I always keep the default names, mainly because then other people know what I am talking about. Example though: my boyfriend was playing this game, and renamed Tidus as his own name, and as he doesn't really play FF games, I was talking to him about them, and he couldn't work out who Tidus was- he asked me if he was a character he hadn't encountered yet. Not his fault really, as he's not a big FF player

Haha. The first time I played FFX I renamed all the Aeons after Yugioh cards and renamed Tidus after my own name. It made sense at the time, seeing as I was like, 13
Although, after that. No, I don't change Tidus' name, or the Aeons names. Mainly because I can't think of any better names, and the names they already have are pretty much perfect anyway. xD

I always change the name of my characters on any games, if possible.
My first name for Tidus was Zack, after my little baby brother, which brought me luck because it was the first time playing it and i beat it, I also named Tidus after my fiance, makes the game more interesting.
So I'll give a few names i used on aeons, normally named after pets.

On my first file I renamed all of them. Now a days though, I leave the original names because when I rename them, it just looks stupid. Eg. Ixion was "horsey" and yojimbo was "chinaman" >_> I thought it was funny back then

I usually named Tidus Derek or Daedalus, since the PS2 used to be a family console.
It still kind of sticks, but I always name my aeons.
I know the first time I played, I named Valefor something really silly, but I can't remember what. It was probably Faygoat or something lololol
Ifrit: Pyronide
Bahamut: Delorean
Shiva: Glitterati, Celcius
Yojimbo: Cocksucker (thats what you get for taking all of my money, fuckin ho >.>)
Ixion: Nixion
but now that i think about it, im pretty sure i named valefor ******faggot for luls

I never rename my characters on any game, did it once and it completely ruined my enjoyment of it, only played one session on that save before deleting it. The default names are usually pretty good and it just seems wrong having a 'John' or a 'Fred' in the Final Fantasy world.
