Geno · The Axolotl Sympathist

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

Dimentio.

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.

Almaz · Mister I

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

Kii · RAPEFACE BUTLER MODE

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

Shrowser · lolz

I'm naming my kid Mama Luigi. No exceptions.

Strong Bad · The Double Duece!

Francis, Bluminere, Francine, etc.

Anyway, someone did name there kid Ganon, but the wife thought he was talking about Rich Ganon.

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.
