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.
 
I don't really care either way, but since I'm too lazy to change the name, I'll probably just use the default one. I'm not the type to get into the story anyway, so I'll probably just keep ranting about the plot the whole time, lmao.
