  Top 5 most common themes for ego names i have found on Tarlach (not in a particular order).
  
  1. Named after a character. (i.e. "Sephiroth", "Amidamaru", ect.)
  2. Generic word for either light or darkness. (i.e. "Angel", "Shadow", "light", "Darkness", ect.)
  3. Named after a famous weapon type or legendary weapon. (i.e. "Katana", "Muramasa", "Excalibur")
  4. Named after spouse.
  5. Sexual references.
  
  Overused ego names/themes takes from the "epicness" of your ego imo.

  
  
  This summed it all up so perfectly. It's not just Tarlach, it's anywhere people can name anything in virtual reality. If you can apply your own custom name to it, chances are the above five categories are dominant on both consoles and the Internet.
  
  Naming your ego weapon "Sephiroth" or "Cloud" or some Japanese word for light or darkness doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look like a run-of-the-mill fanboy with no originality whatsoever. =P If you're gonna show off your fandom, at least be a fan of something that's less mainstream. I mean, name your ego weapon "Protonpack" or something and show some Ghostbusters love. How many people do you see with egos like THAT? It's like wearing red and/or black gear -- sure it's a cool color scheme but EVERYONE uses it and wearing it doesn't make you look like anything special.
  
  At the risk of sounding like I've been honking my own horn -- my ego weapon is named Shininglaser, after the most devastating weapon in MegaMan Trigger's arsenal.

  Too many Japanese names.
  
  Get some Old Norse names like my battle hammer Njordr. \o/

  
  
  <-< and no Mjolnir?
  
  I don't really keep track of ego names, I hardly have mine out unless I got some scraps for her to eat xD
  
  my current ego, out of lack of creativity, is named Desire (oddly my first ego wasn't named Ragnell, but my Husky is named Ragnell o.o)

  D: But I wear red/black (I mean completely red and black right down to base weapons).
  But I do that not to impress but because I can't stick to any other fricken color scheme and i've tried virtually everything DX.
  
  
  But yea it is wicked common. Games are just another way for people to attempt to be "badass" but never has some little anime character fandom screamed "badass" to me. Using dead or uncommon languages? That's wicked imo. I get all excited whenever I see Hebrew or something somewhere instead of Japanese. Plus if your going to use the light/darkness imagery or anything like that, play it up properly and i will love you. Seriously, i have an alt that i plan to train up later named Angelleon and he's going to have semi-religious imagery all over him. Heck yes.
  
  
  Gah that rambled on too much.
