I've named every single profile on every single game I've played either "Salmon Jones" if it allows that many characters or just "Salmon" if there's a low character limit. I've done that since I got my first game console at age 11. Every single one. I used to find it amusing to me that my fictional alter-ego of Salmon Jones was actually literally the same guy doing all these video gaming things. That my boy Salmons was off slaying dragons one day then dammit wouldn't you know it he was off blowing the shit out of terrorists or playing chess or being a getaway driver the next day. Like it was a persistent person that just got in a shitload of misadventures.
Eventually I became old and haggard but no less easily amused so I still do it. So I can honestly say if you somehow looked through my gaming history every single thing you'd find is named "Salmon Jones". Every memory card, every profile, everything. If it let me add my own name, that's the name I've been using for decades.
I just pulled the name out of my ass. No relation to anthing at all that I can remember. I needed to name myself something on some long-forgotten game profile creation screen and that was the first thing to come to mind.

Did you keep a consistent look to him throughout every game that allowed it? Closest similar story I got is I have a guy I remake on literally every Sims game, and always make him a police officer or whatever is closest, he then has a family spanning generations that is wildly different every game. I also made him in one of the WWE games once to play through the campaigns.

Depends on the game and how many characters are allowed. If it’s a game with a distinct setting like Japan or the Middle Ages, I try to think of a name that fits the setting. If its just a regular game I enter the first thing that comes to mind. Now character creation is where I get bogged down.

I did this for every WWE game I owned starting with No Mercy on the N64. His name was Bob Lemmings, and he was pretty much just an expy of Mick Foley but skinny, ponytail, and cargo pants. I don't know why, I just feel compelled to make him every damn WWE game. It's basically tradition at this point, even if I don't want to. I've also got another guy, Jack Fu, that started as a pure Kung Fu guy but evolved into more of a MMA fighter as the years went on, incorporating more and more submission based moves and strikes rather than just kicks. I'm fucking autistic, I tell you what.

i dont see it like that, name choosing is more of a choice about you wanting see the game from a more external point of view like someone watching a movie, or , you want to that guy to be your ingame persona.
Naming the rest of characters around is probably so that you can feel attached to them.
Spending time thinking of a cool name is for fags anyway.

Surprised by the amount of seemingly thoughtless choices in this thread.
Maybe I'm just a bit of an autist when it comes to this but it takes me forever to think of a suiting name, I usually have to have it match up with the class/playstyle and have it sound cool. Can take a while.
I actually keep a text document of cool names to use later when I come across them in books or other places.

Almost always a meme name like Niggertits or ASSFAGGOTS. Unless I'm taking the game seriously then I usually have no trouble thinking of a name that suits.
If I have to name party members, it's always something different. If a character dies, a new member has to have a different name, this is also true for pets or summoned characters (if they are able to be named) and usually they're named ironically for something they did in the last life or how they died. Like if they burn to death, it's something like "thefirerises".
It's the little things like that which keep me entertained through games.
The real question though is do you play a female character?

If it's just a first name for my character, and I'm making a male character, then I don't have a problem. I have one name that I really like and use it for all my characters. But if I have to come up with a last name, give other characters names, or I'm making a female character, I get stuck for a pretty long time. I'm bad at coming up with names in general. I've thought about making something in the editors for a few games, and one of the things that always discourages me is knowing that I'll have to come up with names for every character and location.
