Please tell me you've aren't such a gamer you'd do this fucking shit
Zanzibart is a pretty good name, wdym?
Dad, everyone at school keeps making fun of me because of my name!
Zanzibart, forgive me...
remember that couple on deviantart that named their kid dovahkiin
My brother named his daughter "Ana" after the overwatch hag.
Luckily it's an extremely common name around here, so no one bats an eye
Another was Sephiroth
That's just a normal name
naming your daughter after a healslut
but yeah, at least it wasnt Mercy
implying older generations didn't name their kids after pop culture
Jennifer and Vanessa only exist because of shakespeare
I know someone that named their kid Lincoln so they could call him Link for short.
Both my parents are History Professors and named me and my brothers as well as sisters after historical or biblical figures.
Ezekiel
Constantine
Lucrezia
Dad why is my name Malenia?
Uhm... It's from The Muppets, darling.
I'm going to name my son Klonoa
not Godefroy
in before she becomes a girl
Klonoa actually hates trannies, so naming my son Klonoa would act as an energetic talisman preventing him from ever trooning out.
TWITTER SCREENSHOT THREAD, YES!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! THIS IS FREAKING EPIC, LET'S GO XISTERS!
You talking to me, lady?
No, my son is ALSO named Zanzibart!
Heh.
Back around 2010 one of the teachers at my highschool named his newborn son after a shitty television soap opera that's now cancelled.
No, not after a character from the show, the kid was named after THE SHOW ITSELF.
It's a normal name but naming you child after an Overwatch character is pretty much like naming your daughter after a pornstar these days lmao
It's fine as long as the names are actually normal fucking names
My friends son is called Chris and plans on calling his first daughter Claire
Fucking kek
I don't get naming your kid after a media character in the first place. That's something you do with pets. Video games.
My son's name is Gideon
I like you, Sephiroth. Don't come to school tomorrow.
My son, The Loathsome Dung Eater.
I’m named Mario after the character
Holy fuck
One more (You) to add to the pile. Well done.
i raffed
I clicked on this thread, expecting some sort of Zanzibart joke and I was not disappointed.
sister wants to name her soon-to-be-born son Bella after the Sims character
tell her that's the stupidest thing she can ever do for someone that isn't even born yet
her boyfriend defends her decisions and almost came to blows with me insisting to not name their son fucking Bella
Sucks to be you, Bella.
My parents named my sister "Mariko" because my dad really loved that one character from "Shogun" for some reason. The book, not the TV series. And no, we are not japanese, not even in the slightest.
her boyfriend
That kid's got bigger issues than his name.
I'm also gonna co-parent him, anon. I'm a permavirgin anyways so at least I can be a cool uncle for the kid.
Not bad, homo
Pretty much all of them are normal names, though. Especially if you live in the UK.
Lucrezia is sexy. Is your sister a stripper
Bella is a normal name though, who cares.
good one
See, now, Gideon is a good game name because it's a genuine name. That's the trick if you wanna name your kid after a character. You can't name them fuckin' Bingo Bongo Plungus Chungus or some shit. It has to be a name that people won't think too hard about, but that anyone who knows about it will wonder if it's a reference.
Every family member I have is named after a disciple or some kind of Christian name.
Pain in the dick when a name is called out and 3 different people call out
HUH?
or everyone's mail is just opened because it could be addressed to multiple different people at the same address.
My first son is going to be called Max Payne or some shit to avoid this.
Please tell me your last name starts with L...
for a boy?
first good post in a while
this site sucks now
Robin Williams famously named his daughter Zelda because he was a huge fan of the series. It's not nearly as bad as some other names, like Moxie Racecar.
Or Moon Unit
I'm gonna name my kid Super Mario
how were you able to think of this so quick?
The craziest thing is that a FROMtroon managed to reproduce.
Put me in the screenshot.
add me to the r/greentext
I suppose it's fine dad, I know how much Elden Ring means to you. I forgive you.
ZACK, FORGIVEN FATHER OF THE CURSED YOUTH health bar appear
I've always liked the names Claire and Leon.
Max Payne is an surprisingly common name. Normies with the last name Payne named their son Max because they thought it sounded cool decades before the game came out. I know a woman called Max Payne too because her name is Maxine lol. I know asian women called Jackie Chan too lol even asians love doing that shit.
That’s how you revive a played out meme
I considered Clementine after TTs TWD, it's still a nice name and I still like S1 but never cared much about it afterwards.
Put me in the screencap
The chinese can have 2 different names, 1 their chinese name the other is their western name.
unless you choose some super obscure rare name, you're inevitably going to share a name with SOME piece of media from the last 150 years
I want to name my kid Sylvester
kids are your pets
Fuck kek
Yeah, you'll meet the most asian 1st gen immigrant dudes saying "herro how are you my name john".
I know a 40 something year old hag called Marisa and that'll be my excuse to say the kid isn't named after the fictional (superior) Marisa.
Wendy literally only exists because of Peter Pan, it was a name created for that character in the story
Random 40 IQ thot who posts in all caps on twitter while on her way to Planned Parenthood for her 50th abortion of the year thinks she has any room talking shit
a boy asks his dad why his sister is named madonna. his father says it's because his mother was a fan and thought the world needed a second one. the boy doesn't really understand but says "thanks for explaining dad." the dad says "no problem adolf."
They're unpaid labor, actually.
nigger
kino...
bitch in the clip he's courting is a doughy la creatura and the one recommending fucking "zion"
whore laughing at him in the tweet is a barren fridge
So sensitive
I named my daughter after best Castlevania character
he could be here now
That's not Shanoa.
Name my daughter after Ashley Graham
Last name is Ho
Try to nickname my daughter Ash
So she'll grow up being called Ash Ho(asshole) as a fun joke
Only 2 years old
Wife keeps calling her Ashley
In her toddler speak, she calls herself Ecchi
She ended up with a funnier nickname that will teach all her friends no matter how old she is.
Bro don’t compare Shakespeare to fucking overwatch
you fucker
I legit talked my ex-boyfriend into naming our daughter Ness.
don't put me in the screencap
Sure isn't
Imagine being called something retarded like Sephiroth by your parents, what nick do you pick for the internet?
xX_sTeVe_Xx
What's wrong with calling your daughter Amy?
Have a (You), on the house.
His wife is named after a Firekeeper, so...
Holy fuck
Holy based
she's 11
fuck me babys are absolutley hideous
overwatch has contributed more happiness into this world than Shakespeare
funny guy
i named my daughter after the loli in cyberpunk edgerunners
and no one will ever know
When a king that names his daughter Nobeta appears I will literally kneel.
You didn't answer the question
W anon
No you didn’t
Oh please, Shakespeare was slopy for the masses. Basically the mcu of it's time.
Marisa is a pretty common name in mexico
Irina
russky female name
you know what that means
this is the op
Zelda was an actual name before video games were even a thing.
Sephiroth isn't that terrible of a name since it's an actual Hebrew word with some pretty deep meaning behind it. And it can easily be shortened to "Seph" or "Seth". There are plenty of other Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts names that are completely retarded so being name Sephiroth instead of one of those is a bullet dodged.
I’m sitting at the bus and laughing loudly at this
if i'll have a daughter not in a million years i'll name her Lady
I never understood these shirts. Why bother with "a man born in September" when you can make shirts for Virgo or Libra? Astrological signs at least have social precedence when correlated with personality.
that made me laugh too loudly for this late
Well played
Name daughter Widowmaker
Shoot self
Astrological signs at least have social precedence when correlated with personality.
t. a woman
you wouldn't get it
Gideon is a fine name though
I mean they are certainly better than those made up african sounding black girl names that many african americans come up with.
All My Children Berkowitz was a fun kid
Shakespeare never caused anybody pain and anger like overwatch did
Say it to all kids who had to suffer through his slop in schools
Donkey Kong
But what are some video game characters that you could name your kids after?
The point is to be dumb on purpose because it's funny (until it's not)
kinooooooo
Or the daughter of the lord of the castle going through a racewar.
Literally any name that is "normal" in reality. Or has crossover with another piece of media. Like Alice, Zack, Hilda, or obscure enough that even an internet search will have some leeway.
The only Bob I've ever known in real life was a 1st gen Korean
This is the most American sentence on this website
Oh, a boy uhhhh then no
Only if their name is literally Bob, most times it's just a shortening of Robert. Do find it funny that I know a guy named Robert, but he goes by Bert.
Every Robert I know shortens to Rob, same as William, it gets shortened to Will rather than Bill. To me it's the sort of great-grandad name you only find in books, up there with shit like Fred or Herbert
I named my daughter Yuna.
I live in Japan and it's a very common name here
those are literally all regular names
Depends, guy I know at work shortens his to Bob, but good lord are there a lot of Roberts at my current job, also there's a lot of a guys with my name so it gets unsettling to hear someone say it in the distance. Pretty sure he's about 10-15 years older than me
LOLE
ok I don't get this joke... can someone enlighten this brainlet(me)?
But all his most famous stories are very interesting kids should love it, except maybe early parts of Romeo and Juliet.
You DO have a name shortlist right?
My eldest 6 sons:
Oswald, Cuthbert, Edgar, Leofric, Warmund, and Athelstan.
Fucking incredible.
Based Anglo-Saxon.
My friend named his kids after dark souls characters. The oldest one is Solaire, which his Grandparents call Larry. Daughter is Gwendolyn, not too wierd, everyone says Gwen. The youngest son is Artorias, his grandparents call that one Tory. So when I see him at church, everyone uses the grandparent's version and not their real names, which pisses off my friend. He's a good guy, just a raging autist.
Transcendent.
Well unless he's a fucking Celt, it's pretty hard to justify using Artorias as normal when Arthur would have been "safer."
Put me in the screencap redditniggers, discordtrannies and twittertroons.
Those are way more "normal" sounding names (hell I already knew a Zion) than Sephiroth and Seph owned his name so this doesn't seem like an issue to me at all
procreating
Ewww.
DINK all the way.
Jonesy fortnite
I would like to name my daughter marisa and my son dante.
dont have any son names bc i want a daughter
Depends on where you live
lul
The oldest one is Solaire, which his Grandparents call Larry.
Funny
I couldn't pretty much justify any vidya girl names because I'm not Anglo or Japanese
If it's with one l, sure, why not
Anon Babble still lives...
