>>376663042
Never.
My name is John, so not really.
It happened once, that was pretty cool, except he died after five minutes
Closest I've come is Justin.
Only in adaptations of Cory's in the House or Die Hard games do I ever hear my name.

Rohan's a legit name though.
What are some Nathan's in video games?
>>376663770
>At least yours has some story behind it
the story behind his name is that his parents didn't want him
you're a kingdom
>>376663907
That's almost as dumb as asking if there are any Leons or Johns.
>>376664082
The only one I can think of is Nathan Drake and I don't give a fuck about Uncharted.

My name is Spencer. Besides Spencer in Resident Evil no game character shares my name to my knowledge. Meanwhile, my brother's name is used all the time. Fucking sucks
Only character to ever share my name was either that fag in Far Cry 3 or the dog in CoD Ghosts.
>Being from a third world country
>I haven't seen the first protagonist whose name isDaniel
Feels bad man
>>376669241
wasn't the dog literally named "ghost"?
There's no videogame in the history of forever where the main character or support character was named Andrew without it being a choose your name character.

Mafia II
He was Fat, but who cares if youre a cool guy.

are you really named Tristram ?
notTristan? because thats an actual name
I don't think there is a vidya Taylor
>>376672967
There is :3
>>376665597
Nobody cares
I think there was someone in the new Mirror's Edge named Noah, but I never actually played it. Outisde of that my name doesn't come up in video games that much, besides maybe biblical ones.
>>376673294
Go away, Jew.

Not really. It's spelled wrong anyway.
Only Erik I know is the slayer from Skyrim.

My name is in the Bible but my parents purposefully spelled it wrong and every teacher, customer support rep, or government worker I've ever spoken with has needed correcting.
You occasionally see "Jeremiah" in games and every time I do I'm reminded of how my parents were assholes. It never feels good.

Name one (1) videogame character named Peter.
>>376681453
>the final boss has your name and dies

That's a real Celtic/Irish name. I think there's a similar Sanskrit/Indian name as well.

I've only ever seen "Ian" get used as random NPC trainer's in the Pokemon games. Makes it really jarring every time I encounter them, but there's been at least one nearly every generation since gen 2.
Outside that, I've seen far too many movies where characters with my name are usually an unlikable villain, unlikable side character, dead, or a combination of at least two or all three those. Kind of a shit deal.
If there are any games out there with a major character named Ian that I'm unaware of I'd certainly like to know about it, I have yet to personally encounter any.

There are very, very few Dans in video games in general. The only one I can think of immediately is the one from Street Fighter, and his name is a (non-sexual) double entendre. The character his name is written with in Japanese means "failure" or something.
