NOTE: My oldest brother came up with this idea, Here's the deal, My brother wants to know if you could name your future son or daughter ANY Nintendo character's name, who would it be and why??( My brother personally thinks that Link would be a phat name)

In case of a daughter i would choose "Zelda" as it already exists before even Nintendo used it and it wouldn't look foolish. But for a son, Nintendo still needs to come up with a name that would make sense in using it.

I see guys named after the the red plumber, and i give out a little 'teehee!'

Link is a cool name!
Link is even the name of the Operator for the Neberchednezzer in Matrix Reloaded!
So it's spreading!

I ain't never having kids. But if I did ever become stupid enough to do so, such as losing my frontal lobe or something, I would most likely try to give them Japanese names.

Robin Williams did name his daughter Zelda after the character. He did state that he is a big Legend of Zelda fan (as well as Half Life and Halo) and loves all the games of the series.

oi! you stole my idea, i wanna name my son Donkey

Samus would make a good girls name, as its not too out there, yet still cool

and only nintendo fans would know it, unlike everyone who knows mario, most people call samus 'that guy from metroid'

Mario · « **Reply #9 on:** July 27, 2003, 10:17:04 PM »

I would call my son Goomba or Olimar

ThePerm · « **Reply #10 on:** July 27, 2003, 10:35:09 PM »

Olimars a nice name actually...

Someone in my town named their kid 'Leon', after the RE2 character, or so I've heard.

Y'know, EVERY time I have to come up with a name for a character in an RPG or something, I -always- name them after some video game character. The more obscure, the better. Who remembers Linda Lash?

PiGPEN · « **Reply #12 on:** July 28, 2003, 12:04:52 AM »

My boys gonna be called Ness whether he likes it or not!
And im partial to Saria as a girls name

If you name your kid after a Nintendo character, especially one like Kirby or Pikachu, it will get beat up every day.

Yup. And then your child will hate you for the rest of your life.

Link is definately my top choice. It's sweet. How abouts Roy, good ol' Roy. From Fire Emblem. That's sorta Nintendo isn't it? Ness is a interesting name. Maybe Peppy from Star Fox. Can I have the correct pronuciations for Saria and Malon? My friend and I argue about the names all the time. He doesn't have a great record of correctly pronouncing names in the first place so I wanna see if he's right.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #22 on:** July 28, 2003, 03:33:04 PM »

Names are a difficult thing in that everyone will have their own interpretation, and nobody can really declare a winner unless the person who thought up the name actually speaks it. However, in this case, I think it's pretty clear cut. Zelda is a Japanese game, therefore, Saria would be pronounced in Japanese fashion.

Sah (like the first part of salad), Ree (Like Rio De Janero), Ah (as in apple).

Sah Ree Ah.

Malon is more difficult, in that it's an English name, rather than a Japanese one. I would do it like this though:

Mah (like saying march), Lon (either loan, or talon... take your pick. I am more inclined to pronounce it like talon).

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #23 on:** July 28, 2003, 04:15:50 PM »

I personally find that naming your kid after some kind of character is generally pretty cheesy and somewhat corny.
I mean, imagine your kid named Buzz Lightyear, Evil Knievel, Goofy or Lara Croft, thats just totally gaye.
Its ok though if you name your dog something like that, actually thats what the thread should be called, would you name your pet after a Nintendo character.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #24 on:** July 28, 2003, 04:30:07 PM »

It's only cheesey if you name your kid "Lara Croft O'Brien" (<-- my last name). Naming your kid "Jenna" or something sounds normal, but it could have deeper meaning to you. (If you really loved Golden Sun or something, but you get my point.)

Even naming your kid "Saria" is fine, because it's a cool name, and people will assume it's an actual name from a certain culture or whatever.

I've always like "Petra" form the book "Ender's Game" but it doesn't sound good with my last name, because the first name ends with a vowel, and my last name begins with one.
