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'

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?

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.

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).

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.

Post by: KnowsNothing 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.

Most of the names they come up with are Japanese or come from a different country anyways. SO it wouldn't be that weird naming your kid after them. Yes, Saria would be a great name for a little girl. Malon... sorta sounds like a chunky ugly kid.. melon. At least Saria would make someone think of a cute chick after just hearing the name. Hey... I bet ya that it would be cool if you got your little girl into Zelda, (BTW that's a good name too) and gave her elf ears through plastic surgery to make her look like Saria!
As for a guy, I'm more into RPG characters names. So I don't think that I could come with anything better than Link. Heh heh, how about Dr. Mario? LoL!

Guys, come on. I love video games as much as the next guy, but none of you are serious, are you? This child would be tortured in school if you named him after a recognizable video game character. When you guys are saying "Link is actually a good name" and "I think Samus is good", you're joking right?
BTW Kirby is a real name, so that kid wouldn't get as beat up as if he were named "Pikachu".
The only way anyone should name their kid after a video game character is if it;s a normal name (or not so normal, like, Zelda. It isn't really normal, but it's real.).

I don't think I'd name a son or daughter after Nintendo games. However, my kids and I named our cat "Zelda". Our beagle puppy is "Frodo".

I know a kid named Kirby, and it really doesn't stick out that he has the same name as a famous blob of what looks like bubble gum.

Thank you Grey Ninja for those pronunciations it helps alot. Also I recently got Ender's Game on tape(a awesome novel go read it!) and when I heard Petra I immediately thought of Tetra from WW. Tetra's a cool name too. And one more thing. Mace, as in Mace Windu from Star Wars, it isn't Nintendo but it's still a cool name.
Title: RE: Name Your future son or daughter.........After A Nintendo Character!
Post by: Shorty McNostril on July 29, 2003, 01:16:32 PM
Actually, Mace is a nintendo name to a degree. Nintendo have used Mace Windu in the Clone Wars. Still, I don't think that it would make it a full fledged nintendo name though. But nintendo have used it.

I honestly intend to name my cat Shigeru and call it Shiggy. As for Nintendo character names, I think Saria, Mario, Kirby, Zelda, and Professor E. Gadds aren't bad. They're normal enough not to be picked on, but they're still Ninty character names. Yeah, I'm kidding about the last one.
Samus Aran, Tetra, Malon, and Xavier are all cool names, but I wouldn't name my kids that. Except maybe Xavier, but that isn't a Nintendo name anyway. . .

Post by: Lithium on July 14, 2012, 04:10:12 PM
the only name i can see getting away with for a boy would be "Red (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_(given_name))" from pokemon. Also its pretty interesting seeing people who I've never seen before in this thread, It's a nice time capsule. I must have been 12 when this thread was actually happening, i think i had just gotten an internet connection around that time.
