offleyhornet Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Simple thread really. When it comes to starting a new game and entering your information, do you choose your own name? Or do you decide to mix it up a bit and invent one for the fun of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aderow Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I use the name Tom Healy. I usually make a player named after myself and give him a really low PA and really high CA and see if I can make him a world class player. I use this. My current manager persona is called Pacey Moore I tried that just now and here's what I got: Ernie Kaeden Johan Tyriq Arts Kenco The Kencoman.Then when I get a new stadium, it's called The Kencoman Stadium.

rancer890 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 no Your worst opinion list must have bad tastes. I use Ricky Nakano. It's not my real name though. Other names I would use but I have never used on a save on the forums are: Lee Ji-Geon (South Korean) Lee Chi-Kin (China/HK) Lee isn't my real surname but it's common in both countries so I keep it like that. Ji-Geon and Chi-Kin are my real Korean/Chinese name though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyzer Soze Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 My own name. Once i choose "Rui Costa" for my manager name, because i want to do a save where i manage Benfica, Fiorentina and Milan.

Sideshow Robbie Earle Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 My own first name and my middle name as surname when playing LLM. I'll use an ex-player's name if starting a little higher - I think I've been Neil Webb and Lionel Morgan in the past. Currently I'm Lee Griffiths, who was a regen Welsh international that went from BSP to PL with my Kingstonian side. When I retired my 1st manager (nowhere available I felt it was realistic to go after managing England) I created him as my continuation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
