This must be a joke, and it is. But still, someone might still do it, i have seen worse names. Maybe the reward for this "quest" is free name-change for your child or something. 
Bethesda Rewarding Parents That Name Children "Dragonborn"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman

Give him two names or change his name after getting the reward, It is possible in Sweden but I dunno about you country.Atmos Duality said:
I'd just call him "Dave" and say his mother used the Swedish spelling or something if anyone asked.
Not as bad as I thought it would be. Dovahkiin sounds like a reasonable name (as opposed to straight-out Dragonkin, which would be reason enough for the kid getting beaten up every Thursday). Still, naming a kid that just for the sake of a contest? Not all that practical. Doesn't really say much about the parents, either.
Now is it me or this is getting a little extreme ? what kind of PR did they think they've invented?
Further loophole solution; name the child dragonborn and give it a normal middle name like george. Then just call it george. You'd be surprised at how many people actually do this.this isnt my name said:
Erm... I really don't see the problem here.
The cost of changing your child's name is under $200.
If the prize is over, it's a simple matter of math.
If the prize is $15'000, hell, that's an easy $14'800. (The last woman to put her child's name up for auction got $15'000).
This wouldn't take longer than 2 months to rectify, and this is with about 20-30 hours of actual work in those months. Total prize therefore is about triple the national average salary for 2 months, and over 60 times minimum wage if we go per hour.
You don't even need to tell anybody. You can start using the name you're going to change it to from day 1. That is if you're really worried about the "psychological impact" (yes, it deserves quote marks) of being called a slightly more original name.
Especially when many of their classmates are going to end up with weird names anyway. Seriously [http://www.babynames.com/Names/A/], just look at the list of baby names. They're not all James and Jane.
EDIT: This all assumes what you some people are saying is true about them being bullied because of their name, and that there's anything wrong with the name Dovkhiin, and that you have to change it immediately or doom will befall them.
It's not like you named them Hitler (Seriously [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,479904,00.html]), or Aryan Nation. Hell, it's not even as bad as: A, Unknown, Sydney-Harbour Bridge, @ [http://edition.cnn.com/2007/funnynews/08/16/strange.name.reut/index.html], Ladies and Gentlemen (Courtesy of Louis CK [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSf-KQORRk]), Superman(Indian name), Batman(Turkish guy), Kal El (Nicolas Cage's Son), Prometheus (Cenk Uygur's son), etc.

nice i would do this but i don't want a child. besides if the kid really doesn't like his/her name or you don't really want to name them that, just change their name or they will when they are older.
