Random, dumb stuff.
In
TP we (me and my boyfriend) named him Dwight, from The Office, lol. It was pretty amazing, especially when he got mail.
In my most recent MM game, I named him Zimbabwe..just..cuz. And there was another file where I named him LouisCK, bc I love louis ck (comedian. youtube. now.)
Unless the game has the default name already there (like Final Fantasy usually does) I usually have all sorts of fun with the name.
A lot of times I'll put in my boyfriends name when I get to name the male protagonist (or in the case of chrono trigger, the frog lol), but for some reason, with Link, it's just fun to make him something ridiculous.
