LOL. I remember when I was playing Morrowind I came across a guy in the main city port with the same name as me. I was surprised because the name wasn`t Lore friendly - In fact, i`ve never seen anyone with that name in these games since.

It was just an interesting coincidence.

My name is Mike and M'aiq sounds similar to it. I might just have to use M'aiq as a name if I play a mmorpg, or another rpg where the name fits.

Unfortunately, my name is extremely common, as everytime I hear my name, I have to look around to confirm if anyone is speaking to me. At least in rpgs, the closest that I've seen is M'aiq.

I've only played Oblivion and Skyrim but I highly doubt there is anyone called Lyndsey. Although! I think it might be an okay name for a Breton.

i just encountered an npc with the same name as one of my wow characters, was a bit unsettling.

my own name is ridiculously common.. found a few npcs with the same name, or close variants.

Lol, like me in Oblivion. My longest-lasting character was a Wood Elf called Eridor, and then count Hassildor of Skingrad told me that the leader of the vampire hunters was a Wood Elf called Eridor. That was creepy.

My main character is named Quinlan (departing from my tradition of using Nitron), and all the time I hear Draugr saying "Qiilan us dilon!" Its almost like they are trying to talk to me.

In another game, I had a character named Delan. I must have forgotten that one of the towns was named Delan.
