5423416 thisguygetsit.jpg I find it makes it harder to connect with a character because instead of a relatable guy with a personality I usually get either a blank figure with no emotions or a guy that makes bizarre decisions based on what the author thought was funny. That and the sheer clunkiness of the character being called "Anon" will always drag me out of the story* every time someone refers to him by name. Trying to make it so I can insert myself into that character just makes it harder for me to do so.

One that has been asked many times and one that I have planed for a long time. Since you guys are the readers you should decide what path to take.
5587629 To be honest I'm a bit disappointing to hear that. But I guess it is kinda a lot to ask for, maybe for every chapter in "Defying god" at least?
5587642 I'm up for suggestions. Anything you want me to consider when I bang up a name for the man? A real one or a fantasy one? Or something more pony like? Tell me and I can give you some suggestions.

I was about to do middle names as a bonus but using/finding/confirming real names is harder than I thought. Have fun choosing, or make another Poll.
I have waited so long for this! Lorin is back!
But I wanted to know more of Celestias reaction!
Aren't you forgetting something?
What?
What?
Main story, duh. We want to see Anon come back. It's been sooooo long. Also I agree with wanting to see what Celestia will do.
Yeah, that'll e awesome, I HOPE. But back to my own fics.
You better.
I hate you, you know.
I do.
We do.
... Since when do I have 2 extra commenters in my comments?
Since now.
Really? I have always been in the back of his head.
...
...
I'm just gonna ignore that.

*The exception is Not the Hero, because in that one Anon is a character with a full personality and isn't meant for the audience to project on. He's also essentially turned the entirety of Equestria into his own masturbatory fantasy where he's the heroic seventh Element and every other bad wish fulfilment cliché you can think of. That's actually why his name is Anon. Unreformed Discord is trying to kill him to fix Equestria so he can break it himself, like in his first appearance. It's great, you should read it.

5587506 Before I vote I want to know something, If he gets a name, will all previous chapters be edited or will they all remain as Anon?
5587531
He will stay anon in the past, but I will mold another name in the chapters to come.

5587636
Just for you man. Although I will need help picking a name for him.

5587653 Kay, Here we go... wait... need a second name too or not?

5587763
dat Hue Dragonslayer XD my sides.
5587768 You can blend the names any way you want. And if none are to your liking just tell me and I'll give another serving.
5587773
I think I'm going to go with the last name Carter. As for the first name I will put up a strawpole.
5587777 Kay, FYI 2nd names are hard!
5587777 Heh, did you know there is a youtuber with the 2nd name "Littlewood"? Calls himself InTheLittleWood on youtube.
5587784
I would think so, one that I can think of is Myles as a middle name.
