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.

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. 🙁

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 😛 (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. 😛
Quina – Quina. >:P
Eiko – Amy
