Character name the letters of the alphabet.

Am I the only one who thinks that naming a character with a letter was pretty lame? Sure, you solve a lot of problema with the voice overs but at least we could have some real male/female names!

Nope. And we still have no idea what does the V signify, other than being gender-neutral (for some reason, since we already heard Dexter say "Miss V" and "Mister V" it doesnt seem to be that important)

I believe its been said V is a "Street name", not V's actual name. It is the name the NPCs will refer to.
 
I like it , there`s nothing worse than playing the whole game with a NCP`s who don`t know your name . Rather than being called Hero , Commander or any other title V has a name that long time Friends like Jackie can call you . Oh and don`t get me started on Lovers , I just made sweet passionate love to Judy only for her to call me Officer / Doctor :eek: A name is more intimate than a title .

In the Lore you wouldn`t want everyone to know your real name :shrug:
 
I think V is an awesome name.
You know like that guy from V for Vendetta. A pretty dope alias but I think its maybe a little odd that even the corporate boss Jenkins calls us V.
But it's better than random titles

It's better than not having one like far cry 5. I hated having no identity, unlike the previous games.
Actually I would rather have no name at all than... V ? What kind of surname is that?

it's one thing to have a preset name because you're playing a character with a background and all that (i.e. Geralt of Rivia) but for a game where you're put in the role of a nobody becoming the hero, I would have expected something better.

There are other strategies to cope with the voice overs, for example using a title or a proper surname. V seems really out of place

This ain't Fallout 4
 
Yeah V is your handle or street name, like in the pnp game your character may have a real name but pretty much everyone calls you by your street name.

I played a character in 2020 for almost 3 years and only 2 people ever called him by his real name and one of them was his mother lol.

It's for Victor or Valerie iirc, those are the two cannon names for the character and you learn that during the visit to clouds in the main story. Me personally though, I wish the protagonist had no set name, had no spoken voice lines, there's nothing wrong with a silent protagonist that picks dialogue options THAT SAY WHAT'S WRITTEN instead of going off script and making my character say something I didn't intend to.
