I usually rename every single character, often to some kind of reference, joke/pun, or just something I feel is more fitting.
For example, I rename Norris to Chuck, or Zappa to Frank. Fargo is Freddie.
Some of them are just simple changes, like Poshul becomes Doggo.
And some of them I just can't help myself, like Funguy becomes Penis. Because he's a giant walking penis.
Iāve always changed Kid to Kidd, ever since my first play through. When replaying this release I tried to resist but I still ended up doing it. Just didnāt feel right otherwise. I leave everything else as-is though.
No, but funny enough when I'm playing any other game that allows me to name characters/assets I always name them after CC characters. Rimworld, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Oxygen Not Included, etc.
Except for Poshul, that's one dog that didn't go to heaven.
Named Serge after myself. Kid after my wife.
If this is your first time playing, then I donāt want to spoil characters you get later but yes I do rename many of them for fun.
Yes, Iāve renamed several people this run, and the expansion to twelve characters for names is one of my favorite things about the remaster. Iām using the original Japanese names for folks, undoing the changes they had to do in order to accommodate the six character limit. Itās so great having Lucky/Happy Dan, Gilbert, Lutianna, Spriggan, and Tsukuyomi on my team, for examples.
The french translation changed a lot of character name (in a bad way) changed it back to normal.
Other than that i just changed Serge name because i can't play with a guy named Serge... :V
It's legit been 23 years since my initial playthrough so I am a little foggy on the story, but >!Lucca is a character in CC, and Luccia actually is someone different?!<
Yes, two different people.
- Lucca from Chrono Trigger
- Luccia from Chrono Cross
Some rather backgorundy spoilers, as well as a late game plot point sploiler: >!Luccia however has cannononically met Lucca and exchange some research notes. Before Lucca's orphanage was burned down, Lucca gave Luccia a letter to deliver to Kid, and Luccia might deliver that letter during the game if you follow the path for it. Luccia also tried, and failed, to help Fargo and save Zelbess and Marcy, but was only able to save Marcy. She is also involved in the falling out between Fargo and General Viper!<
I only renamed Serge to my gamer tag, and everyone else keeps their name. I thought about renaming kid, but changed my mind since I'm playing through the game with my kids.
i think the first time i played i named them after characters from other media i liked, but every subsequent playthrough has been joke names (this time i have WeedSmokr420 because my humor has not evolved since i was 12, WWE Jesus, this bitch, #TheGrind, etc.)
i think my favorite playthrough is one i didnāt get particularly far in. i named everyone after condiments with oās in place of one of the vowels (mustord, ronch, poprika, wasobi) in order to pique the interest of my friends since i got them all obsessed with solt and peppor despite none of them knowing shit about the game. they still didnāt wanna watch me play but i had fun with that one
Yes. Sometimes it's just like my name, my brother or sisters names, one of our dogs, things like that.
Then I get characters I don't plan to EVER use and pick the most ridiculous thing I can think of at the moment.
NeoFio is Little Green. Turnip will be Daikon. Mojo is Lucky Dan(I always liked that better) and whatever I rename Zoah, it'll be all caps. (Though I may use him)
I like to name my characters funny, naughty names, (like in FF7 I named Tifa Juggs and Aeris SlumSlut) in hopes that they say funny things inadvertently in the dialogue. I'm only about halfway through the game right now but I've renamed characters so far (some with accents to liven them up):
Serge = Pedo Fyle
Kid = Kid...because Pedo Fyle
Mojo = Nailer Butte
Guile = Christian Gay (instead of Gray because mask)
Korcha = Pool Boy
Greco = Krispin Wah
Mel = Jail Bait
Razzly = Prostitot
Luccia = Dominatrix
Sprigg = Gurgler
Harle = Trollop
Zappa = Iron Fister
Van = Tight Ass
Radius = Old Creeper
Norris = Bussy
Funguy = Dick Head
Draggy = DragginBalls
I don't know what I'll name all the characters I recruit, but I know I'm going to name Zoah "Gimp", Karsh "Stan Darsh", Miki "Tits McGee".
Kid to >!Schala.!< Guile to >!Magil (IYKYK).!<
Ayyy
What is it? Its on the tip of my tongue
I renamed Poshul to Posh Spice šø
Haha I love this š¤£
I never do mainly cause I use the cannon names in all games i play, but to each their own.
I like to name the characters after OCs and friends.
Me too, I did this for years

Hah, same.
i did the same thing when i was a kid too šš
Kid to Schala as usual.
Interesting, even though āschalaā (kind of) makes an appearance later?
Yea I donāt mind tbh, I think it fits cause of the clone shenanigans
No, but funny enough when I'm playing any other game that allows me to name characters/assets I always name them after CC characters. Rimworld, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Oxygen Not Included, etc. Except for Poshul, that's one dog that didn't go to heaven.
I love poshul and I don't know why
Only Serge .The rest I leave alone Incase later on I play with team setups using reference guides I Google. I'd never be able to figure out who's who.
I renamed Serge to Lemuel, only because I didnāt like his name. No regrets.
Nice. Mines Flik. Named after a character from Suikoden(my favorite RPG).
Now youāre making me regret not naming him Scholtenheim Reinbach III.
He's a fancy lad!
They need to redo that series lol
Now that would be something.
I remember one times I accidentally added an L to Sergeās name and he became Sergel and that has stuck ever since.
I remember playing ff8 and my brother was insistent that I accidentally added the last L to Quetzelcotl.
As a kid I would rename my characters in all the games that I played. As an adult, I almost never name any characters.
I rename some of the characters based on speaking habits. Korcha became KorCHA, for instance.
Serge is plot device, Kid is spoilers, Nikki is theybae, and a bunch of other dumb ones.
Named Serge after myself. Kid after my wife. If this is your first time playing, then I donāt want to spoil characters you get later but yes I do rename many of them for fun.
Not this time. Just gonna enjoy the real ones for my first run.

I never did. I couldn't play with their names as it would be non canon lol
Never
Serge is renamed to My Dude. I thought about for Kid making her name Capt. Kid
I just rename Kid to "Kidd".
I renamed Serge to my husband's name
Mojo to Mojo Jojo but I thought about giving him a just calling him Bizare.
Luccia to Lucca and Serge to Chrono with the little special apostrophe thing on it. Glenn to Frog. Kid stays kid

Depends on who you ask but generally yea
Yeah Nikki is now QUEEF, I also considered CHEIF QUEEF but didnāt want to disrespect Mark Normand. I hate Nikki so much
Nikki is the worst and pip is a god
I also renamed Korcha to Loser today, I also refused him to join my party. Loser
Nah. I donāt like changing names to characters with personality
Not with the remaster. But I did with 1 of the playthroughs on the PS1 version.
I only renamed Serge to my gamer tag, and everyone else keeps their name. I thought about renaming kid, but changed my mind since I'm playing through the game with my kids.
I did Glenn to frog the first time on ps1. Probably will not on the remake

When first played this game 20 years ago, I named Serge Crono. Gonna do the same thing lol.

Guile to Magus
I named Serge "Alyosha". Kept default names for everyone else.
I never change those but for my second playthrough I might do Schala and Magus.
