Maid Marian? No no no. I don't do default first names.

[Hayllee]

Marian. No.

Now I understand those people in a fanfic thread saying "I absolutely hate the name Elissa!" I sat there, wondering how you could *hate* a name, and now I know.

Garrett? Ha, I had actually named my Shepard Garrett.

I think Garret is fine, but Marian? I don't know...

Funny, I thought the opposite.

Anyway I chose John in ME with the default face, so I think I'll do the same with DA2.

Garrett? How silly. I'd never play a character with that name.

I'm certainly not going to make him a rogue and try to make him a master thief, entering combat only when necessary.

Hehe, now I know I'm going to play as a cynical rogue in Dragon Age 2. Thief I/II are my favourite games ever.

[Andraste_Reborn]

Hmmmm. I usually don't use default names, but those I don't mind. But I think I'd save Garret for a stealthy assassin and Marian for an archer :-).

Garret? No, I think not. I frelling hate default first names.

Why? What's in a name? Besides, you can change it, and it isn't alluded to at all during the game anyways. In ME, people always call you Shepard, never by your first name. In fact, it may have been better if it did, it was really awkward during the Liara romance when she'd call my PC Shepard instead of by his first name right before they slept together. A default name would probably have allowed conversations to flow better.

From the threads I've seen here, a lot of players put too much focus on the name/gender/appearance customization. I mean, yes, it's nice to have the ability to play as male or female, as well as have over 20 different types of mustache available to my character, but it's a distant second to having a huge variety of unique builds, skills, and character types with lots of interesting trade-offs.

I really, really love both names, actually! Marian, especially, is beautiful to me, but Garrett, too! I've been sort of hating big stupid ugly beardy manHawke, but with the name Garrett on him, he's become slightly endearing for completely inexplicable reasons ...

I surely won't. Especially Marian, what a horrible name. In my country Marian is a male name... as is in almost all Slavic countries.

True, in my country Marian is a male name And Mariana is the fem version of it.

[Dave of Canada]

I'll be changing Garrett to David... for complicated reasons that cannot be explained. *shifty eyes*

[Funny_chan]

LOL! I was intending to name my female Hawke Mariam! The only difference is that I was going to spell it with a "m" instead of a "n" at the end.

[Bobad]

I'm changing my own name to Garrett Hawke!

[iTomes]

isnt the name garrett already in a videogame?? "thief" or something xD??

[Bruno Hslaw]

My character would have to be Shiite Hawke the name is crying out for it

[Stormghost]

I would call him 'Daibhidh' which is the Scottish Gaelic version of my name, but I called one of my wardens that in Origins. So I haven't decided yet.

While "Garret" is certainly workable I'm still sticking with Ebon Hawke.

You win 10 interwebs.

Hmm... My great uncle was named Marian...
I like to change the default names to something of my own, maybe Leona or Athena for my fem Hawke and Jace or Gabriel for my male Hawke.
Don’t get me wrong Garrett and Marian are fine names but not for me.

All women find Garrett from Thief sexy. That's why.

That's true. 

ETA: to be on topic
I'm OK with Garrett, but I'm not fond of Marian, so it's a good thing we can change the first name. Maybe, as time will pass, I will change my mind about it.

I suspect that would be awkward if you showed him the game.

[Lyna357]

Come to think of it, my husband works with a man named Marian.

[Apollo Starflare]

I never stick to the default names (it's too much fun coming up with my own!) so it doesn't really affect me, but the names work well enough for marketing reasons. Garrett especially, as can already be seen, will draw people due to the Thief connection heh.



Also noteworthy is that both default names are still very different to the more bland John/Jane Shepard defaults of the ME franchise. I never use the default settings in ME either, and I can see why something inoffensive and whatnot works well with marketing but I do sometimes wish that 'box cover Shepard' was more interesting and unique. 'box cover Hawke' strikes me as being a bit less generic at this early stage. Plus he has a beard.

Clearly, it'll be to honour David Gaider, isn't that right...

So do the men, Garrett is that awesome.

[hangmans tree]

Default names? NEVER!

Custom names all the way!



Garett or Garret, I think thats the name used in Thief series.



I'll go with Asmodai...I think
