What to do when your first and and middle name are the same as ingame characters?

[Kinofrog]

I was starting a new farm and was going to use my first name for my farmer when I realized there's already a character with that name and same goes for my middle name. So I'm kinda stumped on what to name my character and was wondering what people here think?.

(clasping hands) What about.. (motioning hands) ...your last name?

Use your/a nickname (that's what I do for most of the games), add/remove a letter, and abbreviation, there's always a way

 

[skittythetranscat]

do it anyway, the more confusion the towns people the better

I always just give my character a random name that sounds nice.

My farmer's name has no relation to my own but by coincidence it's close enough to someone in the extended family. Choose anything you like!

Edit: it's also the same name I use in any game you can choose your name in. Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3, Ark, etc.

I often use my gamertag. But if there’s enough space you could just put both your names down.

You create a new mod where you delete the character that stole your name and replace him with someone from the Toonami era of shows, like Eustace for example

Generally I just use this name I have online or a pseudonym I've had for ages in games, sometimes with a little suf/prefix to differentiate files (like fightergorilla and fishergorilla for you guessed it, combat and fishing farms)

Call him Grandpa, or her Grandma

I never use my irl name. Just choose a name you’ve always liked.

I like to have different names for different farmers. They’re not me exactly, they’re game characters. It’s freeing. But if I were in your situation and wanted to use my name… maybe initials? First and middle names? Mashup thereof?

I might have named mine 'babe' once so I could get Elliott to call me babe all the time
