    Just started playing after they started doing their endurance run videos.

    I named my character Kintaro Oe, the name of the main character in Golden Boy.

    Just curious what names the rest of you picked.

    They ask for a first and last name...that's what I gave them. "That" = my real name.

    I put in my real name.

    the game is more personal that way.

    I can't do that. It just doesn't feel right to me, seeing characters refer to me by my actual name.
    So I use Souji Seta, the name used in the manga.

    I use Yorlli as the first name (my joke "Spanish spelling" of Georgie) , and my real last name (but just a part of it) in almost all the games that allow me to enter a name (or last name).

    For a game like Persona, the name has to sound Japanese, otherwise it'll drive me crazy.

    Souji Seta.

    Yeah, I'm a complete wuss who goes by the manga name. Surprisingly, I don't do the same for Zelda or FFX.

    I had fun and called my character Baron Deathkill.

    I really am not a big JRPG fan but this game caught me so completely off guard and amazed me that I may go back to some other JRPGs I missed.

    The first couple hours of the game are used to develop the story and characters, so you don't control the main character that much. But after you unlock the first dungeon, you have complete control for most of the game.

    Persona's a pretty cool guy. eh fights shadows and doesn't afraid of anything.

    I went with a nickname a friend gave me, Shoda, simply because it sounds Japanese (I actually think it is.../googles)

    I just bought the game today. I named my character Takashi Matsumo. I was gonna name him Takashi Matsumoto, but I didn't have enough space for his last name.

    Charlie Tenoku, because I don't have a playstation of any sort and I can only watch Jeff and Vinny...which is okay with me, all I care about is the story.

    But I typically use my own name, so if I were to have this game then that's what I'd do.

    It's just too weird to use my real name in games. In this case it wouldn't fit the game. Plus I would feel odd if I made a choice or did something in the game that I'd never do in real life.

    Shoji Meguro.

    What? He's the reason the Persona games(and Digital Devil Saga games and Nocturne and...) have awesome music. >> I regret putting him through music club in my first playthrough, though. Music girl is so...not supposed to be a high schooler/love interest.

    although I'm thinking about switching things up in the future by naming my characters either Alize(female) or Kaemon(male) with the last name of Outacite since it would come out to mean "joyful man-killer"
