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.

Hell yeah, game does need this. Stop bumping your own posts too

Good idea i hope bungie adds that
-
Would be nice. There's so much more bigger issues I want them to fix first though
-
Great idea! Or instead of in cutscenes them calling you 'Guardian' all the time they could call you by your name.

Edited by doppnett: 7/28/2014 12:50:10 PMI also have this as a topic. "What's in a name?"

I too would like the ability to name my individual guardians. This would add a greater connection to my character and not make me feel like I'm just running around some Joe Shmoe. Even if that's what I'm doing at the time, LOL, Joe Shmoe will feel personalized. Even if I decide to make 3 of the same class, or one of each class, I'd like each character I make to have a personalized touch, by having their own identity, even if it's just simply a name.

yeah this seems like a small thing to implement, but then again I am no dev.

Your username is your guardians name though? Can't get more immersive than that! :)

was suprised about that to would kinda like to have it but just how many Charecters can we make anyway 3?
-
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.
-
I would rather name my jumpship.
-
I agree with this, though it is not at all necessary.
-
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 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.

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 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)
-
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 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.
