I love The Beatles and Metallica (Metallica from the 80's, mind you), and therefore I tend to name the chars after the members in those groups, i.e. John-Paul-George-Ringo and James-Lars-Cliff-Kirk.
I also got the idea of naming them after the main characters in FF2, Firion-Maria-Gus-Leon.
I think it's pretty funny, and it does add a bit to the feeling, though this might sound odd to some people.

What did you name the Onion Knights?
I'd like to get some advice and whatnot.

[Tavrobel]

No, I have not.

Luke
Chrsus (shortened from a name that you will never ever figure out)
Kenan
High

[Cruise Control]

Beef
Taco
Pork
Rice

Those are my FF1-FF4 names.

[Zeromus_X]

Only the Beatles.

I've only named the FFI characters after the main characters from FFV. I usually name my FF3j characters after other FF characters, such as: Cloud, Zidane, Terra and Cecil, or Auron, Beatrix, Aeris and Golbez. I know, that's a bit too many female characters for FFIII, but it doesn't really matter since most classes are asexual anyway. Since FFIII DS has default names for the characters, I'll just let them keep their default names.

Feion
Malakl
Mavrah
Pollux

But I didn't change their names on the DS version.

Not really, the main characters are supposed to be male.
Therefore, the Jobs are most likely male, at least indirectly.

Stated by one word in the opening credits and totally ignored in FFIII DS. Anyway, as I said, I know that's a bit too many female characters for FFIII (should have been 4 males and 0 females), but it doesn't really matter since most classes are asexual anyway, based on what they look.
