Dear readers, let us share our cherished names, which make it through the game instead of the default names. The names which carry our character, for the better or er... the worse of the experience of the game.

Let's have fun!!

The first time I played the game (when I was 11), I renamed:

Cloud as 'Julian' (Well I'm playing his part am I not? :-D )

Barret as '????' (I have forgotten. It's been 6 years)

Tifa as 'Jennifer'

Aeris as 'Flowerina'

Red XIII as 'Red Fury'

Cait Sith as 'Mick'

Cid as 'Theodore'

I did not acquire Yuffie or Vincent.



The second time I played the game, (I had not finished the first game; I started from scratch) I renamed:

Aeris as 'Irene'

Red XIII as 'Rougeler'

The others were renamed the same as the first time I had played.


This time (presently), I've renamed them this way:

Cloud as 'Julian'

Barret as 'Bobby'

Tifa as 'Jennifer'

Aeris left as default. (I think her name is beautiful so I didn't want to change it).

Red XIII as 'Red'

Cait Sith as 'Nicholas'

Cid as default.

Yuffie as default.

Vincent as default.


So, what do you think? ;-)

Cloud=Dopey
Tifa=Snow White
Barret=Ajax
Cid=Grumpy
Red XIII= The Prince
Yuffie=Bob
Vincent=Sleepy
Aeris=Doc
Cait Sith=Happy

i kept them all default

except red xii which i named Nanaki for the sake of my sanity when i know his real name

its like in ffix; i restarted the whole game just so i could call her sara from the begging

I always keep their names by default except for Red XIII which I change to Nanaki. I can never take a FF game seriously with comical names.

i left them all the same but i took ot the III on red x

i renamed aeris to aerith

I'm an amateur novelist and I nowadays always name the characters after people in my books or use their default names. But when I first started playing, I named them after LOTR or Simarillion characters.

Cloud: Amroth*
Tifa: Luthien*
Aeris: Arwen
Barret: Gimli
Red XIII: Shadowfax
Cait Sith: Gil-galad*
Yuffie: Eowyn
Cid: Eomer
Vincent: Denethor (what can I say? they remind me of each other in the way they mope)

*seen more in the Simarillion or Unfinished Tales than LOTR, though they are mentioned in LOTR.

Cloud: Amroth*
Tifa: Luthien*
Aeris: Arwen
Barret: Gimli
Red XIII: Shadowfax
Cait Sith: Gil-galad*
Yuffie: Eowyn
Cid: Eomer
Vincent: Denethor (what can I say? they remind me of each other in the way they mope)

Awesome! But then i would've done:

Aeris: Nimrodel ('cause Cloud-Amroth =) )
Vincent: Turin

I always keep their names by default except for Red XIII which I change to Nanaki. I can never take a FF game seriously with comical names.

ditto

my friend did change cloud's name to lost tho whch brought up some funny responses in certain areas

Like what?

:P

I kept them the same because they are just names.

I usually kept them the same because I have a thing where things have to be the same, and perfect.

And neat.

Anyway, I read somewhere that if you name RedXIII as Nanaki originally, something interesting happens.

Nothing did.

And I went through the whole game with him like that.

It almost killed me.

However, I did go through that immature eight year old stage where I named;

Cloud = Bastard.
Barrett = Bitch.
Tifa = Sodapop.

The rest remained the same.

Then I did the whole;

Cloud = Vincent.
Barrett = Cid.
Tifa = Aeris.
Aeris = Yuffie.
RedXIII = Barrett.
Cait Sith = RedXIII.
Cid = Cait Sith.
Vincent = Cloud.
Yuffie = Tifa.

That was really fun.

*^.^*

Like what?

:P

like instead of saying "are you cloud" it says "are you lost"

i had cloud=classy
tifa=candice
aries=mistique
yuffie=jessica(its the name. they're crazy)
redxii=nick
cid=slick
caitsith=mick
barret=???
vincent=Rowan

like instead of saying "are you cloud" it says "are you lost"

HAAAAAAAHAHAHA.

Rofl.

No, I really did.

That's great.

:D

I renamed Cloud to Tim, and Red XIII to Rufus after my ginger cat (This obviously got confusing as there is already a Rufus in the game!)

Left everything in default, but once i named Cloud GMoney

Cloud = Vincent.
Barrett = Cid.
Tifa = Aeris.
Aeris = Yuffie.
RedXIII = Barrett.
Cait Sith = RedXIII.
Cid = Cait Sith.
Vincent = Cloud.
Yuffie = Tifa.
XD
If you name everyone Sephiroth, it's also really confusing....XD

Also, if you name Cloud "God", then there's this part where it goes--

Barret: "The planet's dyin', God!"
God: "I don't care."

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA !!

Oh em ef gee.

That's awesome.

Ho ho ho.

My personal favourite has to be "Bullseye" for Aeris so that Cloud shouts it when Sephiroth, y'know.


I don't like it here anymore, I finally registered and the NoSpam question made me claim I was a dog person and not a cat person. Naughty, wicked forum.

all of them i named 1

except for 2 i named him 3

Pfffft .. HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!

Rofl.

I really did.

That's the best.

:P

playing the beginning one random time I called Barret "Cinton", sounded alright, even if it was an l away from the most laid back presidency. didn't keep the file..

Heh, credit to the original poster on Caves of Narshe. I also liked the idea of renaming Red XIII "that dog". It's a shame that with newer RPGs we not only have to put up with Tidus laughing, Wakka BOOYA!ing and the shoddiness of Dragon Quest VIII; but we also lose the ability to do stuff like this with the names.

Unfortunately I don't do it myself, I take very much the same approach to it as you, Ms Clu. I only registered and posted, which I never do, because your pic reminds me of someone I can't quite place and you like things neat and proper. Have a slap on the back from me. Well done.

Lol.

Thank you.

:P

Believe me, website and forums are the only place that I am neat with things.

But thank you.

Cloud : Dean
Barret :Mr T.
Tifa : Tiffany
Aeris : Veronica
Red XIII: Nanaki
Yuffie : mine name!
Cait Sith : Sir Felix
Vincent : Dracula
Cid : default

Wow, what a strange site....

I was one of the select few who happened to play Kingdom Hearts BEFORE any Final Fantasy, in fact, I had never heard of it....So I played and came across a Cloud, a Cid, a Yuffie....

And I came across an Aerith.

I never got the "OMG! Aeris! She's back! Not dead!' shock I was supposed to get, so that went up in flames...

I was crazy enough to get FFVII, seeing that Aerith's name wasn't the way I remembered it, I changed it:

Aeris : Aerith

That was it. The rest were as before.

are you from kh-2.net?

I rename the Character after me,my friends, or names I liked for exsample

Cloud:Ben Me
Barret:Compton
Tifa : Lana
Aeris : Arilia
Red XIII: Jake
Yuffie : Rory
Cait Sith : Aaron
Vincent : defalt since I have a Freind named Vincent
Cid : Joe

I named them all Tifa. It's even more interesting if you use an NPC name that's referenced often -- i.e., Shinra, Rufus, etc.

I named Barrett PityDaFoo

I name the mall after the members of my Sylvanian Family collection. Theres bunny, chester, granpa bunny, hopsie, Mr Nuts etc etc

First time I played the game I gave the characters the following names:

Cloud-Paul
Barret-Barret
Tifa-Jade
Aeris-Daphne
Red XIII-Flame
Cait Sith-Mog
Cid-Riley
Yuffie & Vincent-I didn't get them

Since then I've tended to use the defaults but I usually name Red XIII Nanaki, for that reason that it triggers him saying in Rocket Town 'I'm Nanaki, also known as Nanaki' which I always thought was pretty funny.

Plus that's his name and I think it sounds better than Red XIII.

Oh and there was one game when I was around 13 when I called every re-namable character in the game Sephiroth. Pretty stupid I know. :-[

Cloud = Cloud
Aeris = Mimiroo
Tifa = Sonya
Red XIII = Amakakeru
Barret = Keith
Cid = Atticus
Yuffie = Kamiya

Can't remember what I named Cait Sith or Vincent though.

Why did you call Yuffie "Mine Name"?

Cloud: Jason
Barret: Garett
Tifa: Sophie
Aeris : Jasmine
Red XIII: Arcanine
Yuffie : Naoko
Cait Sith : Catman
Vincent : Viktor
Cid : D'Argo

Are you Prak hater21?

Cloud = Daniel
Aeris = May

Those were the only two I ever changed.

first one

Cloud as Steve

Barret as Berret

Tifa as TIfa

Aeris as Morgan

Red XIII as Nanaki

Cait Sith as Bandit (my cats name when i was like 10-17 RIP)

Cid as Cid

Yuffie as Lyn

Vincent as Sain

The first time my friends and I played it, we were stoned,
so we gave each one of the fucked up names.

I don't remember the names, except for one.

Red XIII - Asswipe 9

The reason why I remember that one because we were all ROFL as we read the characters calling him Asswipe 9.
The next day, I began playing it and when I saw the name I was like: "Asswipe 9? You idiots, it's 13 not 9!" and again I was ROFL.

WOW honestly anyone that renamed characters better have been like 12 or younger cause you just ruin the game..... except Red XIII that is fine naming him Nanaki

Cloud --> Kayin (What kind of name is "Cloud" anyway?)
Tifa --> Lotus
Aerith --> Yalith
Red XIII --> Fluffy
Yuffie --> Cordelia

Cloud: Kite
Barret: Mr. T
Tifa: Hotlips
Aeris: Blondie
Red XIII: Dio ( which was confusing at the Gold Saucer/Corel Prisoc
all others were left default.

Cool, I like this idea......

When I first played I changed the names, the second time through I left it the names as is.

Cloud, Tifa, Aries, Barret, cait sith I left all the same from sqaure one because I thought they were cool names.

I named Cid- Direcom for some odd reason? don't ask where I got that from.
Vincent- Ram
Yuffie - lil'b itch
and red13.. I can't remember now, but I did change it.

I haven't named them so differently so....heres some from the top of my head

Cloud - Spike (lame, i know, couldn't think of anything good for him)
Tifa - Mike Tyson
Aeris - Windex
Barret - Samuel L. Jackson
Yuffie - Hannah (my sister, annoying as always)
Cait Sith - Robin Williams
Vincent - Wormtounge
Red XIII - Zack (my dog)
Cid - White Samuel L. Jackson or Andy $%*&

Cloud - Saber
Barret - Cpt. Hook
Tifa - Hugeknox
Aeris - Clownfeet (SRSLY, have you seen her boots? They're as big as Barret's.)
Red XIII - Kitty
Cait Sith - Douchebag
Yuffie - Ninja v2.0
Vincent - AngryPuss
Cid - Axel

I always keep their names by default except for Red XIII which I change to Nanaki. I can never take a FF game seriously with comical names.

Same here


Cloud --> Kayin (What kind of name is "Cloud" anyway?)

Watch the f*cking words kid.

Just named my after friends and myself.

Cloud: JJJ
Barrett: Jake
Tifa: Jade
Aeris: Serena
Yuffie: Athena
Vincent: James
Cid: Jason
Red XIII: Fang
Cait Sith: Statepuff

I would just rename my FFVII characters according to my lifes story and the circle of friends and family I have. In other words, I would name Tifa after myself, and then the other characters some friends and family names (sorry I can't remember, it's been too long since I've played the game while renaming the characters XD).

Yeah i never really changed the characters names except when i first played the game 7 years ago.

Called Cloud, Cloud9 and Barret something else random.

My brother seems to have a habit of calling his charecters sware-words, i guess he thinks it's funny when someone says.

"Hey, Shit, You there"

or something like that O:]

One time I played FF VII, I named all the characters You. Made for some funny conversations, at least I think so. :)

Cloud- you
barret- Me
Tifa- He
Cid- She
Yuffie- They
red XIII- We
Aeris- You (plural)
