Eh. I know the name is easy to make fun of, ala: Low Ryder, Dick Ryder, etc.
But I don't really see how that's Bioware's problem. It's a cool name, if people want to make a joke of it, more power to them, that shit's funny. I'm not going to give my character a joke name, but I honestly couldn't give a toss if other people do.

I know the jokes. They're dumb, but whatever. It's not like anyone sees it except you anyway. Well, I guess, like my parents, Bioware thought it was a cool name? I'm not saying that the jokes aren't dense. But people will make fun of the name. And uhh, everyone sees it. But so what?
Additionally, I've mostly seen people who like the name and in regards to the jokes, I don't think I've really seen jokes where it was because they disliked or even hated the name. In a lot of cases, people like the name exactly because of the jokes they can make with it like Dick Ryder. Sure, you can argue whether the jokes are funny or not but the intent behind the jokes do not tend at all to be based on negative thoughts or feelings from what I've seen.

Okay. Just wait. There will be someone out there with an absolutely horrid name. Personally, I don't care. However, I'm not one of these FPS shooter Bros either. So, just wait. Ya know, one of those people that thinks if you have a modicum of talent, you suck and should die.

My female will be Ghost and male will be Dick. There will be plenty more playthroughs but other names I can't decide on until I actually get into the character creator and see what best matches the faces I make. I've been sub-consciously contemplating "Ghost" as a name ever since it's first mention, with Goust as a possible spelling. It seems silly but it might make for a good infiltrator role run. I like to keep things really traditional but my Hero, Hawke and Shepard were all named Michael so i'm trying to come up with a new name. Maybe Reed Ryder. I like that. Consider that name stolen.

However, I do agree about the puns and hate them, too. On the topic of people using their own names for the first playthrough... not sure Ryder Ryder would sound particularly great "Banshee Slightly Disapproves", What?! Not sure exactly what you're asking, but here are 2 possible answers: 1. They said they didn't like the name, so I slightly disapproved. Which was (mostly) a joke 2. If you're asking how I made it, I like to employ my average photo-editing skills to do silly and sometimes productive stuff Copy-paste the icon, then type in my sentence in the correct font. Voilà! That series wasn't actually too hard to make. I know the jokes. They're dumb, but whatever. It's not like anyone sees it except you anyway. Well, I guess, like my parents, Bioware thought it was a cool name? I'm not saying that the jokes aren't dense. But people will make fun of the name. And uhh, everyone sees it. Yeah, they will. Oh well. It's dumb, but I don't think that's a good enough reason not to choose it. Yes, everyone sees that the protagonist is called Ryder, but what I meant was that only you see whatever joke first name you selected, aside from sharing it on forums etc., so no big deal.

Yeh, I completely agree though. I don't understand why they couldn't have come up with a different name. Sride, Stride, Saride, Pride, anything other than Ryder. Hell, even Rydder would have been better. Like, "Rid-er" instead of how they spelled it "Ride-er". Ryder, in this case, is a derivation of "Ride", as in Sally Ride, the first American woman in space. Just as Shepard was named after Alan Shepard, the first American man in space. Which kind of made me want to, in hindsight, make my Shepard canon a Male so you would have canon Male Shepard and then canon Female Ryder. Which my Canon Ryder will probably my female again. Probably.

I think we might have a communication problem Conrad would be fairly funny though. I doubt Shep will be mentioned much if at all though, so you probably wouldn't get to use that name to its full potential

Been rewatching my favorite Alien Isolation Let's Play on youtube lately and I think I'm gonna name my first female Ryder "Amanda". Make her an engineer, cus I've always wanted to give that class a real go. Depending on how the CC turns out, I might even be able to replicate her looks pretty well: Or really, I'd maybe take some elements from her design and then mess with the rest myself. Want to use her as inspiration, not make a carbon copy clone. "Amanda Ryder" has a nice ring to it. Not sure what I'd name the brother, though...

On Ryder jokes topic. I have a friend with 'worse' surname. Truth be told, at the beginning, I found it funny. But as time passed I, as well as others from our class, got used to it. I think the same will happen with Ryder. People'll get used to it. At least here, where I suppose a lot of talking about Ryder will happen. On actual thread topic. Since last video and 'vault' thing... I'm considering using names from Borderlands But Zoe is still high on my priority list.
