Nothing wrong with naming your kid after a game character. A name is a name. If you grow up and hate it, legally change it. Personally, I think Dovahkiin is a badass name.
That's a weird name to choose as a kid but the whole "the poor kids will get picked on because of his name" thing is kind of old. I think kids who don't get picked on because of their first or last name are in the minority. Kids will figure out how to make fun of the name "John Smith"
Awesome! Like Justin said, kids will make fun of any name they can if they choose too. It's just the way it is. Hopefully he's a big kid and can beat down the tyrants haha. In other news. Horrible names for kids. A couple in New Jersey named their son Adolf Hitler redneck or whatever their last name was. They were in the…
It could be worse, some kid from singapore was named Batman Bin Suparman, and some some other birth name was Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K, named after ketamine! Come to think about it, being referred to as Mr Suparman aint so bad!
I'm pretty sure a large part of the Armenian and Russian community like to chip in and say 'Cool' name and scoff at anyone named Trevor Power McJohnson.
I personally think Dovahkiin is a pretty cool name, game or no game. It's a bit of a weird name but its hardly like they called their child Mario or Commander Shepard.
I feel sorry for the kid. Hell, I have difficulty as it is with my last name. Augran was apparently my last name in England according to some companies. But good for them and all that. :)
At least it's a fairly interesting name that a lot of people wont know off hand, didn't Nic Cage name his son Kal-el? hows he supposed to live up to that?
