As a gamer would you actually name your own child after a character from a game you love

no, but then again I wouldn't get kids in the first place because they are fucking horrible and drain your life, your bank account, your free time, your love life, your sanity and your sleep all just to have another little shit on the planet.

>implying I'll have kids

>>714052465 (OP)
Nah I don't intend to have children.

As a person with 2 kids who has been playing video games for over three decades, no it never crossed my mind.

>>714052465 (OP)
Sure but only if it was a normal name. I'm not cursing a kid with a retarded name like Sephiroth.

I wonder if there will be a generation of Malenia/Melina girls

>>714052465 (OP)
Zelda was already a name long before the game was made so it's not like it's an egregious example. Calling your daughter something like Chun-Li or Samus would be worse.

Yes, named my son Leon.

>>714052465 (OP)
Sure why not? They'll be made fun of for being black, short and autistic just like I was anyway so why not give them a fun name? They can always change it if they want.

>>714053045
Sam or Samantha would work for me
also, I like Travis

I named my daughter Elise because of SSX. Not because I especially liked the character, but it always stuck out as a very pretty name.

i am a mexican, and i knew a guy that unironically called his kid "Gohan" back when i was at university. the memory still makes me cringe.

>implying I'll ever even have a girlfriend, let alone kids

>>714053359
It's not all it's cracked up to be anon.

>>714052465 (OP)
I'll name a girl "Paula" if I could.

>>714053045
I would bet Chun-Li has existed as a name its not wildly outlandish. Same with names like Mario or oddly enough Krystal.

>>714053228
Funny, I named my daughter Eloïse for the same reason; its nice to say.

>>714053045
>Calling your daughter something like Chun-Li or Samus would be worse.
As if having a daughter isn't already a concept worthy of shooting yourself in the face for.

Do it for him Anonymous

Why did he have to die?

>>714052465 (OP)
AFTER a character? Not my kid, a dog, maybe. Kids should get to have names of their own, even if someone had it before.

Any woman who would actually want to be with you long-term will run away once she realizes you're never having kids (unless she isn't a total nutcase in which case you'd wanna stay away anyway). So that's sort of a moot point.

He took money from the Moonies, the assasination was not political.

>>714054493
No but they have railguns now. Who needs sexo when you can fling tungsten slugs at hyperspeeds. Grorious Nippon just can't stop winning it seems.

Even ignoring Zelda is a name that already exists, Zelda in of itself isn't that out there of a name. Something like Samus is pushing it but you can get away with Sam.
This however:
>>714054006
Is just child abuse. Then again, Sephiroth kept his name and is living a happy life.

If i have a son im naming him donky kong

If I have a daughter im naming her super metroid

End if discussion

Robin Williams was so ahead of the curve.

idk but bro did khs :c

people do love their jewish book

>>714055452
I guess even when the oppponent's a baby, no one wants to be defeated.

Only if it was a regular name. All the people that named their kids after Game of Thrones characters, will be murdered in their sleep by their children, and no jury on this planet will convict them.

>>714055810
Only the old testament is the jew book.

Yeah my son is named Rimanah.

Life would not allow me to be happy. I am here to suffer.

good goy keep being a little slave faggot :)

I plan on naming my son Mario, it'a a very common name on my country so it's OK. Zelda is also no that uncommon, way before the game came out. I think it's a pretty name, so maybe if I have a lot of daughters, I can name one Zelda. I'm not a big Zelda fan so it's not my top priority

>>714053045
plenty of irish guys are named samus

>>714055335
you now remember all the retards who named their daughters denaeris and khaleesi during the first seasons of GoT only for the character to end up being a crazy genocidal bitch haha

There is a woman at my work named Starfox. Just one word. Her mother is a stripper, or at least she has to have ghetto stripper genes. I'd make barrel roll jokes but since she's black I would probably lose my job.

>>714057398
Kinda of an old-timey name, eh?

>>714057504
it's a fine traditional name

If I was somehow a chad despite being autistic and I happened to marry an autistic Stacy, I'd definitely name my children after the Elden Ring demigods.

Yes. If I had daughters, I already know their first names. All of them first seen in video games.

I know others do the same; media is influential. Lots of girls named Elsa and Khaleesi.

Reading this made me realize I know 4 mario's and I never once even thought about it as the same name as the character or even made a connection to it let alone even considered they might be named after the character.
they are all in their 20's, so I doubt they are, but damn unless its a strange name people really wouldn't make a connection.

>>714052465 (OP)
Is there any proof that Robin Williams was a le ebin based gamer besides the fact that he named his daughter Zelda? (Which is already a real name btw)

>>714059578
theres pictures of him at conventions and shit as well as playing games.
I don't think that's really in question, it was a different time as well anon, no one got any benefit from saying they played video games, people only thought worse of them.

Yes, but I would select a name that is both sophisticated enough to show off my superior taste, but also subtle enough that only fellow intellects would be able to appreciate it. I am not the kind of moron who names their kid something mainstream like "Dovakiin". No, instead something classy, manly... Geralt perhaps. Most of you won't even get this reference, and that's the way I like it.

>>714053626
My chink friend's Chinese name is Chun-Lin he a dude tho

>>714052465 (OP)
yes I will name my daughter rydia

naming your kid after a video game or even other obvious media references just seems like you're setting them up for a rough childhood just to soothe your autism.

I will not name my children
When they turn 6 they can choose their own name after they choose their gender

>>714059865
>And here we have little Geralt of Rivia Gonzalez.

>>714060117
On the /co/ side of things I'm still thinking of naming my hypothetical daughter after this main character. Beautiful film and name. Maybe it's not too obvious so it's okay. The pronunciation will probably throw off everyone her whole life though.

You gotta admit the current top names kinda suck.

>>714059578
He talked about playing games. He was a qwarky guy
