Surname actually.
Though... Seppo Seppo would be unique.
Never seen dual naming like that.
Had an army buddy who was named Godfrey Godfrey...I always joked with him that that was a lot of god reference. Hmmm...that actually wouldn't be a bad surname for PC-next. I like Mitchell too.

Well, why not give this game the code name "bowie" and call the lead character "Major Tom".
Of the existing names, "vas Qwip-Qwip" also has potential.

You know, I actually would dig this. If Bioware sets the next game a few hundred years in the future it would be a nice easter egg if the protagonist did share a surname with a character from the trilogy.

If it isn't Ryder, perhaps they'll go with something like Inquisition, where your character's backstory determines their surname.
As in...
Admiral Joyce and his wife (Spacer) have an impressive career in the Alliance, but you know them as your brother and sister-in-law.
The Hawkins family (Colonist) helped settle Avitus Prime, you are the youngest son/daughter and want to see everything.
Your grandfather, known only as Locke (Earthborn) was a notorious gangster in the greater London metropolis; will you live up to the name or choose something different?
Just to illustrate.
--------
Another idea is to borrow from Fallout 4 and have one companion that will refer to you by the name you put in (Michael), and everyone else refers to you by a common thread/plot-point (Blue, General, Vault Dweller).
So maybe an early mission could involve some daring pilot-manuevers, so you're established as an ace pilot.
"Hey, Ace! I just got a distress call from a downed turian cruiser, they need our help!"
I know that may be a bit cheesey, but you get the idea.

I'd reccomend Gagarin too, but he already has a star system and an important space station named after him in the series. Tereshkova only has a star system.

I think the benefit of the names so far is they are both homage to a past astronaut but also mean something. A Shepard is a thing, while the spelling is different Ryder evokes something due to rider. Will a Zakharov feel the same I doubt it, at least not to the English speaking market.

Surname actually.
Though... Seppo Seppo would be unique.
Never seen dual naming like that.

Just not Cameron Mitchell -that dude ended Stargate -well every franchise he stars in dies within four years of his arrival that I have seen.

I know that may be a bit cheesey, but you get the idea. Cheesy? Its better than half the stuff Bioware has given us lately. I hope there's the option to have a default name. The whole everyone saying the PC's last name everywhere just doesn't really hold up anymore. They would have to go for something very simple then. So they could keep as much time set on developing the story. As michaeln7 said in vein of Fallout 4 -which had ALOT of names available: Warning Mature Language:

Buzz AldrinJohn GlennJoseph A. WalkerDavid Wolf***Kalpana ChawlaKatherine Johnson***Stephen Hawking***
***-personal preference lol, cool last names that stand out imo Yep.
Maybe a combination of last names of different surnames? Glenn Aldrin or Wolf Johnson or Hawking Walker... I don't know where I saw this name so long ago -maybe its root is roman or latin: Ventrillius -simply no idea.
I however may use it going forward in Bioware games -AS LONG AS THEY GET BETTER from this monstrosity. His name is Will Continue. It's on the trailer. That is the Title of the new game, Mass Effect: Will Continue. If it does well, it will have sequel, Mass Effect: Will Continue 2. And if it flops worse than a flounder on land for an hour starving for breath it will have the following name: Mass Effect: Will NOT Continue 2.

Yeah we techies never get enough credit. Well, why not give this game the code name "bowie" and call the lead character " Major Tom". Of the existing names, "vas Qwip-Qwip" also has potential. Yes it definately has potential. Though since they did at least at one point have their homeworld back maybe have Rannoch in there somewhere. THAT is one Easter egg -IF as character creator code that would fit -just put in David Bowie. His song starts playing as his likeness is given to your character to play as.
Though after hearing Peter Schilling - Major Tom -that too would be a good easter egg.

Mass Effect: Will Continue 2 No. They won't number it. It will be something like "Will Continue Returns/Rises/Reloaded/Revolutions/Revengeance". You forgot: Resurgence....
But don't worry I am sure they will copy the skywalker saga, the matrix, and the ID4 franchises. But then again those are the types of names that brings in the big dollars -if only ever for just a short time.
I think the benefit of the names so far is they are both homage to a past astronaut but also mean something. A Shepard is a thing, while the spelling is different Ryder evokes something due to rider. Will a Zakharov feel the same I doubt it, at least not to the English speaking market. Ah!
Yes there is that... The dual meaning in the name... Not certain they can pull that off again...

What's weird is I've worked in fields where addressing people by the last name was the norm, so everyone calling me my first name can just as jarring depending on context. Personally, this isn’t something I’m used to, since at work we’ve always been on a first name basis. But among the roster in these games, the same is true there as well. Everyone’s just Mordin, or Miranda, or Samara, or Garrus, etc., until they talk to the Commander. Then there’s dialogue when fraternizing. No one’s gonna say your last name during sexytimes unless they want to be kink formal or something. It's normal in militaries to refer to people by their surnames, with rank thrown in if addressing them more formally. Most units I've been in, I knew very few first names, and never used them on duty anyway. "Shepard" or Commander made enough sense from that perspective in the MET, as did referring to say Hackett and Anderson by Rank and Name instead of Steven and David With companion characters, though, this convention was rarely if ever observed. You'd hear the occasional "Williams" or "T'Soni" but most times it was given names. Made sense for those with unorthodox naming conventions (e.g krogan) but otherwise I would've liked the option to see it used more (in hindsight, maybe integrated with the more professional vs casual dialogue options you see in MEA). It's amusing to renegade shout at characters to salute you and observe proper military etiquette/bearing like a hardass drill instructor, then casually call them by their first name in the next sentence. Andromeda it also made no sense as a convention, given that you weren't in a military, and that there were 3 seperate Ryders in the leadership structure made it even more confusing.

Frimout. It's time the first Belgian in space got honored in a video game. Why not have a list of all sorts of names from astronauts all over the world?
The 'firsts' are less than 130, so a bit more manageable.
