Hello, Insert Name Here: Difference between revisions

** In 'Puzzle De Harvest Moon'' the previously un-named characters were given names with [[Spell My Name with an "S"|odd spelling]].

** Actually ''every'' protagonist does have a default name. Until recently though, they were rarely stated in-game and were often shoved aside by [[Fanon Discontinuity]].

* In ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]]'', prior to the option of available speech, the name and callsign you chose at the start of the game was worked into the speech text. Starting with the [[Full Motion Video]] of ''Wing Commander III'', you could only choose your callsign, but it was never mentioned in conversation.

** In fact, while [[Colonel Badass|Colonel Blair]] (as the [[Player Character]]) had his last name on the nametag on his uniform, the other pilots were tagged with their callsigns.

** Subverted again with {{spoiler|the twelve Troll kids}}. The first one cuts down his first name suggestion – [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|literally]] – and gives a reminder that he has [[Loads and Loads of Characters|lots of friends]] that also needs introductions, and following through with that [[Running Gag]] every time [[Lampshade Hanging|would take up way too much time]]. Played straight with {{spoiler|the Trolls' ''planet'', Alternia.}}

** Subverted once again with the Alpha kids, who are 16 when the narrative switches to them, and thus already recieved names (both the original kids and the Alpha kids recieve their names at 13.) Besides, the reader would've just named them something dumb like Barnstench Fartface.

* ''[[Xkcd]]'' shows [http://xkcd.com/327/ how to abuse this] in [[Real Life]] to create a SQL injection.

* Parodied in ''Super Effective'', the side project of ''[[VG Cats]]'' creator Scott Ramsoomair, where the protagonist [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red]] reminds Professor Oak that his Grandson is named [[Fail O'Suckyname|"Douche"]].
