"Daddy, did you name me after that cool character from those blaxploitation movies?" "No son, I named you after an evil sorcerer from a video game." "I'll just tell the other kids it was from the movies."

Since most of them are like "Simon" or "Trevor," that'd be pretty boring. Belmont would be okay because it sounds so normal but is actually as about metal as game reference names come.

Hell, a few years ago there was a thread about some scumbag parents that went to court over getting child custody back. The guy dressed like a brownshirt/Hitler and the mother dressed as some Nazi nurse. Their kids were all named after top leaders of the Reich, one of the kids was Adolf Hitler *whatever their last name was*. Kids got taken away and the state renamed them Ah, here's the wonderful shitstains of humanity http://news.sky.com/story/dad-wears-nazi-uniform-for-child-custody-case-10444000 SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Aug 20, 2016 |

Hodgepodge posted:Since we're doing name chat, I always love to share this one: my kid's mother and I were going over baby names. I suggested "Gideon." There are a surprising number* of couples who play Magic the Gathering and name their kids after Planeswalkers, essentially comic-book style heros in the game's lore. There is at least one Gideon out there named after Gideon Jura on the game. (*really, you could argue anything greater than zero would be surprising. The fact the more popular ones are "real" names probably has a lot to do with it.) Chuu fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Aug 20, 2016 |

There is at least one Gideon out there named after Gideon Jura on the game. If we're being honest, mine is close. I played a lot of Magic back then. I had kind of liked the name before that point, though. Of course, the real answer is retroactively

I'm going to name my kid USPOL and get him a forum account. He's going to choose the most pedantic poo poo to argue with fishmech about and permanently derail this thread forever. Maybe then you fuckers will quit talking about all the cute baby names for the kids you're never going to have.

I don't mind people making up names/spellings so much, as long as I can pronounce it. Like kids names "Jase" pronounced "Chase" or "Lyndse" pronounced "Lindsay." That's a kid who's going to spend the rest of their life saying, "actually, it's pronounced _____"

But then they'd have to go "it's spelt like Lindsey but in a dumber way"

You know what's better then namechat? People bitching about the topic of conversation, that's so much more interesting to read. "I hate this topic bit can't be assed to try to come up with something new, let me be an annoying twat in the hopes someone else will become sufficiently sick of my whining to come up with a new topic"

Next youll be telling me the story of "Dawon" and "Da'adawon" isnt real either  As far as names i always thought it was easy: Boys after badass angels (Gabriel, Uriel) and girls after classic greek stories (Andromeda, Phersphone)
