etc. The sort of names that would work for the City Council's Road Maintenance Department.
