Video Game Kids Names?

[The Procrastinated End]

My name is Steven too, I honestly thing it's a terrible sounding name. It's the N at the end I think.
Oh it's not just the fact that I was named after a soap opera character that bothers me, it's that anyone who is willing to disregard any thought for how their kids might feel and just go "HURP DURP I LIKE THIS SO MY KID WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS CHOICE THAT CAN MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR ALL OF ETERNITY" is a selfish asshole. I can guarantee you that anyone blatently named after a video game character like Sephiroth will get their ass beaten throughout highschool, mocked endlessly on a level higher then that of anyone else in their group, and then comes the shame of knowing your parents didn't care enough to actually think of a name for you, nor did they care enough to think about what would happen. Oh and there's the fact that the kid might not even like video games and will probably grow to resent them if he/she ends up having a terrible name because of them.

You can just ask people to call you Steve.
And every parent does that. They don't say 'what name will make our child get beaten up less,' but go with what name they like. Now I'm not saying call your kid some outlandish name but call your kid whatever you want because they kinda don't deserve that consideration since they're going to be leaching off you for the next 18 or so years.

This seems like a great plan for getting your child picked on in school. Do you hate your future kids or something?

How is possibly naming my child based on an 80s or 90s video game character going to get them picked on? Most young kids only know the new franchises. On top of that Zelda is a very pretty name and has nothing wrong with it.

 

[Arisato-kun]

I don't know about you but my son will be named Isaac, in honor of this badass.

It seems we have the same train of thought good sir.

Indeed. Hopefully our sons will both master Psynergy.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Male: Wander Freeman Smith
Female: Jade Freeman Smith

Gotta have Freeman in there...its just too epic. And Shadow of the Colossus and Beyond Good and Evil are both classics, but not so classic that everyone will know they're video game names, like Mario.

Also, how sick would it be to have a son named Wander?

 

[Maibus]

I don't know about you but my son will be named Isaac, in honor of this badass.

You would name your son after a chick with a dude's name? I'd name mine with some kind of Mandalorian word.

 

[Freedomario]

i would honestly be weirded out if i was named after a video game character.

try to name him/her of a video game character that most likely wont be known of his/her generation, so he may not be made fun of at school and such.

Lets face it Video game characters have crappy names 90% of the time any way, and if anyone at school figures out you were named after one you would get picked on until you were out of college, hell I'm a nerd and if I figured out someones name was seporoth I would make fun of them. If you really want to name something in honor of a game name your pet.

Dont pay attention to LordNue, as long as it does not sound off or stupid, go for it.

I say "Guybrush"

[Lolth17]

You do know your wife is going to end up naming your kid right? So much of this is totally pointless

OT: I like Leon for a boy, Ada for a girl

I'm guessing you've never played the greatest handheld RPG of all time. Am I right?

 

[Colonel Alzheimer's]

Heavy Smith
Medic Smith
Sniper Smith
Demoman Smith
Soldier Smith
Scout Smith
Pyro Smith
Engineer Smith
Spy Smith

Choose wisely.

 

[The Warden]

Name him Alistair.

 

[Wedlock49]

I will give you all my last name so if you want to suggest full names (First Middle Last) that would be killer.

My last name is Smith...sadly I am not kidding.

Maybe you should take her name?

Or you could be really out there and change your childs last name to something other than yours as far as I'm aware that's perfectly legal.

 

[Julianking93]

I've mostly thought of girls names, so that's really all I can provide but I'm not revealing them as I want them for my child and my child only! You can't have them! Get away!

<__>

 

[Julianking93]

2) Azure (based off of Azura, the daedra goddess) probably the most legit name I've come up with

You know that's a colour right?

 

[Sacman]

if it's a girl name her Bridget.
if it's a boy name him Bridget.
But in all seriousness I don't think video games are the best place to look for names, Though I've always been fond of Alyx for a girl and Gordon for a boy...

 

[LadyRhian]

Jill
Chris
Leon
Wesker
Barry
Arthas
Uther
Goku
Gohan
Kane
You can do John and say you named him after Master Chief

Edit:
Kerrigan
Duran

Um, you don't want to name your kid Goku or Gohan if they are ever going to get near Japan. Goku means "rice" and Gohan means "meal". Likewise, Bulma is "Buruma" in the original japanese and means "bloomers" or "Underwear".

I'll make a bid for Viconia for a girl. Gil or Warrick for a boy (What, you've never played a CSI game?).

 

[squidbuddy99]

Smith, eh? Let me think...

Shepard.

That is all.
