If this included MMO names I'd be the type that goes on character name generators, refreshes until I find something I like, and try various combinations and variations until I find something that's not taken. Of course, not before spending 2 hours in the character creator.

But if the characters have an official name (they never do in MMOs), I usually just go with that. Did call my character (May) Buttmuncher in Pokemon OR though, just for the lulz since random people would see me in the online thing. Had to tame it down a bit to get past the filter.

I feel you, the more complex the character creator, the more time you spend on it even when you already know what you are going for!:rofl2: In MHWorld for example I took almost 4 hours in the character creator at the start of the game! As for names, if it's male character I just use "Tho" since it's my real name shortened and have been using it since I started playing video games back in early 2001 (yes, I was almost 5 when I started playing video games), while for female characters I'll either use a certain someone's (I won't mention who) name if it's just one character or that and then colors (English or Japanese)/others for any additional ones needed (eg: in EO games I go with names like Violet, Aoi, Kaze, etc. depending on looks because they almost all cute).

I never use "official" names unless it's something VERY story-heavy, in which case it just feels weird... As for Pokemon, I still give childish nicknames to the rivals (asshat, butthole, etc.), especially in older games before things could be censored:P

I like giving the rivals childish names, but the rivals nowadays are too damn nice, the names don't fit. Even Gary is a pussy now.

With the acception of the childish names I'm about the same but instead with jt(first and middle initial) for guys and Ella for girls
