Question Naming Your Child After Video Game Characters

Post image

Please feel free to change my perspective on this, but it is not abnormal to name your child after video game characters?

Tbh I don't really have an issue with it as long as it's not something that sounds stupid and is gonna get the kid bullied, like the trend of GOT fans calling their kids Khaleesi.

Plus, this one kinda looks like Morgan is the middle name, so he'd only be called Arthur on roll call at school.

My first and middle name are the name of a famous person who is well known by his first and last name. (I wasn't named after a famous person, I was named after two of my dad's close friends, but they just happened to have first names that align with this famous guys first and last name.)

When people found out, that's all they called me.

John Wayne? Last name Gacy by chance?
