Do you use your own name when naming characters?

I use the same name in all the games,and same last name too. first time I used my real name it creeped me out.
I mean A lot of the popular games I have seen and played never have the mc reveal themselves and this to some people is really nice.
I think I've seen one game that did this. Don't remember which one, but I appreciated the dev for doing that.Is there a way for Ren'py to warn players if they are using the same name as one of the NPCs? It can get kind of confusing when my name and one of the main NPCs names are the same
As someone who does use his first name, there have been a few games where I've run into an NPC that also uses that name. One time I was legit confused about who a female character was talking about.

If I am given the option of naming the character and I like the character I am playing as, then I don't mind putting my name. Sure that character may be nothing like me, but I like to imagine things. Something like looking up to a hero and wanting to be like him or her.
I usually pick one at semi random so I can kind of sink into the character and roleplay. It's kind of fun to explore stuff that I'm not necessarily into in real life.

If there's a name already selected, I tend to use that.
If there's not, but there's a canon name revealed somewhere (like on a wiki), I use the canon name, assuming it's not completely dumb.
If neither of those two criteria are fulfilled, it depends on what game it is.
In H-Games, I tend to name myself random things. If I plan on being a corruptive/enslaving asshole, I just go by "Master" which... honestly amuses me more than it probably should.
In non-H games, I usually just go by "Hero" (generic, I know).
In online games, I use one of my various aliases or make up a new one specifically for that game.

I don't really care what the character's name is but if it's a male MC I already unconsciously imagine myself as that character whether they look anything like me or not so I might as well also give him my name. For a female main character I usually call them something from my past to try to add "some" connection to the character.

Old as hell thread but lets go, some time ago when the game didn't have a default name i would put the protagonist's name as Demo and when available the surname was Nio, so Demo Nio, now i just use the default name or when there isn't one i try to make a name using the title syllables haha.
