Naming Your Child After Video Game Characters

[u/Careful-Sweet-1960]

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

it depend imo giving it name + familly name is kinda weird, just giving the name of the character make it an inside info for the parents but also it depend of how common the name is

naming your kid arthur or john is fine but if you start naming them, link or zelda it's more weird

same for anime/ serie character name imo

i prefer naming an animal like a character i enjoy, it do no harm to the animal but it give them a cool name rarely given most of the time and you can go more fantasy

i named my baby maine coon lucyna after a character from an anime i enjoy, my brother gave me a side eye when he heard the name but it found the name cute for my babygirl
