Do you prefer to keep the default MC's voiced name or change it to your own?

Usually will use the default name since many games the character will read the name when it's default, and that's something one should not miss. And it's so hard to come up with your own name, for example, gs1-4, need to come up with a Japanese name and it should be "readable" by the system, so it's hard and you have to choose from common names which you may not like so much, taking quite a lot of time.
 
I'll keep the default name.For me, the name doesn't affect whether I can relate to the character.And the default names usually fit better with the game's historical setting, which helps me get more immersed in the story. I'm really bad at coming up with names.It's really hard to come up with a good name when you don't understand the language in other countries' games.But once I was playing a game using my default name and saw that the translator translated it as "heroine",which was really funny to me.
 
I usually keep the default name when I play games.
It's a bit embarrassing to hear characters call me by my real name...
I also love it when the default name is fully voiced 💕

I always keep the default name. I feel weird if I use my real name. And I agree with what some other members said that the default name match the game settings better.
 
I definitely prefer keeping the MC's default voiced name. I feel that the default name is part of the character's identity as the writers and voice actors intended. Hearing the voice actors actually say the name during key moments adds a lot of emotion and immersion, which you completely lose if you change it to a custom name that won't be voiced.

Same as above! I've never wanted to use a custom name since listening the VAs calling MC with actual emotion is part of the charm for me. I'd rather have that than random awkward pauses in the middle of lines.

Would love to see more games do something like Tokimemo's name-calling system (EVS), but I've heard it takes almost as much recording time as the main script itself, so I get why it's rare. ( ߹ㅁ߹)

If the default MC's name is included in other characters' voice lines, then I'll only keep that name. Otherwise, I might change it to a name I like, but it will never be my real name.
 
Always the default MC's name. It's pretty cute to hear the love interests call her by that name. I never use my real name, I find it a little embarrassing haha 😅
