    I plan to bring over my female Shepard from the first Mass Effect, called Eversory.

    So, GiantBomb community, what are you going to name your Shepard? Or if you've already got a Shepard you're planning to import from the first game, what's his/her name?

    Since Shephard is human and looks very realistic, I named him after myself, Kyle. lol I made some other characters too, I can only remember one though - Kaim (As in Kaim Argonar from Lost Odyssey)

    My first character, which is the paragon file I'm importing is named Skye Shepard I believe (it's been awhile since I've played that file) and I'm currently working on a renegade file with the standard John Shepard name.

    My character's name from ME1 was Bob Roy Shepard. Dunno if it was Bobroy or Bob Roy. I guess I'll just call the next one Bob or Andreas (my real name). I won't get the fancy pants character thingy since I'm getting ME 2 for pc and I have ME 1 on my xbox.

    I will just start a game with the generic one, i remember how hard it was to make a somewhat good looking character in the first Mass Effect.

    I made my male character look a lot like me, and named him Charles (my first name). I used the generic female Shepard and named her Charlene =D
     
     
    Same thing will be done for the sequel, as I will be re-using those characters.

    Wel..John is my name, so I just went with John Shephard just like me.  Also went with the default look.  I never really liked the Mass Effect Character Creator.  It wasnt very...robust...

    The only character I used in Mass Effect was called Miranda Shepard. She was a great character, but sadly I cannot use her in ME2 because Miranda is the name of one of your squadmates and a key member of the crew. So now I either have to make a new Shepard, or play through ME1 again with a new character. Thanks, BioWare. Ugh.

    Does anybody know if we get a chance to change what our Shepards look like? I want to take the default Shepard, but make him black and bald. Is this possible?

      Ryalla Shepard. Originally I had an Adrian Shepard on the 360 version, but then I got it on Steam and Ryalla is now my main, though I''ll probably make Adrian and make him out to be an asshole. Though, it's hard to make a decent looking male in Mass Effect.

    I go with the obvious choice: Jack Shepard
     
    from the show Lost. My other characters were Christian Shepard(more Lost) and Adrian Shepard (opposing force)
     
     
    But yeah the first name really has no effect on the game in any sense. You're always Shepard. It may as well just be a 'Save Game File' name.

    My Paragon character is named Jade and my Renedage character is the default John.  I'll bring both of them over to fulfill their respective parts.

    Don't underestimate the power of Half-life Lore! It seems so obscure... but a lot of people are into these days it seems.

    First character was a renegade adept named Red. I then planned on making a neutral character named Grey, and then a paragon character named Blue. Then I played Call of Duty 4, and decided that my next guy should be a super sly secret agent type guy, so I had to think of a random word for his name. I came up with Milk. 
    Milk Shepard.

    In Mass Effect I named my character Lauren Shepard, so I'll probably stick with that.

    For some random reason I decided to play ME1 again and this time I'm going to name him Krispy. Don't ask how that name came to fruition because I sure as hell don't know.

    My first playthrough was with a friendly, diplomatic, bald and heavily scarred male named Goat Shepard.
    My second was with an aggressive female named Hippolyte Shepard -- after the Amazon queen.
