I usually change the main characters name to my name for 2nd play-throughs of most FFs. First play through I stick to default.

I usually don't change their names and just keep the defaults. However, when I played the fan-translated Hard Type, I did the following changes: *prepares to get bashed by Zeromus and Kishi *

Cain --> Kain
Gilbert --> Edward
Tella --> Tellah

I'd have changed Golbeze to either Golbez or Golbeza, but he never joins your party, so you can't get to rename him.

I very rarely change character names in any of these games. I kept all the defaults in FFIV.

The only time I'll change a name is if it has an absolutely horrendous spelling that I can't stand at all (very rare)

whats for laughs i put a a in front of cecil to make cecila lol

I don't really see the reason of changing names. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, unless it was called a dungflower. Seriously, I usuallly don't change the names of characters' names because it ruins the story in my personal opinion.

for a joke i changed the names on my friend's copy to dirty words, the only one i can post is

Rosa= Booby

the guy didn't even change them back, i have a strange idea of humour dont i...

Cecil -> FF4
Rydia -> kicks
Edge -> so
Rosa -> much
Kain -> arse

I don't like to change my name, I like sticking to the story.
