I've always named Shadow "Shado" and sometimes I name Setzer "Chance"
But what about FF2? I used to _always_ name Yang "Yak" ( don't ask why)
and Edward "Wuss" (Edward falls, Cecil yells "Wuss!") I would name Cecil
"jak" or "jakal" and Kain "Dave" (one of my friends that I borrow the
game from). Everyone else I would leave alone, except once I named
Tellah "Fish!" and I named Palom & Porom "Cecil" and "Rosa". I'm a
goober.

Here's mine... I played it 2 times, I'm now playing FF6j.
Terra: Skye
Locke: Ricky
Sabin: Jade
Edgar: David
Celes: Lille
Cyan: Stefan
Relm: Kitka
Gau: Aslan
Strago: Kelnor
Gogo: Tiares
Setzer: Ellis
Shadow: Wind
Umaro: Pippo
Mog: Skip

2nd time around, I named everyone with the name w/ same pronounciation (okay,
I stretched it a little) as Chris. Chris, chrys, kris, cris, khris etc.etc.
(yes, that got to be confusing.)

With FF6, I gave them cute cute names with -chan and -kun attached. (Tina =
Tii-chan, Edgar = Et-kun, Mash = Maa-kun etc. Gau is named Chibisuke,
however... and Shadow is Shadow written in hiragana ^_^)

Ah, I'd always name them after friends of mine. Finding the naming system
in FF3 (not having to find Namingway, and being able to change them
immediately) was a huge boon to me. :>

I always have a reason for my castings...

Terra: Megan (someone I... liked back in high school. Terra IS the heroine,
after all.)
Locke: Corey (the same devil-may-care attitude)
Sabin: Marc (one of two identical twins I know. Marc's the more athletic one.)
Edgar: Mike (see above.)
Celes: Susan (appropos, as it turned out; Susan's a good singer.)
Cyan: Rei (yes, me. I'm the one with all the friends, after all. <g>)
Relm: Mia (my little sister. Obvious reason.)
Gau: Pat (I dunno. Just something about Pat's personality...)
Strago: Elton (we used to make good natured fun of him in high school, and
I do the same to Strago. <g>)
Gogo: Aaron (see above; similar reason.)
Setzer: Sean (he's the one who loaned me FF3; both big game players.)
Shadow: Darryl (didn't know about Daryl; Darryl's the dark, somber type too.)
Umaro: Kirby (BIG guy I knew in high school. Football player, etc.)
Mog: Kyle (street-smart, slam dancing... <g>)

Here's my names:

Terra - Mystra (I always name Rydia that. The two seem alike.)
Locke - Michal (My other name)
Edgar - Blair (Me! Because if anything happened to me, all the
world's women would grieve! Yea, right.)
Sabin - David (My brother. He's anything but my twin, however.)
Shadow- Shadow (It sounds cool)
Celes - Laura (Ex-girlfriend. Might name Celes Erin next time.;)
Cyan - Aragon (Couldn't fit Aragorn, from The Lord of the Rings.)
Gau - Gau (I liked it)
Setzer- Dicer (I know it's lame, but I use Dice and Fixed Dice.)
Mog - Moogie (It sounds cute)
Strago- Merlyn (Legendary magician)
Relm - Kahren (Ex-girlfriend's other name. I really should get a
Rename Card. :)
Umaro - Gigas (Big ugly guys from SoM)
Gogo - Mirarr (Because he mirrors stuff. Mirror sounded stupid,
though.)

I sometimes switch names around, depending on my mood when they join
my party. I frequently use names from the Wheel of Time series of
books.

Relm - Egwene
Gau - Perrin
Strago - Logain
Gogo - Morane (don't you love butchering names to get them to fit?)
Setzer - Thom
Shadow - Elyas
Umaro - Troloc
Mog - Loial (so it's a stretch...)

On all of my RPGs I usually re-name the main hero as "Star5", it's a variation
of my old CB "handle" which is "Stargazer".

The robot in CT I called R2D2

The girl the main hero is interested in I call Angel or Margaret (no comment!)

The little wild boy in FF3 I named Scott for my nephew "Scott". I used the name
again for the frog in CT. I REALLY do like my nephew.

I tend to do that as well, but sometimes I will also name them after some of

similar characteristics in the characters and the source of their names
though, I jsut feel like naming them that way.

Mogwai is the little furry guy in the movie "Gremlins". I believe the character
you are referring to is named Mowgli. I don't mean to nitpick. At least you've
got enough imagination to rename your characters.

of rename cards, and rename everybody.(Don't laugh...not only am I trying
to get through"Day of the Tentacle" on PC, but I'm also going through
Earthbound again...)Most of these names are from the X-Files and the
movie"Twice Upon a Time" but a few are from fantasy novels
and other games...TUT-Twice upon a time XF-X-Files
Terra: Flora (Flora Fauna, from TUT)
Locke: Muldar (Fox Muldar, from XF)
Edgar: Rod (Rod Rescueman, TUT)
Sabin: Kuni (from UHF)
Celes: Scully (Dana Scully, XF)
Shadow: Mr.X (XF)

Mog: Mum (from TUT)
Strago: DT (Deep Throat, XF)
Relm: Izzy(from 'Memory and Dream' by Charles DeLint)

Hey! Fighting games can be used as a means of relaxation when you're stuck
somewhere and have overlooked something. I find that after taking a few
rounds on some fighting game, I can easily overcome some part of a rpg that
I was stuck on much easier and faster then I expected.

but sometimes I do this .....

setzer=Aaron
umaro=dumb
gau=dumber
(ok, IMHO, those are the two worst characers)
gogo=daryl (well, it could be...)

Yeah, I know it's old, but I like this thread, so...

Terra: Gail, Cheryl, Jill
Locke: Lance, Reed
Edgar: Nigel, Aron, Adrian
(I always have trouble coming up with good twin names that sound OK with
"King" in front of them)
Sabin: Danyon, David, Joshua
Shadow: Azure, Mask (He's a toughie)
Celes: Raia, Angel
Cyan: Devon, Thorne, Julian
Gau: Ian, Wren
Setzer: Regis, Setzer, Damian
Strago: Graham, Isaac
Relm: Lisa, Julie
Mog: Jerin, Nails
Umaro: Baron, Choron
Gogo: Karma, Dion (very difficult!)

Some of these were used in an 'experimental' game I played through once with
standard capitalization ('Terra' instead of 'TERRA'), and were really just
for that purpose; Gail, Reed, and Angel were some of them. I always like to
play through a Square game with the original names the first time, of course,
but there are a few I'll never go back to. In Chrono Trigger, I'll never
play as 'Lucca' and 'Marle' again after using 'Julia' and 'Angel' for so
long! Changing Frog's name, OTOH, has never been a great success.

a fun way to reminisce about the game . . .

terra: hsia (after lin ching hsia, aka brigitte lin)
celes: asia ( i like "general asia", cuz it reminds me of the character
from _swordsman II_)
locke: seamus (he looks sorta irish) or racket (since he's a thief)
shadow: akira (the only name for the guy!)
cyan: lance (short for lancelot, cuz of his sword and his "thou"'s)
sabin: bruce (martial arts)
edgar: steven (a fitting anglo saxon name for a blond king)
relm: celia, aurora (altho actually i think "relm" is the best name i've
heard for her. maybe one day i'll replay ff3 and leave her name alone)
strago: zhang (zhang san feng, the crazy old dude who invented tai chi
chuan
gau: hugh, oliver (seems funny to give him a proper-sounding british
name, like oliver twist or hugh grant)
setzer: du sun ("god of gamblers", from the comedy by wong jing)
mog: feet (dance)
umaru: B.Feet (sasquatch)

LOL! Me too! I could never stand to change the names in FF3 (I love the
characters so much) but I do change them sometimes for FF2 and CT.
In FF2 mine were:
Cecil: (he underwent a number of name changes- I think he ended up as Fish
or something)
Kain: Beebo
Rydia: She's my favorite character and I didn't have the heart to change
it..
Rosa: Binky
Tellah: OldGuy
Edward: Wuss or EdWood
Yang: POW! (yes, with the exclamation mark)
Palom and Porom: Beavis and Butthd
Cid: Scotty (you know, chief engineer of the Enterprise..)
FuSoYa: Yoda
Edge: Mojo

For CT I had:
Crono: Blarg
Marle: I forget
Lucca: Binky
Frog: Kermi (Kermit wouldn't fit)
Robo: R2D2
Ayla: Ogett (like Og the caveman- Ogette)
Magus: I couldn't change his name cause he's my favorite!

I once knew a guy who always named Sabin 'Guile'... guess why? :-)

Can't think of any others... although once I did try to recapitalize the
names... didn't like the way it looked though.

When I name my characters, I usually give the main character (or if
there isn't any, the guy I think is the coolest) my name, and give
everybody else the names of my friends. I personally know that my
cousin names all his guys after people from "Forrest Gump" and "What's
Eating Gilbert Grape" with his favorites being Arnie, Lt. Dan, and
FatMa.

Edgar: Erik
Terra: Emara
Shadow: Venom (I really like this!)

Usually, I name everyone the same, the first time that I play the game.
After I have beat it once, then I name the main charactor me. The
charactors that usully remind me of someone that I know I name them that
person. I also usualy name the charactor that the main charactor likes
in the game my girlfriend.

i usually name mine characters from robert jordans the wheel of time
rand being the main character, with locke or setzer , usually setzer being
matrim cauton, perrin is shadow since he has the dog
umaro is loial the ogier,

8i used to name the main guy either elob or turin--elob is made up
while turin is turin son of hurin, from tolkein unfinished tales
in the days of tuor and gondolin and morgoth

when that was the case, i would use tolkein names, lke in ff2, i would shorten
gandalf for tellah, or use frodo or bilbo for theives since they play the part
of burglars

lately though i just go with the defalut name since it doesnt take time to
think a name up

Sabin-Kuni(UHF)
Celes-Scully(X-Files again)

Hoagie? What? He's fat! Setzer's not.
Mr. X? He's evil, how about Gogo (he was evil in one game)
Mulder&Scully, there's a perfect match.
Deep Throat.... Shadow.

Harry = Umaro or YMIR, whatever.
Teddy (Mr.Bean) is a good name for Mog.

I am a very changable person

I usually give them names of charaters from my own stories and
comix I draw. Or I just make up cool ones.

Terra: Branah
Edgar: Cyriv
Sabin: Kain
Cyan: Bladen, Klinge
Shadow:Smoke, Shiro
Relm: Prisma (as in Prismacolor color pencils)
Strago:Ido
Umaro: Smash
Mog: Jimjam
Locke: Viron
Celes: Sarina

My friends like giving them silly names, AND IN ALL CAPS, TOO:

Edgar: EGGHED, DUNCAN (as in McCleod from Highlander)
Sabin: DIMWIT, BRUNO
Cyan: CRAZY
Mog: SORRY
Umaro: DUMMY
Shadow:BOZO, GINSU
Locke: LOKI

I have a few stock names that I give to a few select characters:

Cyan: Emrald. *sigh* One more space would have been nice; so far, the
only SS games in which I can give the name "Emerald" to my character
have been FFMQ and SoE, =^( and the only game of SoE I've played
had Johnny Murata as the kid... can anyone catch the reference?
Actually, most of my main characters get named Em(e)rald: SoM's
hero, Cecil, the angel from Soul Blazer... it helps if they wield
a katana, though (that's why Cyan got "Emrald").
Setzer: Gambit
Gau: Mowgli

I occasionally play around with themed names for characters; my first game
of FF3 had a "Final Friendtasy" thing going:

Locke = Ross (When I did this the very first time through, I just about
FREAKED when it got to that bit about Rachel! I had NO idea!!!)
Edgar = Chand (ler)
Sabin = Joaii (sounds more fantasy-like than Joey)
Celes = Phoebe

I suppose Terra would translate to Monica okay, though Terra is much
cooler... They fit, darnit! =^)

Some other of my past faves:
Relm: Aliima (from Alex Mack)
Strago: Geezer
Ayla: Leela
Marle: Buffy
Frog: Robin (for Kermit's ultracool nephew) or Karma (good 5-letter
adaptation of Kermit, sounds classier than "Kermy")
Tellah: Baitor (perverse of me, I just love seeing what replaces "Master
Tellah! Master Tellah!" on screen...) =^)
Kain: Judas
Rydia: Lydia *ahem*
Shadow: Kage, Arashi
Terra: Karai, Lyrana
Sabin: Dolph, Kuma

Not really.He helps Muldar and Scully, even if he does occaisioally shoot
the witnesses.He's more middle of the road, neither good nor evil. It
seemed to fit Shadow perfectly.

Yup.

Nah.Too old. I tried to name Strago "Skinner", but then again he's too old
and I couldn't fit "Skinner" in there anyway. Too bad you can't rename Leo.
After all, they(Deep Throat and Leo) both got killed off...

I like to name the main character after me, and the main character's girlfriend after my
girlfriend. I name everyone else after what friend of mine they are most like. If the
main character is a girl I usually name her after my sister, name the coolest other male
character after me, and his girlfriend after my girlfriend. If I know a character's
going to die later in the game, I keep their given name.

I know you didn't start this thread, but the original message has
expired and I want to share, too!
I really like Relm's name, Prisma!

Here's mine, though I'm not so sure about some of them anymore:

Terra - Sarah
Friend that moved away. Uh... don't have a great explanation for the
connection, but I made one somehow.
Locke - Jason
He's the mischevious type, too. Although he thinks Locke looks like a
pirate in his close-up. And he and Angela/Celes, see below...
Mog - Jesse
You know, the class-clown type. His dancing abilities are about as
silly as Mog's, too. He's also a little obsessed with his hair.
Edgar - Cavan
Me! What can I say, I'm a hero. I think Edgar's really cool; handling
responsibility and very smart.
Sabin - Chris
IRL, Sarah's boyfriend. There weren't any other real couples. Plus
Cat/Relm makes fun of him all the time like in the game. Supposed to be
my best friend, so I converted that into him being my brother.
Shadow - Matt
In our little group in a way... and not, all at the same time. I could
have come up with a better name... I'll change it.
Cyan - Les
Same kind of discipline.
Celes - Angela
Jason/Locke's girlfriend. Uh... not much else.
Setzer - Rob
Wants to join the Air Force... or has, he's gone now. So there's the
flying thing. And he's the same way with girls, but more successful.
Strago - Kovar
From Mr. Kovar, my English teacher in ninth grade. Funny guy, nice and
all. He's kinda got a Lore thing going because he acts the way the kids
all acted with him. Whatever we did to him he did right back and that
made the class fun. No relation to Relm/Cat or Shadow/Matt.
Relm - Cat
Whiny little girl. :) Makes fun of Sabin/Chris all the time. Not
really related to her father and grandfather from the game IRL.
Umaro - Never got a name for this one, but I know a lot of all-muscle,
no-brain types. But Umaro's nice... can't find the right match.
Gogo - Mike
Doing whatever everyone else does and acting like it was his own idea...
this gets annoying.

I went default mode for my first quest. Then, I used:

Terra: Valis (From Valis IV...and the name I wish I had been called)
Locke: Ryan (A really cute punk friend of mine)
Edgar: Swifty (From "The Little Prince" anime series)
Sabin: Bob (from that Ramone's song "Blitzkreig Dob")
Gau: Goku ( From Dragon Ball of course!)
Cyan: Merith (sounded like a fantasy sort of name)
Celes: Camile (From "The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang")
Setzer: Guido (From "Samurai Pizza Cats"...plus he's Italian)
Strago: Baka (Japanese for fool or idiot)
Relm: Akane (From Ranma 1/2)
Mog: Puyo (I think its a Japanese sound effect for "crash")
Umaro: Shaggy (From "Scooby Doo")
Gogo: Floss ( I was drunk...don't ask me)

Thats it!!!

Baka is more like "stupid" if I remember right.

I've never come up with any really exceptionally great names for the
characters in FF III, but I came up with some great character names for
EarthBound (who I'm currently playing with):

Ness: Billy
Paula: D'Arcy
Jeff: Matt
Prince Poo: James
The Dog: Bugg
Favorite Food: Pumpkin
Favorite Thing: Rockin'
Player's Name: Butch (or Flood, or Alan)

There you go! Smashing Pumpkins EarthBound! <;*)

I remember when I just got FFA for GB, and I was on a long car ride, so I
offered my mom a chance to play it. She did, and she named the boy, Boy,
and the girl, Girl. She later died on the first boss!=)

I thought one time of starting a game of Earthbound with the following
names:
Ness-Locke
Paula-Celes
Jeff-Edgar
Poo-Sabin
Dog-Mog
Favorite food-Pizza
Thing-Ultima
FFIII Eartbound!
Usually though, I use the following:
Ness-Ness
Paula-Skye(musical note)It's one of the 'Don't Care'names
Jeff-Bill(it's a funny name)
Poo-Narf("What are we going to do tonight, Brain?" "The same thing we do
every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!")
Dog-Elvis or Smokey(one of my dogs!)
Favorite food-Pizza
Thing-Music(musical note),i(spanish exclamation point)Boom!, or Boing!
(favorite saying of the Mr.Saturns)
Rachel Green AKA A.Weirdo, Mog's Stunt Double

Sabin- Lad
Shadow- Klael
Celes- Becky
Cyan- Seth
Mog- Mog
Relm- Relm
strago- Strago
Gau- talon
Setzer- Sky
Gogo-Zuzu
Umaro- Hodges

(And some people say I lack creativity. I don't know why they think that.

You can't name Setzer Seltzer. Only six letters.
My names vary, but I'll give you examples.

terra-raela
locke-angus
edgar-thyste
sabin-jack (doesn't he just look like a jack?)
celes-reine
cyan-tragk
gau-feral (actually, thats what my brother named him)
shadow-letlan
setzer-random
strago-oldude
relm-delady
mog-?

Currently someone else has my copy of final fantasy 3. Knowing the person
I doubt I'll ever get it back.

That's all the characters I have so far. I'm about half way thru and

even a quarter of the way completed. Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore,
Wizardry 5, Breath of Fire, Lufia, Gargoyles Quest(!), Earthbound, Super
Metroid, Dragon Warrior 1(!!), 7th Saga, Shining Force 1 & 2, Land
Stalker, etc, etc. Now that I've got the computer, I haven't played
anything for like 3 months.
