Canon MC name vs Self-Insert?

i don't really like picking up names myself ahaha. + i don't self-insert and read just as viewer, so i prefer leaving canon mc name. it is also a big pros to me that it's voiced, without an awkward pause for a changed name xd
 
I prefer playing under a name I've come up with myself, but rather than projecting myself onto the character, I tend to imagine the specific protagonist for that particular game. That said, wanting to make the protagonist embody my ideal character might be a form of self-projection in a way—which is perhaps why I'm not too fond of protagonists with overly strong personalities.
 
Always canon MC name. Thinking up a new name for blank-slate MC is takes my time so i always prefer the game already giving the default name to MC.
 
If the default name is voiced then i will leave it as is, otherwise i usually change it to one my nickname to self insert >.<
 
I've always found this such an interesting thing because my best friend self-inserts whenever possible, and I honestly hate doing it myself haha - I will often change the character's name from the default, but never to my own. If there's personality choices I'll try to pick a name that fits the vibe of the character I'm trying to build!
 
I like to change the name, but not to self insert, because my name feels so out of place. I choose the name depending of the time and place of the setting.
