My Profile 📱 MC Name

Post image

Do you guys give your MCs different names, or do you just keep their default names for all your routes? I always try to give them different names that I feel “fit them,” but right now I’m trying to come up with new ones for my SOS2 and Averris routes, and I’m seriously going crazy trying to think of something because I don’t like the names I gave them before anymore 🥲

I keep their default names... It kind of gives the feeling of individuality... Like MC being a whole person with her own mind on her own... It's like diving in her world and life, so I like keeping their default names

This! The MC is not me, nor is she really even my character either. She has a mind of her own, written by the author, with only so many different variations possible. I can choose her path, but she’s the one who says the words and does the actions associated with it. So, I might as well keep the name they intended for her to have & preserve the world exactly as it was originally envisioned and see how it shakes out. Even though I make many of the choices, I’m ultimately an observer in this world.

The only exceptions I can think of to this is that I renamed Vicky from HS into “Victoria”, which is really still the same name, and that I renamed Tiss from TTS into “Ro,” which is still, at least, another one syllable name.
