Here is an interesting fact. I almost ALWAYS name my game character that I play as either:

A) The name of a greek/other god
B) The name of a war strategist
C) The name of an ancient leader

So as an example.

My Dragon Age Origins Characters are named Achilles, Artemis, and Julius (as in Caesar)

Odd I just noticed this..

I'm kind of guy who likes routine. If anything goes out of my routine or something went wrong, I always think that something bad is about to happen. But most of the time I was wrong. Great things happened instead.

I usually stick to one name. Usually my nickname, and other names are just different variations of the name. (IE: With a number or a few capital letters)

Usually I go with my name or a variation of my name. Bad characters always get the name "Badass".
In Fallout and Oblivion, however, I always name my character Jimbob, or Jimbob the Second, Third, Fourth, etc., depending which playthrough it is.

Some Germanic sounding name followed by "von Dhampir". Usually. Because I'm a dull person.

I may just lack originality or something, but my game characters mainly seem to be either the default name or my real name Ben.
