I wonder what rank and position our character would have. Shepard was called "commander" most of the time, which in fact was wrong. The commanding officer of a ship is called captain, no matter their actual rank. Also, their rank shouldn't have counted because by becoming a Spectre they should have left the Alliance military. Meh, inconsistent writing. Shepard was awesome but a really special snowflake in some regards.

 

If we are in command of an exploration fleet, we'd be a commodore or even an admiral. If we're in command of only one ship, then we'd be a captain.

 

The actual name... who knows.

I have to disagree with all of that.

 

Shepard was the captain of the Normandy but he/she was also a Lt. Commander in rank. When being addressed by rank the correct term to use would be Commander or Lt. Commander. There was also an element of realism in that frigates in real world navies are typically commanded by Commanders or Lt. Commanders.

 

Shepard's rank in the Alliance also wasn't rendered meaningless by his or her Spectre status. In fact it is only that position within the Alliance chain of command that allows Shepard to command the Normandy and it's crew of Alliance military personnel. For comparison in Mass Effect 1 Nihlus was not in command of the Normandy, Captain Anderson was. Likewise other Spectres we've run into throughout the series, from EU Saren, to Tela Vasir, to Jondam Bau, are not in command of warships. Shepard commands a warship only because he or she is simultaneously a naval officer.

 

The way Shepard's Spectre status meshes with his/her role as a military officer in some ways also mirrors the real world, except for the Judge Dredd bits of Spectre status. Many O.S.S. and M16 agents in the Second World War were simultaneously officers in their nations armed forces, from which they were recruited, and members of civilian intelligence agencies. One didn't cancel the other out.

I kind of hope there will be less of a military focus going forward, so being referred to by rank would run counter to that, though I'm under the impression we will be military.  Though I got the impression we won't be as high a rank as Shepard, so maybe we'll just be "Captain", so I can continue to indulge me fantasy of being Malcolm Reynolds.

 

Anyway, mostly by surname I'd say, or go the Fallout 4 route and record a bunch of common names (Unlikely, I think, though I'm curious to see how well that works for FO4)

I know it's too much to ask for, but I'm for something a bit more interesting and less anglo-Saxon.

Maybe a Portuguese last name or, even better, if the PC is a human-alien mix maybe some alien clan/last name.

Now I wish I could play a human who was raised by a Krogan family.

I've always thought that people called him "commander" because he, well, commands. Joker called him captain for his actual role on the ship, not rank. Legion's "Shepard-Commander" sounded like some sort of human classification, like Geth-Prime, I dunno.
