Terabyte7's Name My Baby Contest! Contest Over!

Seriously, give the kid a name that is timeless. John, Jacob, Simon, whatever. twenty years from now who wants to be named "Dakota" or something that sounds cool for a 9 year old but looks stupid on a resume.

if you must pick something unique, I say:

Garrett Richter - It's a video game name but still a timeless one. It won't keep the kid from getting laid when he turns 16.

Vivec - Cool sounding name, but not really timeless.
 
To be honest, I wasn't even thinking of Star Trek.
[quote name='contej85']so everyone can think he's namesd after Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: TNG, there's a good idea.[/quote]
 
Ian or Rex. Rex is a good strong name, it isnt unusual yet it is unique, it is also Latin for King.
 
[quote name='djkunai']Which just happens to be the name of an up and coming female porn star.

That's very funny because my wife has already mentioned that she liked the name Raven for a boy, but I shot it down because we have a friend that named her daughter Raven.
 
OK, first I'd like to thank everyone who has already submitted names...I never dreamed that I'd get so many responses so quickly. For all the naysayers, I haven't committed myself to naming the child after a videogame character, and my wife will never let me pick something too exotic. This is merely the best source of input I could imagine. Think about it...who better to get ideas for videogame/fantasy/unusual names from than a community of thousands of like-minded fellow gamers? That being said, there are already alot of great possibilities to think about and I look forward to many more great suggestions!

I like that one!

I named my son after a Bruce Willis character.

Son = Korben William from Korben Dallas - 5th Element

If I have another boy in the future, which I hope I do... I'll name him Preston Russell. Preston from Equilibrium and Russell to carry on my middle name.
 
[quote name='MaskedPlague']Marcus Fenix

My wife won't let me name our baby Master Chief, so I quit.[/QUOTE]

SECONDed

Either that or Leon from RE2 or 4.

Then you can name your next kid Wesker
 
Ash (probably from alot of stuff but Evil Dead, which is also a game now, does come to mind)
-Ash Sparrow
-Ash Fenrir
-Ash Featherwood

-Jim (from earthworm jim ;) )
Jim Jameson
Jimmy James
Jim Jack

-Dirk (from that Don Bluth game)
Dirk Harkness
Dirk Fenrir
Dirk Menlow

Well you get the idea
 
Sion Barzahd
Dauragon C. Mikado
Volt Krueger
Kou Leifoh
Dominique Cross
Mugetsu
Echidna
Wong Leung
Kaldea Orchid
Leann Caldwell
PD-4

Or any combination of those.

Did you ever post what the last name will be?

I asked earlier in this thread what his/her last name would be...

...Creepy.
My name is Preston William _______ .

Anywho- I think Gordon is probably the safest bet to be A) video game related B) traditional enough the kid won't be beaten up and C) exotic enough that a lot of people dont have it.
 
Logan

i'm surprised but it looks like no one thought of it yet.....works good as a middle or first name too ;)

(in case you REALLY dont know, Logan is X-Man Wolverines first name)

oh and Remmy

(Gambits first name)

and if you want LeBeau would work for a middle name (just dont use Remmy LeBeau......)
 
Michael Jackson

:lol:

i always found the term porn 'star' amusing. or 'actress'
as if people looked up to them or it took talent

also find the term up & coming amusing since 99.99999999999999% of them dont (or cant find) work past their early 20s.

You misread what I meant.
 
Edgeworth. C'mon say it out loud EDGEWORTH, its a very bad ass name. A name with possible variations and nick-names.

You know you want a little baby edgy running around the house
 
[quote name='andytep']not a videogame name, but i think the name is pretty cool. Silus (pronounced sigh-lus)[/QUOTE]

Silas is a great name. (Silas Mariner).
 
Max Power (aka Homer Simpson)

"Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch!
But you mustn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear,
but when you say it, you mustn't fear!
'Cause his name can be said by anyone!"
 
Personal favorite (probably going to name my kid this some day): Alarik (Unreal Tournament)

Dark Force (Phantasy Star, will be kind of funny if the kid grows up to be a florist)

Cloud Strife (FF7)

If all else fails, go for Chuck Norris.
 
[quote name='wageslave']twenty years from now who wants to be named "Dakota" or something that sounds cool for a 9 year old but looks stupid on a resume.[/QUOTE]

OMG, LOL, I actually have a cousin who named one of there sons Dakota, LOL, Dakota Chance. When I first heard someone say what they named him I thought WTF :roll:

Oh, how about Dalton, a cousin on the other side of the family named their son that. It's not bad I just always think of the movie "Road House".

"The name is........Dalton"
 
Sirius...no seriously...haha...actually no.

"so whats your kids name"
"Sirius"
"yea so what is it?"
"Sirius"
"YES thats why i asked"
"he's Sirius!"
"NO HIS NAME!?"
"i told you 3 times already!'
"Are you serious?"
"no he is"
"seriously? wtf?" *head explodes*
 
Carth (Knights of the Old Republic)

Elegost (more of a middle name to me at least; from Lord of the Rings: Third Age)

Harmon (Killer 7)
 
Simon Belmont - Castlevania
Soma Cruz - Castlevania
Jim Raynor - Starcraft... You can sound completely normal with this one :D
Duke Mensek - Starcraft

Most the others i thought of were already said...
 
Vincent Rittenhouse (FF7)
Vincent Cloud de (FF7)
Raudy James (FFX)
Ezel Babus (FFTA)
Laharl Vulcanus (Disgaea)
Adonis Maximillian (Disgaea)
Ebon Hawk (Star Wars KOTOR)

Or you could go completely old school with Tron Thorne.
 
Do your child a favor, and don't use a video game character as a basis for picking his name. He will have his own life - don't try to live it for him.
 
Sabin (FFVI)
And dont listen to anyone that says not to use a video game character for a name. All names have to come from SOMEWHERE and as long as it is a good name, that's all that matters. Think of all the poor children that were NOT named after VG characters and ended up with crappy names like Nosmoking, Shittierica (went to school with one of those) and so forth.

Besides, if they dont like it, they can change it later. Nothing is forever. Names can be changed.

How is giving someone a name from a video game character "living his own life" and forcing a common, dime a dozen name on someone not? Same thing, how do you know every John Michael Johnson Montgomery doesn't wish they had a more unqiue name.

Word. I think the only rule to naming your kid that everyone should follow is don't make it rhyme with penis.
 
[quote name='djkunai']You misread what I meant.[/quote]
no i didnt. i was just making an observation. had nothing to do w/ what you said besides you mentioning it.:roll:
 
Oh forgot,one of my sons would be named Raphael after someone very dear to me whos gone. He got the name from teenage mutant ninja turtles.
 
Simon - already mentioned several times but it's a good suggestion meeting your requirements: gaming related, not too common but not off the wall.

Nathan (Hale) - Resistance.
 
Here's my .02 - all interchangeable to some degree
