Simple question.

What convention do you use when naming your MP characters?

I have done simple ones like calling my human female soldier Tara Ferma

Cheers

I call them cool generic things. Like my Volgineer is called Machine, my Destroyer called Fear, my Vorcha Soldier is Animal, etc.

I only give names to the characters I REALLY like.

My Volus Adept is named OneTrueShot, my Volus Vanguard is named Annomander, my Krogan Vanguard is named Urdnot Liberty (The AmeriKrogan), etc etc...

No real conventions to the names, just random stuff I like.

I name almost every character after the weapon or power I primarily plan to use with them. It also means I rename characters a lot when trying different builds. Except now I feel like I pretty much just want to name all my characters Heavy Melee, the effectiveness of my builds is getting questionable...

Sometimes I name them after the build, or prominent tactic I use them for.

Otherwise I just drop my keyboard on the ground facebown. Whatever happens, happens.

My Krogan have a clan name followed by whatever I feel sounds like a Krogan name. Except the Shaman, as they give up their names.

My N7s and Turian Armigers use code names.

Those are the only themes I have. My other characters are given names following the either the naming conventions of their species, or just whatever I feel like when I first unlock them.

EDIT: My Volus are also named after things in Swahili. Such as my Voldept named Kibayotiki Mungu.

Go through a lot of hardware this way?

My biotic Krogan are given krogan-themed puns on Metal Gear models.

My other two Krogan are given krogan-themed puns on sexual innuendo.

My Turians are all given FOXHOUND-themed names relating to birds.

Some of my other characters are named after forumites and what they remind me of (Ashen Earth = my Geth Infiltrator, for example)

My Batarians are given what is my attempt at actual Batarian names.

My Slayer is named Raiden.

Some of my other characters are colored like what armor they were based on and named after the armor model (ex my Demolisher wears the colors of the Cerberus Ajax armor, but I'm think of giving her a unique armor coloration and naming her DAT ASS).

My Volus Sentinel is OneTrueShot.

And I'm still trying to think of an Assassin's Creed-themed name for my Fury.

And there you have it.

I always include "Rad" in the name somehow. The entire name itself relates to a character in SP that belongs to that particular race. I change it up sometimes though. I named my Slayer "Dradgonball Z" since he fires laserz from his palm.

I give them lore-friendly names.

QFE is Taria Vas'Malin, Kroguard is Urdnot Bresk etc.

I ran out of good names. ( Since we used to have to rename every promotion) So now I convert 3 letter names to binary. It's all 1's and 0's for me.

Pretty much random for me, only a couple of my characters have actual names, like my Krogan soldier, Urdnot Rah'olm, Or Bob Carlson, my Human engineer, lol. Otherwise it's a bunch of random stuff like my Geth trooper LLLOOOOLLL Or my Volus vanguard, Tunel Tester, etc.

Names of characters from movies and books. Like Lolita or Ninotchka. Sometimes I just give in and name them something idiotic though. It happens!

Eitherway something silly or simple.

Asari Adept: Noone Plays You - haven't seen one in ages.

Volus mercenary: SizeMattersNot - he is green he is short, you get the point.

Turian Sentinel: SaintTurian - misheard phrase

Krogan Sentinel: Quad Balls - Melee build, bashing banshees while they are active isn't exactly sane

I did a lot of promoting back before the names stuck so most of my characters are named something like this - lfihq732982jd

Complete mixture - some inspired me enough to get something that sounds a bit like it belongs in the ME universe, others get a pun of some sorts (Gethineer, Kroginel, SneakyGeth), or sometimes a reference to other characters from alternative places (some norse gods, some star trek characters). Meesha's my FQE, Savit is my Turian soldier, Serena is my Valkyrie, Freya is my female human sentinel, etc. I wanted to write stories about them all, but I'm so busy I haven't written anything in a couple of months :(

When promoting I use the same name I always did for each character.

I try to think of names that would probably be suitable for lore. Names that suit their classes as well and of course male or female. I don't do it instantly all the time though, sometimes I just give them a random letter if I don't want to commit to using the character, and just want to try them out.

I named majority of them from Metal Gear Characters. Other characters i use are just random names.
