Robin Williams did.
Zelda is a great name as well.
Anyway...Roy Campbell.
I just love that name.
So American, so strong, so badass.

How about Roy Mustang
The idea isn't inherently bad... you should probably just go for a name that actually is a normal name; naming a son Nathan for example isn't bad at all if you and your loved one are both big into Uncharted for example, or Mario for, uhh, Mario, though something like Cloud would be dumb as hell, nevermind Shulk or Asbel (what parent would even pick that one?) or whatever.
Anyways, I guess I sorta gave my opinion there (go with a real name that won't be too blatantly esoteric), and while I think Lucas would've worked great there's also, say, David or John/Jack if you want to go with Metal Gear (or Halo in the case of John) while not being very obvious about it at all.

Myself and a flatmate once agreed that if we had kids in our respective relationships, that I'd name mine Megatron, he'd name his Optimus Prime and then we'd make them to fight each other.

Alph. He looks a bit like a baby.
With regards to naming your child after a videohame character, I think that it's ultimately the parents' decision, but one should be careful not to take it too far. I'm told that some Japanese kids have been named Pikachu... And that's just weird.

Please dont be that cruel to your son. Give him a "normal" name and leave your gaming hobby where it belongs - on your screen.
John would make it a sort of funny twist then on the MGS reference.
Plenty of decent names from games you can actually give to a real human being, it's not about keeping it apart but being smart about it. Kind of like why naming a kid Clark would be reasonably smart, while Kal-El is just crazy.Please dont be that cruel to your son.

Not exactly videogame, but I convinced the misses to name our boy Aslan.
Because lions and shit. And if we ever get a girl she's gonna be named Ellie.
If you don't mind me asking OP, what's your last name? In this online world, the whole look of your name is also quite important.

don't name your kid after a game character OP, but if you must, you have:
Link, Roy, Hal (Otacon's name and the company behind Smash, that's an x2 combo right there), Kirby is also a usable name and of course you can't go wrong with Waluigi.
