I usuall give my characters my real first name, especially in computer games like this, assuming that they are relatively similar to me (similar race, same gender and such) becuase I feel it brings you closer to the story, plus "Ken" is not a bad video game name anyway, hey, it has been used before. I usually only give characters in video games, unlike in PnP games, a single name, the reason for this is that because of the way the game is scripted, characters would go around calling you "Cullen Trey" all the time, for example, like "hey whats up Cullen Trey", or "hey, can Cullen Trey come over?" It is just awkward and weird. As for other PnP games, I tend to use names from darker characters from fiction, games, or movies I like, since those characters are always my favorites. Names like: Wesker, Valentine, Deckard, and the like.
