Creative New Names for MC

[bravelyflee]

Most otome games let you change the name of MC, but have you considered putting in something other than a name? It can completely change the tone of the game. For example, say there's a line that goes:
"Hello Angie, what do you need?"

Want the LIs to sound more submissive? Name MC Mistress and voila:
"Hello Mistress, what do you need?"

Want the LIs to be more flirty? Name MC Cutie or Gorgeous and you get:
"Hello Cutie, what do you need?"
"Hello Gorgeous, what do you need?"

Want the LIs to insult you? Name MC Idiot or Bitch and it becomes:
"Hello Idiot, what do you need?"
"Hello Bitch, what do you need?"

Please suggest more creative names for MC!

"I'm gay"
If the game allows special characters of course. If it does not then
"I am gay"
But then it depends on the allowed length of the name.

It doesn't always work in a sentence and straight up ruins the whole vibe of the game (if its not already a comedy or something) but when it does its hilarious (to me at least, even just imagining makes me chuckle) like going by your example,

"Hello I'm gay, what do you need?"

Bitch is a good name contender to use too, especially writing it without the capital letter so it sound more natural when a character talks to us.

It would be funny if the main character's name were "Master."

I usually don't do this in otome games because I'd feel embarrassed and sorry for the MCs; they're usually so nice and cute! On the other hand, when I play RPGs and the protagonist is male, I like to do this kind of thing. I remember changing Cloud's name in Final Fantasy VII to "Bitter Lord" and Yojimbo's name in Final Fantasy X to "Oiran" because I got annoyed that he charged high amounts of gil to use his abilities Σ⁠(⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠) the audacity? It's been years but I'm still annoyed by that

I'm not changing it just to get a better sense of how the character pronounces the name and with what tone. This will show what he pays attention to and what kind of dynamic it creates.
And I really love it when characters come up with nicknames, too. Instead of just using "-san" and "-chan," it really shows their personalities.
I even look forward to hearing these made-up names from characters who aren't usually the ones to give them to MC

I usually don't like changing characters names because I enjoy hearing the voiced name, but that reminds me of mobile otoge/joseimuke that have special interactions when you change your nickname! I've seen some western otoge/amare that also have voiced petnames

I believe I first saw it in Love x Producer some years ago, when the characters had different reactions if you put a petname as your nickname (like queen or cutie lol). I think Love and Deepspace has something like that as well? I'm not really sure though
