Name Changing: Do you do it?

[RaineAmorie]

Just curious if anyone out there changes their name on a (semi)regular basis?

Personally, I'm a lore junkie and like to change my race a lot, so I often end up changing my name when I'm settled on something new. Sure, some ppl don't get who I am right off, but most of my good friends can tell easily. Keeps things fresh.

My name has nothing to do with my race, job, or affliction, so I don't think I will ever change it.

[Maaizr]

nope, have never changed it - just wouldn't feel right

I've only changed my name once, and that was after my fiancé and I got married in game. Kind of surprised her when I took her name lol. Figured it would be appropriate for a male Miqo'te to take the woman's name.

I've changed one character's name when using a Fantasia, but in that case it was partly the name that was the problem (two people with the same name-based nickname in my most active social Linkshell, meaning loads of confusion as to who is who and who says what and who's being addressed), and since the character was based on an old RP character, I didn't feel right just changing his name ^^; But then I changed the character to that RP character's sister instead xD

For my main, I think it's fairly obvious *points to the character info to the left* that I haven't changed ^_~ I started out as a Sun Seeker, and spent more than a year in that body. Changed the first time, to a Highlander female, shortly after the Halloween event last year (my 'excuse' being a glamour that didn't fall off ^_~), but not only couldn't I come up with a good name, I wasn't too keen on spending a bunch of extra money on something that was only going to be a temporary change. Three or so months later I changed to an Elezen male, and after a few months went back to Miqo'te male -- but a Keeper of the Moon this time. And then decided to try out Au Ra for a while xD But yeah, not likely to change my name ^^; At least not my first name. Technically, I'm not a Tia any more, since me and a friend went for an 'eyecandy match', but I'm not a Nuhn either, since two males aren't likely to breed very efficiently xD (And it annoys me when my GC insists on calling me Lieutenant Tia. It's like calling a female character "Miss Lieutenant" ¬_¬)

♥ Yes. Definitely. (Also an awesome surprise for her ^__^)

Nope! Even as I fantasia'd from a roe to a hyur, my name stays the same. After all, what would Hydaelyn be like without the Burning Passion?

I want to change mine to a lore friendly one but my husband and I wouldn't match anymore :/

Why not have the both of you switch to a lore friendly name?

I'm just an Appearance OCD. I can't tell you how many times I Race Changed and Name Changed til I finally settled on my current character. In other games it's far worst. I could be 100 hours into a game and the moment something is off with my character, delete and restart from the beginning. There's times I would stay stuck on the character creation screen for about half a week. I would say for XIV, Name Changed around 10 times while almost 50 Fantasias have been used.
