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.

Why not Nala? She's a lion.

This. Of all the namesakes...looking at the social security databases and seeing game of thrones names is worse however.

I look at name lists for things not to name my kids.

 

[Dinjooh]

Damn...that is kind of racist >.>

How so?

If I called my kid that, he'd get the inevitable question: why on earth are you called that, and the answer would be tekken. People would then proceed to stop talking.

 

[:Motorbass]

Please do not name your kid after an anime or videogame character.

So you would avoid all names that were ever used in video games? What if you pick a name and the next big AAA game's protagonist has this exact name?

 

[kewlmyc]

Mario is a pretty standard name.

Talking about the guy who named his kid freaking Dovahkiin.

 

[Death Metalist]

Jack or John

 

[Atouba]

Blue (or Red)

 

[Alista]

Naming your kid after a computer game character is just mental.

Especially when you can call him Groot.

 

[jtenma]

Please don't name your kid after a videogame character, unless it's already a normal name like Spencer.

Can i get some of that haterade?

 

[Storm Kyleis]

"The Baby."

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Congratulations, having one myself any day now.

Computer game names are hard to pull off. You like Halo so maybe just John then you can add the 117 bit yourself when your other half isn't listening.

 

[Eusis]

Mario is a pretty standard name.

Despite listing it I can imagine Mario being problematic depending on ethnicity, and it's so highly visible that it's probably damned if you do, damned if you don't. Either you're not remotely Italian and have the name Mario, or you are and that just makes it worse dealing with other kids growing up. That IS an advantage for names like John, though that's kind of an extreme example because that's so common that we have that as a placeholder name.

 

[Mr Feliciano]

Cloud or Sephiroth?

 

[derfybzh]

Joel at least it's a good name

 

[RagingAvatar]

Blue (or Red)

Still waiting at the hospital.. This made me lose it. Hahaha. Amazing
