 [[Naming]] provides players with a small amount of [[Creative Control]] in that they get a [[Freedom of Choice]] for what game elements such as [[Abstract Player Constructs]], [[Avatars]], [[Characters]], [[Territories]], and [[Units]] should be called.

-With the exception of [[Handles]] this provides a focus for players to have [[Identification]] and [[Emotional Attachment]] to the gameplay. Since [[Naming]] actions rarely affects the evaluation of gameplay events, these actions are [[Extra-Game Consequences]] and when done during set-up phases examples of [[Initial Personalization]].

 For [[Avatars]], [[Naming]] creates a minimal level of [[Avatar Personalization]] while for [[Characters]] it leads to what is probably the smallest amount of input from players to be able to claim that the [[Characters]] are [[Player-Created Characters]].

 The [[Civilization_(video_game)_series|Civilization series]] proposed names for players' cities based on the civilization they are playing, but this can be changes to suit the players' whims. The [[Europa Universalis series]] and [[Hearts of Iron series]] lets players change the name of provinces they have conquered or colonized which in these case can ensure ''thematic'' rather than ''historic'' accuracy. These two series also allows the renaming of leaders and armies.
