Would you name your kids after names from the games?

[Breine]

Kids? No! Pets? Maybe.. names like Lulu or something could be cute for a cat or dog.

[,,,]

No.

And if I (God forbid!) had children, you'd all be more worried the impending apocalypse that would result, so what I actually named the kid would be the least of anyone's concern.

[Takara]

I wouldn't go for the "weird" names like Cloud, Squall, Aerith, etc. But "normal" names like Sara, Tina, Zack, Vincent... No objection here.

Being someone who has a "weird" name (or rather, a name which is considered weird here as it is supposedly a masculine name), I wouldn't want my kids to be teased constantly like I was when growing up.

[gothic_fantasy]

I want to name my daughter Reina (Lenna from FFV's 'American' name), but it's not cos I have any affiliation with the character, I just like the name very much and it's listed in a baby names book so it's okay! Yeah I wouldn't want to send my kid off to school with a name like Squall or something, poor thing. I named my cat Aeris...and one of my hamsters Selphie (I was 12, okay).
I remember telling someone my name was Tifa (I had just started playing FF7 at the time, I was very young and silly). They cracked up laughing and said "that's a weird name!!" Needless to say I never used FF aliases on holiday again.

[silentenigma]

I'll name my kid Chaos.

[FF_Chick]

I'm naming mine daughter Terra or Celes... maybe Celes. My son may be Cecil... or Kain... or Butz (kidding).... or Zidane.

[Pete for President]

I always did love the name Cecil, which is an actually name and not just some made up thing like Vaan. (Plus Cecil is derived from the Latin name Caecilius, and Latin is win)

Vaan isn't made up, it's a commonly used name in Holland.

What? I'm from Holland and I've never heard of anyone around here named Vaan. We do use Daan though...

This list is based on my opinion

Not a bad idea... Here goes.

Firion - No
Maria - Got a sister named "Marie" and a mother named "Mary" so no.
Guy - Possibly
Leon- Yes
Cecil - No
Kain - Yes
Edward - Yes
Cid - No. Sydney maybe, but not Cid.
Rosa - Not likely
Edge - Well if I happened to name my son "Edward" and make "Gerald" his middle name, I might take a shot at seeing if the nickname "Edge" would catch on...
Rydia - No, though I do believe "Lydia" is a name, which is a possibility
Palom/Porom - No
Butz/Bartz - No. Variations on "Bart" maybe, such as "Bartholomew" or "Bartek" (which is Polish)
Lenna/Reina - Possibly Reina, or Rena
Galuf - No
Faris - Possibly; keep in mind Faris is actually a boy's name in English
Terra - Possibly
Locke - Possibly
Sabin - Sabine for a girl perhaps, if I were living in Europe
Edgar - Maybe
Celes - Celeste maybe
Setzer - Uh, maybe...
Daryl - After the former Pantera guitarist, spelled completely differently as a boy's name, yeah.
Relm - No
Umaro - No
Gogo - Never!
Mog - I actually knew of someone named Mog! (One of my mother's former co-workers! I think it was loosely derived from Megan.) But no.
Cyan - No
Gau - No
Cloud - Hell no
Tifa - No
Barret - No
Nanaki - No
Aeris/Aerith - No
Yuffie - With totally different spelling maybe
Cait Sith - No
Sephiroth - Oh god no!
Squall - No
Riona - Maybe the French "Linoa" if I happened to be living in Europe... by the French "Linoa" I mean that was her name in the French version.
Quistis - No!
Zell - No
Seifer - No
Edea - Unlikely, but I do like it
Ultimecia - Only if Future Esthar were the biological father to my wife who had cheated on me and he died before the birth and if I were subsequently nominated the unborn child's legal guardian
Zidane - No
Garnet - No
Vivi - No; wouldn't even name a daughter "Vivien" either
Freya - Um... maybe
Adelbert (Steiner's first name) - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no
Amarant - No
Tidus - No
Yuna - No. Hey, Yuna's a BOY's name in Korea!
Wakka - No
Auron - Nope; maybe "Aaron", but not "Auron".
Rikku - No
Kimhari - No
Lulu - My sister's called "Lucy" and I tend to call her "Lu" so no
Vaan - No
Ashe - Short for Ashley? Yes. Short for Ashelia? Don't be ridiculous.
Basch - No
Fran - No
Balthier - Much as I like it, no.
Penelo - Penelope, or Penny. Not Penelo.

[pspkilla]

I would us one of the following names:
Ashe and maybe even Ashelia
perhaps Freya
Locke
Raine
Rydia
Cecil
Edge
Leon
Zell-maybe
Lenne
Tifa
Terra
Kain
Vaan
Reina
Rikku-maybe
and maybe a few other ones too...

[Larahl]

I'm naming my kid, Emperor of Palamecia.
Yep.

[Evastio]

I wouldn't do that. It'd be too weird for my wife and my child. Assuming I ever get either of them...

[Jiro]

I would like to use one but it would be a bit weird to have thatsort of reasoning. I have a strange name so I don't want to cause bullying and stuff but having real common names sucks.
I did convince a couple of people in my year that my name is Ricard/Richard. It was good.

[escobert]

No, i will name them after .HACK characters

[Nagumo]

Zeromus EG Jr. - Sounds okay to me!
