It practically compels you to read The Divine Comedy. Indeed, I actually have it, but other issues have prevented me from getting to read it.Commissar Sae said:

I voted for the crusader, since I respect characters who know that they've been thinking with the wrong head (or whatever variation thereof 
). What can I say? I'm a sucker for humility.
Although nothing can beat Dante and Randall's dialogue on the political machinations of Star Wars.

Seconded. Grand Master Dante is easily one of the most bad ass Space Marines ever to exist. However, I regret to inform you that mentioning the Grand Master in such a fashion is heretical and I must now purge your from this existance. In the name of the Emperor, be cleansed...Nouw said:You all forget the one TRUE Dante. The Oldest Living Space Marine that leads the Emperor's VAMPIRE MARINES!
Adding an option would be nice... but like no one knows him so an other? If you don't want to then I refuse to vote.

This gets my vote. Dante Alighieri is probably my favorite person. He inspired my writing and his 'Vita Nuova' is my favorite book.Commissar Sae said:
Dante Hicks is awesome, too, though. The other ones...not so much (especially not Devil May Cry Dante).
They have the same name as me - that's awesome.
Normally I would go with the logical conclusion, but I was only vaguely aware of the Divine Comedy and only just played DMC this week for my first time, having ignored the franchise for many years. The only Dante I've had proper exposure to is Mr. Hicks. And as awesome as he is, he doesn't stir a desire to name my child in his honour. I just like the name, and have for several years. Even if not for a first name, it would make a nice middle name. Besides, I love Jansen from Lost Odyssey (oh, now there's a man that stirs a fangirl frenzy!), but his actual name isn't one that resonates with me.Miew said:
Dante is an awesome name in my opinion. Although I associate it more with the poet than a demon hunter.
Woot Alucard. I can imagine someone taking it a step further with an erotic fan fiction between Dante and Alucard...who writes that stuff anyway?Akira Fumi said:Dante is probably subject to a lot of fan fiction of the erotic variety now that he has Nero to touc- hang around with. Because of this, I don't think he's had any really big impact. He dresses sort of nice though, but he reminds me a lot of Alucard from Hellsing, someone several times more badass in comparison.
I've got to agree, the Divina Comedia is pretty awesome. But it wouldn't be as much fun for me if it hadn't explanations of the symbolism after each chapter, I've got to admit that.Commissar Sae said:
I'll go with Dante from DMC, asskicking character. Dante is a good name also, I would consider naming my son Dante.
