Former God of War Director, Stig Asmussen, has revealed that his first name was once accidentally considered as a potential name for the series protagonist before Santa Monica Studio settled for Kratos.
Speaking to Game Informer, Asmussen said that the development team was working with the studio?s marketing department to come up with an attractive name for the character. Several developers submitted a list of potential names, including Asmussen, who put his first name next to his proposed names in order to differentiate his list from the others. The marketing team thought Stig was one of the proposed names and it ended up being shortlisted!
