Hmmm... I wonder if you could have at least won, like, a free copy of Skyrim for naming your kid Todd Howard [Last Name].

I wouldn't mind being called Dovahkiin, as long as I got to play all those lovely games too.

Also, is bullying still a major issue? I'm pretty sure you only get isolated incidents of physical bullying nowadays, and I live in south east London! it can be pretty rough.
Sad to say, but yes.

My (step) daughter knew this girl. They would hang out and play when she was visiting her father. Very tragic and I just really don't know what else to say about it.

OT: Kids are going to bully for any reason, the name won't matter.
I'm sorry your daughters friend had to go through that shit, and the fact that your daughter has to live with it.

I was actually referring to physical bullying, like sticking heads down toilets and rubbing faces in dirt, it seems unheard of these days.

I guess we just have to hope Dovahkiin can be mentally strong enough to resist any bullying he might receive.

He can just shout them away, right?

FOOS-ROH!
My thoughts exactly. Imagine how the parents will regret that name when they can't sleep because of little Dovahkiin crying all night and improving his Thu'um.
One night...


"Little Dovahkiin! Bedtime!"

Dovahkiin turns.

"FUS ROH DAH!"

Goes back to playing Skyrim.

....

Oh, the things to do!


"Hey! Nerd! Gimme your lunch money!"

"FUS ROH DAH"

"Nom nom nom"

.....

"Quick! Arrest him!"

"YOL TOOR SHUL"

"SHIIIIIIIIIIIT"

......

"Hey! This little prick stole our bike! Get him!"



"Vigilance! ATTACK!"

....

For, little Dovahkiin must have a dog named Vigilance. A war dog.


And he can have a talking one named Barbas.


Now excuse me while I go change my name.

Yeah, the bullying as a kid and the weird looks whenever he does anything official (job appliactions, legal documents, passport control, bank accounts, etc.) for the rest of his life is really gonna be a whale of a time.

Why make his first name Dovahkiin?
It was just to name the kid it. Not necessarily the first name. You could have made any of his middle names it..

But now, he is Dovahkiin.
Thanks alot, mom and dad.
im going to guess he has a middle name and will go by that.

He's more than likely gonna be known as Tom anyway seeing as Dovahkiin is just Dragonborn. It's like a title like Doctor or something, think of it that way and it's awesome!

I would agree that this is mean.... But honestly, how many bullies will actually know the dragon name for the main character in Skyrim in 5 years?

My middle name was almost Dunottar so im actually backing these parents up. Still better than those white supremacists who named their kinds "white power" and "hitler".

And hell being bullied happens to kids with normal names too, so really whatever.

I'll swap him! My name is Tom, he can have it.

Really, who the fuck named me Thomas?
Yes, it's pronounced T-om-ass
Not Th-om-ass.

Now, rename me Dovahkiin, or I will shout you off my balcony!

Guys. Guys. This can be used for his advantage.

"Dad, why did you call me Dovahkiin?"
"Son, we named you after a brave hero. I learnt this story from a game around 5 years ago. He started from humble beginnings, in the long lost land of Skyrim. And, it was only near his death, that he realized his own fate..."

Dad then tell him the story of Skyrim, Happy End included. Little Dovah goes to school.
"Dovahkiin? What sort of name is that?"
"It means "Dragonborn". It was the name of a great hero!" Dovah tells enquirer the epic story of the Dragonborn.

Hell, any name can be used by kids to make fun of other kids. And if not their names, the things they say or do. It would happen anyway. Dovah's just gotta pull through it. We all have to.

I agree.

For the talent show he can sing the Skyrim theme, Tobuscus' Literal Trailer and do a play about him shouting things off cliffs!

Wait, what is with the bully posts? Why would he be bullied?

By the time he gets to kindergarden, 4-5 years will have passed. 4-5 year olds don't play Skyrim and they'll think it's a Serbian name or something. "Dovahkiin" is exotic, but it isn't something like naming your kid "Megatron" or "Darth Vader".

When he gets to Elementary school, kids still won't be playing Skyrim. I doubt people in grades 2-6 would play an old RPG they'll probably never have heard of.

When he gets to Highschool, Skyrim will be so far behind him that only a few hardcore RPG enthusiasts/nerds will give him a wink or a nudge and talk about how cool it is. While everyone else just knows him as "That kid who sounds like he's from Serbia". I don't see any of the logic you guys are presenting, he's not going to be bullied at all.


Furthermore, people criticizing the parents think they're doing this for the free swag. They're not, they're probably doing it because they're diehard fans.

It's no different than having a video game themed wedding or investing geek culture into any other part of your life. Although this is a bit extreme.
I don't think the bullying is important. The reasoning behind the name and the attitude of his parents is a worse problem.

Hope you look forward to all the awkward looks and mispronunciations kid! Be glad mommy and daddy got their games! Honestly, were they not thinking of what this might mean for the child? I mean hell, having a name like that is just asking for trouble, not to mention how is the kid going to feel knowing that he was "named so mommy and daddy could have free games?" I sincerely hope, for the kids sake, they at least refer to him by his middle name.

Why hello there little Dovahkiin. I am sure you will slay many dragons when you grow up. And be quite the noisy baby no doubt. HA HA HA!

In all serious though, they probably should have made that his middle name. I guess he could still go by Tom though if he wants.

Still, while Dovahkiin is no doubt an odd name, it isn't exactly 'lame'. I mean, it does sound pretty exotic and cool. Will be hard as hell for the poor kid learning to say and spell it though.
