Joking aside, I always name my first file by my real name, then the 2nd after the MC. If the name was too big I'd shorten it (Lillian -> Lilly).
I don't either. I'd really prefer to self-insert, actually!
But it's a little bit difficult to do that when you're a guy playing as a girl primarily to romance guys. I could kinda get away with it in Story of Seasons, since the Stamina meter was generic and dialogue didn't call quite as much attention to it, but this game seems a lot more determined to remind the player that no matter how they want to look they're actually the default blonde girl seen on both screens at all times. So I think I'm going to have to give up the illusion in this game and just play as the default MC, heh.
Yeah I'm actually not a fan of the blonde hair blue eyed photo because my character doesn't look like that and I have to constantly go "Ooooh, right, that's me!" I wish they had the avatar change according to how you customize your character.
I really, really wish this as well. Or just no avatar. My MC looks nothing like the blonde hair, blue eyed avatar. IDK why it bothers me so much, but it does.
I never use my name IRL because it rarely fits (Courtney), so I tend to use my typical online persona (Dove).
