I was just thinking... If I ever had kids, and I plan not to, what would be names based on game characters that aren't too weird...

Like, not normal names, but not ones that would be easily distinguished?

I don't plan on having kids/naming after game characters, but I think it's an interesting concept to discuss.

Mario, Link, Yoshi, Pit, Kirby, Meta Knight, Red, Geno, Bowser, and Donkey Kong are not bad names...
Samus sounds pretty cool

Well, if I call my child "Donkey Kong" don't you think that's a little... insane? And Bowser sounds like a dog name. Although Geno, Red, and Link, are fine. Mario's already a name, so it's not really recognizable. And since my last name is Italian, it would fit almost too well.

I actualy Talked about Naming My son Godot (PW3 FTW) with my Girlfriend (we plan to have children if we get married) But I would Name My First Born Son something different.

If we have a daughter I would want to name her Charlotte, after the Samurai Showdown Character... mainly.

Actually, if I ever had a daughter (if I ever got past not having kids), I'd name her Vivian after the character from TTYD...

I would name mine after one of the Koopalings if it were male (Lemmy, Iggy, Morton, or Roy...Ludwig's wierd and Larry's too average). If it were female...er...I got nothing. Confused

If I had a son - ANDREW RYAN. I'd make him grow a thin mustache, and when he's little help him build Legos into a Mini-Rapture.

If I had a daughter - Meryl (MGS, not the POEKAYMANZ). ... Yeah, that's about it. Hell, my name's Marshall. I would want my daughter to suffer under the same "HOW DOES YEW SPELL DAT!?!" questions that I have to deal with. -__-;;

I know a guy named Geno who was named Geno before SMRPG came out. o___O;

I think naming your kids after game characters that aren't otherwise regular names is stupid.

Like, Mario, okay. Vivian, okay. Meryl, okay. Geno, I guess is okay, because it's supposedly an Italian name.

Then, like... Zelda, for instance... is a real name, but you still wouldn't use it because it hasn't been used for a real person for years and the game is really the only place it's used. It'd be too obvious that you intentionally named your kid after a game character and it sounds really dated on a kid. Mad
Same thing for like, Kirby.

Then, naming your kid Princess Peach/Donkey Kong/Ganondorf etc. is just stupid beyond all reprieve.
www.bigbadbabynames.com Someone apparently DID name their kid Princess Peach... Princess as a first name, Peach as a middle... and it's horrible... x_x;

If I named a child Conan than my family would never forgive me

(They all know I'm insanely into Case Closed)

so I'll resist temptation and name him/her after one of my cousins

I could name my child Jade... although that's more of a girl's name, and the character I'm thinking of is male. D8

Flavio sees nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't name them something stupid like DevilDoom, or Exdeath.

There's a couple food-places named "Geno's" in my city, so Geno isn't that rare of a name.

I might name my son Errol (Error from LoZ2, but altered slightly to be a real name) or Mido (LoZ2 town / LoZ:OoT character). My daughter might be Selan (Lufia 2) or maybe Schala (Chrono Trigger/Cross).

And then there's an indirect route:

Example: Link is a connection. Levi means chains. Link = Levi. Thus, one could name their son as Levi and no one would be the wiser.
