solrocknroll Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yes, though probably not specifically based on the fact that they're characters and moreso because I like the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saisymbolic Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) lol I cross the line when it comes to certain names. Like, the best I can do is name my child a normal name, but the name is based off a character in a series. For example, if I have a child one day and it is a boy, I'm going to name him Johnathan (after Johnathan Joestar) and, if I have a girl, I'm going to name her Jolyne (after Jolyne Cujo, again from JoJo). Of course, I would never tell them they were named specifically after fictional characters, but the names are normal enough that the origin is irrelevant.

eclipse Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Pfft, video games name their characters after MY kids! Probably not, though. I want my children to develop their own tastes and being "that video game kid" isn't gonna help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezzy Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 My children are named Leo and Est (Esther). I did not name them after Fire Emblem characters, it's just a happy coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Karnage Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I thought of Cecilia, but I'm unsure if it's a good idea to name a kid after a game character a feminine version of the name Cecil we'll see if this becomes a thing with the kids the millennials end up naming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Totally. Though my theoretical wife would have to agree upon calling our son "Owain" or "Link". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth 64 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If I gained a son in the future, I'll named it Roy for the 1st son, Ike for the 2nd son, Chrom for the 3rd son, etc. and/or gained a daughter, I'll probably named it Caeda from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the 1st daughter, Daisy from the Mario series for the 2nd daughter, Lucina for the 3rd daughter, etc. (I'm still planning out looking for more incase if I gained more children incase if I get married in the future.)

Specta Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 as long as it's not obvious, I don't see the problem with it. it's the same rule as any other pop culture naming like, naming your kid 'NARUTO' is gonna be blatant that you named your kid after naruto and the kid's gotta live with that, but naming your kid 'james' because you're a big ol' team rocket fan is not gonna be a problem my firstborn, personally, is going to be named sesshomaru belf sephiroth if it's a boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Any common-enough name is a video game name if you try hard enough! (i don't count the really awful modern names/mangled spellings of common names) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
