Try to pick a decent name for yourself. Your name is part of your identity, and it will influence how your corpmates think of you. In Eve Online, most corporations make use of voice communication during fleet operations, and will make their voice server available for casual chatter also. You will sometimes need to identify yourself with your name while issuing orders or making reports on voice comms. Your name will be used by fleetmates to give you intel or orders.
