We've all made our guardians just how we want them; they're the class we want them, the race we want them, and they have the face we want them to have. It'd be a subtle, yet great customisation option if we could name them.
It shouldn't show as a display name though, it should only be visible to others when they inspect your character.

I think this is a great idea, get on this Bungie!

Edited by Chronic: 7/29/2014 6:16:48 AMGoing into the beta I thought Destiny had unique names! I was very surprised to see it didn't, hopefully the full game will. I can see how up to three names per person would be a lot to mess with, maybe if you had an option to show one different name for your account, rather then show you xbl/psn account. Like a legacy name
-
I agree with giving our Guardians names, it's not a big change just a nice one
-
Though that maybe be nice, and I would agree with it if it became true. That possibly might be a whole lot of maintenance and extra work on their part, monitoring used names and censoring bad ones, also the process of whether to delete the character if they're made and never used, taking up a username that could be use by an active person instead. Just possible thoughts.
-
Agree on naming.
-
I don't need to name mine to kick ass.
-
I quite agree, else there's no point to have a name on bungie site.
-
I would rather name my jumpship.
-
Totally agree. I dont want my PSN username running around.
-
I agree, but I think it should be for a story purpose only, to have a name, and thus should be from a selectable option group that you choose when starting, that way your little Ghost friend talks to YOU rather than at you.
-
What about also naming your ghost since everyone has their own individual one?
-
I love this idea! I'm not really a fan of my PSN username, so being able to change it in-game would be quite nice.
-
"Bump"

I like this. I was not aware till I logged on that we could not name OURSEVLES! I changed my PSN to get the name I wanted. Let's see if it happens. Good post Guardian.
-
Agreed!
-
Valid idea!!! Run with it
-
I was under the impression we could. Even so, the name should replace the position of the gamertag, if not, there is really no point in doing it.
-
Because all fps shoots let you name your character.
-
I think it's a great idea. It would be done better justice as a poll though so Bungie could see the percentages so they can see the number instead of reading each post. If u don't agree that's cool. Just as seeing as how this is a question for yay or nay you might wanna make a poll. ;o)

Edited by Blackcrow3k: 7/28/2014 3:44:22 PMThanks for bringing this up, as I wondering the about that option as I played the Beta. It would be nice to be able to name your guardians differently under your username. It just seems like such a standard option of an MMO style approach. I can understand why it might not fly - given what some of the more "questionable" names somebody will come up with. Maybe its an option that will come with the release. Otherwise - what? You have to make multiple profiles on your console account just to try and get close to the name you want?

I thunk about that idea a while back. And I completely agree. I , personally, think it should replace your gamertag/Username. It would give the game a more... RPG feel if people named their characters something fitting to the lore. Just my two cents.
-
Yes that would be a nice idea, because we can connect more with our character and also if we have an username that fix with a male character we can also create a female character without make her look manly with our username.
-
I agree with this, though it is not at all necessary.
-
Your username is your guardians name though? Can't get more immersive than that! :)
-
I have suggested the same thing. I feel it would be a wonderful addition to the game. Keep are PSN or XBL account names private & give us the chance to give all of our characters unique, individual names.
