What did you name all your characters through all the FFs if you didn't keep them default? I'm sorry if this was posted before >.<;

I kept all my character names the same, rarely would I ever change any of them. It just takes something away from the game to me.

I once changed everyones name in 9 to beefhead fir amusement factor. It wasnt amusing though

in FF7 i changed Red XIII's name to Nanaki. not a big deal but when you get to Cosmo Canyon, the man at the entrance says, 'Nanaki is Nanaki'.

I didn't rename any of my characters (except I called Red XIII Red 13 cuz I hate roman numerals)

I like the names they are given

I have only changed them in FF-VII before. We played the game in a friend of mines place. We picked following names:

Cloud - Dennis (my buddys name)
Aeris - Brigitte (my own name)
Tifa - Amanda (fantasy name)
Barret - Muffe (nickname of a friend - female, but who cares)
Yuffie - Nina (fantasy name)
Cid - Homas (from Thomas without the "t", friend of mine)
Red XIII - Taz (from Tazmanian devil)
Cait Sith - Arnold (for some strange reason we thought about Arnold Schwarzenegger)

Yep, that's it. I used to change them every time I played, but I don't do it anymore, because this is irritating me. ;)

Heh, I started FF7 and re-named the characters after people in the shrine.
Won't tell who I used though as they would string me up by the ball-hairs and whip me with sticks. :(

OH COME ON, YOU MUST TELL US!

When I was younger, I used to name the characters after myself, my siblings, and my friends.

FFVI was something like....

Terra: Mandi
Locke: Raunch
Edgar: Danny
Sabin: Chris
Cyan: Joey
Gau: Andrew
Celes: Jaclyn
Shadow: Alex

and so on. You get the picture.

Now, I just stick with the default names, at least the first time through. Sometimes, when I replay IX, I'll name Steiner "Rusty", and then giggle at myself.

I named mine after me and my family/ friends.
Cloud:Adam (cos hes the main character :P)
Tifa: lisa
Aeris:sherry
Barret:barrer (i put r by accident, meant to correct :\)
red: lola (my old dogs name)
Cid: lloyd
vincent:trevor
Cait sith: cat >_<

i named my people anything when i first started, then i realised how confusing it was.

Hehehe. I keep all my characters' names when I play the game the first time around, and then the second time around I re-name them. It was like this:

7:
Cloud - Nyx (means "Darkness" or something...I forgot)
Barret - Piers (There's a teacher in my school named Mr. Piers who looks JUST LIKE Barret, so I named him that.)
Tifa - Diana
Aeris - Gwyneth
Yuffie - Mayu
Red XIII - Anubis
Cait Sith - Chance
Vincent - Banquo (Character from Shakespeare's "Macbeth." He ended up getting killed by his best friend a.k.a the main character ;p)
Cid - I kept him "Cid". Because I refuse to have an FF without a Cid :P (Actually, I really don't care...XD; )

8:
Squall - Kaoru (because his expression on the main menu reminded me of Kaoru's expression from Dir en grey in some photos ;p)
Rinoa - Sarah.

9:
Zidane - Lupus
Steiner - Octavio. (Ohohoho. XD)
Garnet/Dagger - Katana
Vivi - Kyo
Freya - Laverna
Amarant - Red. :P
Quina - Quina. >:P
Eiko - Amy

i named all the characters after me and my family.

Adam, lloyd, trevor, lisa, lola(dog), barrer(mistake :P)

Ah ffs,i posted again, sorry, my pc is fudging up :/

I named all the characters after my family members the first time i played FF7.

for the most part i kept them all the same except for cloud who i named after myself luke

I substituted obscenities for certain character names...

Cloud - Mike (my brother)

Squall - Mike (lol same person)

Tidus - Tidus (i was very close to naming him Mike :D)

now I just stick with the default names ^_^

I only named the characters in FFIX after beating my first game:

Zidane-Carl(my boyfriends name)
Garnet/Dagger-Dot Kay(my nickname and my short legal name)
Vivi-Aaron(my nephew's name)
Steiner-William(my sister's boyfriend's name)
Freya-Heather(my sister's best friend's name)
Quina-Default
Eiko-Cassy(my cousin's name)
Amarant-Jason(one of my friend's name)
