Did anyone else think it's funny when you talk to the people in the beds at the infirmery (I think in Giott's castle), and one guy says "G..Golbez", and the next says, "They even have monsters on their side...", and then you're expecting something else all depressing, but the next guy says, "Would you like to change your name?"

Freaking Namingway.

[DarkLadyNyara]

I go with the defaults. The only exception is when I'm playing a translated ROM. And then, it's changing it to the english names.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I usually change Cecil to Maxx just for sheer prosperity since I'm saving the world, dammit, not them!

[Evastio]

I never changed the names except for this one time on the SNES Version.

Cecil: Sugar
Kain: I can't remember
Rydia: Name
Tellah: Slave
Edward: Nobody (I hope Maxx won't get mad. I don't hate Edward)
Rosa: Mmm...
Yang: !!!!!!
Palom: Oh
Porom: Snap
Cid: I can't remember
Edge: I can't remember
FuSoYa: Rocks!

You need to play through the FFII SNES Version to find out why I chose these names.

[ImAFarmer]

Fusoya:SoYaBeans
Cecil:Turd
Rydia:Bahamuter

I didn't bother with anyone else

[Aqua Mage]

Cecil - Licec
Kain - Naik
Rydia - Aidyr
Rosa - Asor
Tellah - Hallet
Edward - Drawde
Edge - Egde
Yang - Gnay
Cid - Dic
Porom - Morop
Palom - Molap
FuSoYa - Ayosuf

I don't know why, but I find that hilarious. o.o

[Dr. Acula]

I don't usually change their names, but here are their names in my latest game:

Cecil: DKnite/Paldin (stupid 6 letter names)
Kain: Dragon
Rosa: WMage
Rydia: Caller
Tellah: Sage
Edward: Bard (or Spoony)
Palom: B. Wiz
Porom: W. Wiz
Yang: Monk
Cid: Engine
Edge: Ninja
FuSoYa: haven't got him yet (can't get past Rubicant) but I'll probably name him Lunarn or something.

Oh, and once I named Cecil Wally. It seemed to suit him.

I don't like when people change the names of the characters, it's something similar to that thing about the new names of the Sabin's abilities in the FF6A, but i thinks it's ok when people change the names for the japanesse ones, or maybe for something creative...
But i've seen people changing the names of my beloved characters to some stupid names of some stupid popular singer or some girly-face actor!... i felt really bad when i saw that, what a shallow mind...!
