This. I'll go with "Max", the default name for the protagonist of the Shining Force, and not tell anyone that that was the source.Lilani said:
...Although I will admit that Myst opened up the possibility of "Atrus". It's almost normal... almost...
Uh, Zidane is a real nameLilani said:
I've only ever seen it used as a last name, in real life, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zidane_(name)

I do have to suppose he should be thanking you for sparing him from becoming.... that *shudders* thing.TizzytheTormentor said:
Although I do question the use of an otherwise perfectly good toaster.
Heh, I always figured you were like me and didn't like kids at all... o3oxmbts said:
OT: Even though I don't like kids, I like naming things, so I have thought of this before... and I really don't want a son... kids are cruel and disturbing creatures and the extra aggression that comes along with a boy would probably be too much for me... but for a game related name... I'd probably go with something normal like Jamie or David... because guys names in video games are either super macho or pretty normal and boring... and I'd prefer to go with the latter...<.<
for a girl though, I like quite a few... mostly Lain, for obvious reasons, Felicia, Alice... just off the top of my head...
I'm going to get seriously meta and name my child "protagonist" because I like a lot of nameless protagonists. Plus, I'd be teaching him/her a lesson because we are all the protagonists of our own lives
Edit: I would also consider "FagBalls" and "TwattyCake" if anyone understands my old ZP reference
Double edit: I finally thought of good one I could use, Ness from Earthbound. I like the sound of it and the character it was based on (who coincidentally could be a nameless protagonist). It's little unusual but the name obviously sounded American to the Japanese people who made the game so there's that

Easy way out: choose a common name I.e Nathan, Marcus, Joel, Sam, Max etc. That way no one could definitively prove I was a horrible parent.
I don't have anything for females. Maybe Lufia as well, it's really pretty. But if it were a boy... Adol, from the Ys series. A man who ventures through the world and saves many places from disaster and calamity, heck yeah that's what I'd go with!
Exactly. It's still a name that the kid would have to stop and explain every time they say it, and frequently correct people on the spelling and pronunciation. It's nothing but a bother. If you want something to brand with an unusual name because you think it's a cool character or name, get a dog.ScrabbitRabbit said:Uh, Zidane is a real nameLilani said:
Yeah, the primary antagonist from Divinity II is named Damien, so you're sweet.hazabaza1 said:
In regards to the topic, I'd have to say that for a boy, I'd go... I actually have no idea about boys names. I'll have to get back to you on that one.
For a girl's name, I'd go Selencia. You can totally choose names of video game characters that you named yourself, right? Right? Also, Daenerys is quite a pretty name, if a little (READ: very) exotic.
It was a coincidence. I was talking about the Dark Brotherhood on another forum so Lucien Lachance popped into my mind. I do think it is a funny coincidence though.krazykidd said:

Why the fuck do people feel the need to paint targets on their kids in this manner? I seem to remember this one couple wanting to name their baby Dovahkiin about a year or so back, RIGHT HERE. That child is going to end up on suicide watch at some point.
I wouldn't even give my pets a weird name. I agree with you on naming a kid Cloud or Zidane, though you could kind of squeeze naming the kid after Alucard by if you used his real name, Adrian (which is also my half brothers name), assuming you mean the Castlevania Alucard anyway, if you mean Hellsing then yeah, that'd be a rough as hell name to live with. If someone is dead set on giving thier child an unusual name, for the love of God show the kid at least a sliver of mercy and only use it as their middle name.Lilani said:Exactly.

OT: While I highly doubt I'll ever have children of my own, I've been fond of the name Eve ever since I played Parasite Eve, I just think it's a pretty name and thankfully it's not that uncommon either, so provided the childs mom was ok with the name, I'd like the name Eve for a daughter. If I had a son, I'd probably go for Gabriel, and yeah, I'd be naming the kid after the guy who is my avatar, but hey, at least it's a normal name.
If I hated my hypothetical children enough to do something as embarrassing as naming them after a video game character ( and I would!)
I would go with
Gabriel after Gabriel Logan from Syphon Filter. One I just like the name, and two Gabe was a pretty good guy.
Rachel after Rachel Shepard (Mass Effect) and...well again i like the name and I really like the character.
