Hahaha, you having an Inquisitor named Hot Pocket! That's hilarious. (As is Deathray.) I love the thought of playing through such an epically scaled game with a silly name, but I've never done it. I always try to come up with something that I like that feels a bit unusual but not outrageous. Not sure how well I do. (I've used Hadwin, Namir, Othain, Ellyn, Naladrie, Solveig and Rylee. That's just a couple.)

I don't write though, and if I did I'm not sure what I would do. The canon names can be boring sometimes, but that doesn't stop the confusion when I see something different.

Your names are pretty cool, actually! They're unique, but still suit the canon world really well, if that makes sense?

I got into the habit of silly names as a kid with Pokemon and ... never really stopped, haha. It helps that their names are never actually spoken out loud, since I don't think I'd be able to take anything seriously if they were.

And for that same reason, I've never been able to complete a playthrough with a deliberately hilarious/ridiculous-looking character, haha (like, with all of the sliders as extreme as they'll go).

That's what I try for! I wouldn't name one of my Dragon Age protagonists 'Ashley' or 'John', lol.

Ooo, you should play Fallout 4. Fallout 4 does have a character that will read your player name, and they've recorded some pretty ridiculous ones. (Fuckface, for instance.) I wonder if that would work for you! (If nothing else, it would be entertaining.)

Oh god, I couldn't either. I don't even attempt to make hilarious looking characters, I want all my protagonists to look like cuties or super models.
