I REALLY don't like people giving their kids silly names, that's messed up to me. Like that poor kid that is called "Facebook", not to mention "Hashtag"... HASHTAG! Even Aragorn seems kinda cruel, and that has become a pretty popular name... Kids can be really evil about such things, I imagine rough school years... I mean shit, my name is extremely mundane compared to those but I STILL got shit for it!
I suspect naming traditions are quite diferent in my country from what they are in the US, so they might seem a bit strange... For my dauther I really like Heather or Revy, but a friend said that those are guy names (which is not true where I come from!). I'm not sure those are in games though...
Adam is in a game, Deus Ex: HR! I like that name for a boy, maybe I'd call him Adam.
Also, so that I hopefully don't end up in jail, I do in NO way condone violence and I have no intentions of ever acting upon the previous statement. It was only said as a feeble atempt at dark humor, something I am fully aware that I do extremely poorly as I am at heart a warm and fuzzy person that doesn't draw much enjoyment from Transformers because it is, and I quote, "too violent".
... Tina is a damn fine name! I'd call my daugther Tina...

OMFG I have to thank you for reminding me of Lucian! I wouldn't name my kid that personally, but he's an awesome character and it made me realise how much I miss playing Oblivion when it was new and fresh to me...Sir Thomas Sean Connery said:
As much as I love Tina, if you called your kids that I'm afraid I'd have to mercykill your kids and then remove you from the world before you could do any more harm!Jenny Jones said:

WTF Shepard or OMG Shepard from Mass effect
I do like the name Ellie,Liara
Male Wise I do not know.
Ash from pokemon? Dom from Gears? Travis from No More Heroes?
Does Vegeta count?
Captha : That's Right
Vegeta is always right

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!
