I've always allowed for a few factors in Fake SINs.  If they had the time, money and will to either have it made, loads of time to look through the selection (basically window shopping a SIN), or make a "something like this" request they can pretty much get whatever they're after.  If they're in a bit of a hurry or skimping on cash I grab the nearest phone book and randomly select,  If they have nearly zero spare time and are taking whatever they can afford, I come up with some insane name usually blending the most outlandish names I've heard on TV recently (Well, Mr. Kanye Swift, it seems you have no warrants for your arrest....).

One thing my group strives for is that all their fake SINs have the same initials and they prefer that they all have the same fake first name (oft times their character's real first name).  Nothing blows a cover faster than answering to "Hey, Frank!" when you've just announced you name is Morty or checking into a hotel where your target is staying and you luggage monogram is wrong.

The rating of a Fake SIN doesn't really reflect on the name given because, regardless of the level, if someone checks and finds out your SIN is fake, then it's not a Fake SIN anymore, it's a burned Fake SIN.

Anyway, it's not a matter of "Street trash have rating 1 Fake SINs" so much as "no one has a rating 1 Fake SIN because it spontaneously combusts the first time anyone lays eyes on it."

Ed Greenwood = Pervert Santa. He grabbed Salvatore's ass. He's my hero.

Now Salvatore's <i>sons...</i> :3 *cough*

I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near naming things ever. They'll walk away with the weirdest ass names ever. Just take the real life stuff I've named: My goldfish is the only one with a somewhat normal name (Salem), my cat's Galahad, the bearded dragon's Falthazur, my old Betta was Malice, I used to have a tank full of Neons before I moved all named after the Great Old Ones, my laptop is Gozirra (it's a 17"), the old one was Skankzilla or Skankazoid or something (it was evil), my iPod is Aoide... The closest thing to NORMAL I'd probably use is video game characters (Harry and Heather Mason, Henry Townshend, Walter Sullivan, Claudia Wolf, Dahlia and Alessa Gillespie, Yuri Hyuga, Alice Elliot, Albert Simon...).

[FastJack]

See, now I'm perfectly normal. I don't have any pets (apartment living), so I just name my electronics. The PC is Galadriel, the laptop is Arwen, my smartphone is Éowyn, my iPod is Goldberry, various flash drives named Frodo, Bilbo, Samwise. Oh, and my Xbox is 'The Shire'.

What?

I think if I started going into book characters I'd get hit with one. XD Dad knows firsthand how rabid of a Raistlin Majere fangirl I am. I have borrowed Dalamar and Laurana for names before though.

I guess a R1 SIN could also be a vehicle for Edge rolls.  Only thing better than being pretty or lucky is being both.

I like to use names from this list. http://incompetech.com/gallimaufry/mstnames.html

[KarmaInferno]

Tom Cruise.

Because my character appears to be Tom Cruise.

I've also used John Lynch.

[Katerchen]

I like names from old movies, specially if the character has an interest knowledge skill like old movies or movies of the 20th century.

That doesn't mean names like Indiana Jones. More like:

Neil McCauley (movie: Heat)
Vincent Hanna (also Heat)
Michael Faraday (movie: arlington road)
Dean Keaton (movie: The Usual Suspects)
Roger O. Thornhill (movie: North by Northwest)

One name, and one name alone is sufficient.........McLovin

[Chaotic Insane]

Code's SINs are Vaklav Havlik (one of the weapon demo dudes for Vlad The Impaler on Deadliest Warrior). I intended that to technically be his real name and the fake sin more of a fake American citizenship and all that since he's an illegal. Its not like he ever goes by anything other than Coderizon ANYWAY.

Then there's Kazimir Hyuga (Kazimir is the name of a horse for an art based play-by-post if you will of mine, Hyuga is the last name of the main character in Shadow Hearts)

And Sanem Aylin (Both horses again. XD For HARPG again. I breed Russian horses on there, so why not?)

[Usda Beph]

Getting Usda his first "IN GAME" fake SIN. Going to have the name "Armon Hammier"

[Devil]

I make up my own. I try to make them normal names that don't stand out too much, but not so average as to arouse suspicion. This way the name is not very memorable, but is highly believable.
