What name did you give to your character at the begining of the game? Was there any meaning as to why you picked it?

Strad, for Stradivarius, a maker of million dollar instruments.

Ace, conqerer of poker. JK but my char's name really is Ace.

Shiny

Yea, uncreative.
One candidate was Jesus. :>

Shoulda gone with the latter.

Ian.

Just guess why.

Jay after my good friend

On White it's Wilt, which is my actual name, and on Black it's Sergei for obvious reasons.

My character's name on White is my name, Calvin. Nothing special there. I thought about using TRDRS but I didn't, I probably use TRDRS on Black when I get it.

RK-9, if I restart the game when I get bored I`ll rename myself to Chris.

As usual, I called my character Spirit.

"Cat" in the English one
"ねこ" ("cat") in the Japanese one

Really original. I named myself "CAT" in my very first run of Silver.

I named my character Shadow after the tradition in every game before Black. I'm not really bothered to come up with creative names for each game, as it's not something major for me.

I named him Bob as usual. 'tis an awesome name. Alas, it is not mine in real life.

I named my character Blair for some odd reason

Ben, cause its my real name.

Wish I had gone with Don.

For some reason, ever since the Blue I always spell my name in block capitals. So its more like BEN.

Tech.

>.<

Wanted Techno, but it wouldn't fit.

My Name. You don't know what it is.

In other news, I named my delete file "Horah". I asked people what I should name it, and they kept giving me swears, so I settled for this. It had the strange effect of making everyone cheer when they called for me.

Not sure what to name my secondary file. Any suggestions?

You should name it MTC.

His name is Vel in White, and I'm not sure what her name will be in Black. (Yes I'm using the female in black)

Zcyler, It's my other username to zappyspiker. I like to think of it as my 2nd name

i called myself idan (my actual name).
not creative but in white ill call it blast...!! (;
and don't judge my parents-i'm from ISRAEL

In White (Japanese) I named myself Luxy and in Black (English) I named myself Hillary, which as most of you know is my real name. :/

Michael, after that guy I like.

Every Pokemon game I ever played, its Leo. Although Pokemon Ruby it was Lisa because my cousin started a whole new game :L

Mine is the most interesting name of all. I bet NON of you would expect it. You have a guess at it yet?

I named myself storm in White and Ash (it's a tradition) in Black.

Trent...

... That's all...

This one is inspired by my brother

Raichu + Jack (my name) = Raick

Thought it had a nice ring to it, so from now on (since Black), that's my trainer name.

I named myself Lite in both B/W. If/When I go and do a new Black run I'm naming my character Darc.

Tyson.

Long story.

I named myself Smokes. Kids, this is why you don't start a new game of anything while extremely tired.

My dad also plays the games, and he named himself TOUCHE. I'm not sure which one of us was stranger.

Armads.

Yeah. Originality like that can't be beat.

In White (Japanese) I called myself "BEAST", While in Black (Japanese) I chose a girl and called her "Medusa" (I picked Snivy, see what I did thar!?)
Now for the English versions!
White: "Dom" Which is short for my name, Dominick but most of you know that.
Black: "Domina" Pronounced: Domeena, DomEnuh. And yes, I made up a female version of my name!

I named my character Absy, I name all my characters Absy though, I just love that name~

Pflanze, as always

Shade
...yeah, very creative

Michael, since that is my name. In HG/SS I named mine Kazam, but this time I decided to go back to basics.

I will name him Michael.

I'm Kat, just cause that is my irl name basically.

I named myself: Kenny on the Japanese version. And the same on the English one.

I named my self pR3zh how's that for creative

Cyrus. Yep, the former leader of Team Galactic is single handedly defeating Team Plasma

Black. I couldn't come up with anything catchy, cool, or that sounded good to me. IF there's a Gray version, I'll probably name the character Archer, or to be funny, N or Absol.

My own name.

Some of you know it, some of you don't

I've started a self-imposed trend of giving my characters Russian names. My last 2 were Sergei (Again) and Reznov.

Slix.

I love using that name for characters. XD

Leafy.

Casey

zero

Chris, which is my real name, haha.

Andeal, as I name everything.

...I need to get more original.

named my guy Roland for reasons unknown to the roads.

I named myself FG10 because that's become my alias

MRG because i'm not good making up names

I named my charecter Isabela

Dylan. Mah real name.

Ian. Again.

I called mine Will. Simple and easy.

I called mine Isabela because i thijnk it's a pretty name

I have this tradition of choosing the boy for one game and the girl for the other, so in Black I'm Lex and in White I'm Brynn♪.

I named my character Aaron, as a tribute to the famous Aura Guardian Sir Aaron, from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Great movie, by the way, and for those who haven't seen it... what are you waiting for? Go bring it home.

In my B/W game, I named mine Audrey. Three guesses why. 8D

Brennan, it's my name sooo yeah.

after the manga character from the black and white chapters
Black

AEROJAY. I started this name from soul silver, because my name is Jason and Lugia's signature move is Aeroblast or something so yeah.

Cero on Black. Clouds on White.

I named him Chris, since that's my actual name.

Lucaria. Duh.

My Black Version character's name is Gzret (reads "Jet") Black.
If I end up getting White Version, the character will be the girl, and her name will be Vaazt (Vast) White.

I named him Luigi, If there was First and last names Luigi Fletcher, or in the other, Justin Bieber?!

Brandon... my name.

I named mine Alexis, sometimes I name my character Lexi as well.

Selina, supposedly female for Searinox. For the first time ever I actually made a female character cause she's hot. >.=.>;

Whitlea. Reason?
I'm unoriginal. ; n ;

Grass. Reason?
I'm unoriginal. ; n ;

...
And since I'm using the Japanese version it only allows five letters.

D4l

M4RI0K. M4RI0K4R7 is a name I usually choose for video games, but it goes beyond the character limit so I had to shorten it.

Ken. Mostly because that's what i name all of my characters.

Lan. There are many reasons of naming my character that. Two of the most common reasons is that I'm unoriginal and it's what I named most of my characters. Another reason being a reference from another franchise.

I used 'Ralph.' It's a throwback to lord of the flies.

I'm thinking of making it PHANTOM or Darkrai or Jay, for the next game.

zero is the name i use for all my games

Either Master, or Lane

they are like Master, the thief is back!!!!

or Thanks for helping us defeat Team Plasma Master!!!

and Lane because well...Thats my name XD

My name is uselly matt for games, unless im re-playing the game that I already beat then its different .

Having only played White, I named my character "Kuro", which is Japanese for "Black."

When I played the JP version of white, it, of course, was クロ (Kuro).

I really like that name...

Waffles. Just, yes.

I named mine Amu, because I can be a major otaku and named my character after Hinamori Amu from my favorite anime.

I chose Robert for my SoulSilver and Black mostly because I think its a cool name. As for my Diamound I went with Chris my real name.

I JUST remembered that one time on my Diamond Version I named myself Brian, and thats not my dog's name, by brothers' name, my dad's name, I just pulled it out of this air XD I don't know why though.

I simply named myself after one of my forum usernames, Twiggy. Why? Easier recognition when it comes to... online play, just in case you forgot who corresponds to who.

Nilla because I chose a girl and I always name my girl characters nilla

i chose Ice as my name cause i always do that in games

I chose the name Black. Nuff' said.

I just go by my real name in this case, Logan. Unless I'm playing as a girl, in which I use one of my Female OCs.

In this case, currently, in Platinum: Annie.

I called him JC in Black (J) and JC in White (U)
