Anyway, after 100 hours first playthrough almost named the protagonist SASUGA JOKER in NG+

Glorious idea =D

But it should be JOKER SASUGA so you could be called Joker rather than sasuga =D

[SINISTER-SINS_]

I named mine Chodaboy lol so not too serious...

[Hayke7]

Went with Hayato Kawajiri

 

Always try to name my characters after some smaller character in a show I'm either watching or watched recently and this time it came from JoJo

Wanted to name the group "Phantom Troupe", but the letters are too limited. 

Right?! I wanted to name them something unique and awesome, but the character limitation killed me. So I went with the default :shrug:

Good name either way

Well, they had to fit the textboxes =D

[Xel]

First playthrough: Xeliot
Second playthrough: Akira (Canon name)

[sona_11]

I named him Akira Akashi

I kept the last name and changed the first name to Akashi because of the red color xP

[Izularia]

Named him Akira Kurusu as well.

 

However... I called the Phantoms "Cutey Pies". I mean, come on, things are getting SUPER serious when you receive a calling card by the famous Cutey Pies. 

[starcrunch061]

Of course, he's named by my classic Persona name: Hambone Jones.

[Arzkath]

Akira Kurusu.

Proof that he is Akira?

[YROSHIKU]

I was thinking about it day and night for the last month and I think I'll just roll with Bożydar Zwyczajny.

 

He's gonna make me proud.

[darkling692]

Since Persona 3 I always name my protagonists with weird esoteric names in my first play trough and on the second one I use the manga "official" name.

So this time in my first play trough I named him Nimrod Algorab and in the second one Akira Kurusu.

Same here, I choose this name too, it's the name in the Manga, so, it's semi-official.

[StrickenBiged]

I went with "Edrick Tanaki".

 

Edrick because all my characters in RPG's get named Edrick. Tanaki because I wanted something that sounded Japanese for the purposes of immersion. (IDK if that's even a sensible word in JP, I made it up.)

 

This is fitting the setting much better than the name I went with in P4G, which was Edrick Hasselhoff. It still makes me laugh to see the other characters call me Hasselhoff-kun, but it does take me out of it. I learned my lesson.

Please explain how this is derived...? It doesn't sound half bad, might become my new JRPG name.

Japanese does not have consonants as Japanese people are unable to pronounce them.

Any solo consonant apart from N (and V, L, Q, X which are rewritten V = B, L = R, Q = kyu, X = ekusu) is rewritten by adding vowel.

 

In your case, let's break your name into parts.

E - D - R - I - C - K

E - vowel, perfectly okay

D - consonant without vowel following it, therefore, rewriting time, the actual vowel used is depending on the pseudo pronunciation. Since Edo-rick sounds better than Edu-rick, D is rewritten as DO

RI - R is a consonant, BUT! followed by vowel, therefore, perfectly okay so, no rewriting necessary

K - same as K, this time, the K sounds mostly like KU so KU is used. The reason for adding double K is just how Japanese operates, you need a bit of a feeling in this case =D

I ended up making a new name for my 2nd playthrough: Kaito Yuuzaki. If i need to do a 3rd playthrough, I'm gonna name him Tohru Adachi.

Are you going to buy MagaIza?

What's the earliest I can try to catch the Guardian? I'm at the beginning of June currently.

[AbleArcher97]

I usually play as myself in RPGs.  So, if it makes sense, I usually give my character my name.  In P4G I gave the protagonist my name, but looking back I probably should have made up a Japanese version of my name since the protagonist is Japanese.  That's probably what I'll do for Persona 5.
