Naming characters in Among Us is one of the funnest aspects of the game. Names can be a great way for players to make their friends laugh, or a way to confuse other players and even fly under the radar. However, a suspicious – or sus – name can be a surefire way to get ejected. So, what are some of the least sus names in Among Us now?
Player perceptions regarding sus names in Among Us have changed with the game. When Among Us first rose in popularity last year, something as simple as naming a character “Honest Abe” or “Trusty Bob” could inspire trustworthiness. However, that’s not really the case anymore. Most players will see this naming convention as a ruse, and it might actually backfire – making other crewmates more suspicious of someone with “Honest” or “Trusty” in their name.
Naming a crewmate in Among Us after a famous character or celebrity is also common, but even naming them after a well-liked celebrity won’t necessarily make a player seem less suspicious to others. Naming crewmates after characters from a favorite TV or movie is fun for role-playing in Among Us, but it’s also a great way to stand out from the crowd. So, naming a character after a recognizable person – whether real or fictional – isn’t a great way to appear non-sus.
Names That Won’t Appear Sus In Among Us
The best and least sus names in Among Us are ones that don’t stand out at all. Choosing a common and ordinary name is a great way to stay under the radar. It usually won’t make that character seem suspicious to others, and it could even get them overlooked by an Impostor, who’s more likely to focus on someone who stands out. Picking a simple, common name is key.
Of course, what passes for a common name will vary by region. So while names like “Bob” or “Sue” won’t usually stand out on North American servers, they might draw more attention when playing on one of the international ones. And, if nothing else, players can always use their real name. Chances are, a real name won’t seem suspicious – especially if it’s fairly common.
As a social deduction game, Among Us requires players to be clever and even lie. Choosing a name that won’t appear sus is key, especially if players don’t want to be ejected by suspicious crewmates or draw the attention of the Impostor by choosing an eye-catching name. This is why common names, or even a player’s real name, is the best way to appear non-sus in Among Us.
