    A child named Sephiroth would be badass as smurf.

    Well the funny thing about that is if you name your daughter Viviane, a proper Portuguese nickname for her would be Vivi.

    Yeah but that's my grandmothers name and... she was not a good woman. So just Vivi for me

    Not that the situation is (hopefully) going to come up

    off topic but:
    My dad wasn't a good man either, and I would dream of eventually changing my last name to my Mother's so that when I had kids I would be continuing the tree in her legacy. Then one day I thought to myself that I can just keep this name and redirect it's history to serve my own dignity. Aka, owning it for myself and doing my part with it's attachment.
    you could do the same for your potentially future daughter

    That's a positive perspective to take on it!

    You don't pronounce the 'us.'
    Yes, you do. Just because he is written as Tiida does not mean the Tidus is meaningless. They very well chose Tidus as his name even in Japan whenever it is not written in Katakana - which can be seen in the manual of FFX and in Dissidia.

    When it comes to names, I want my first daughter to have several names of things I love. The second name would be Aerith.

    Something like Terra, Leila, Freya, Lulu, Rosa, Luna, Garnet, Fran, Maria, Beatrix, Ashe or Lenna are fairly conventional for girls.

    For boys, Guy, Josef, Gordon, Scott, Ricard, Cecil, Kain, Cid, Vincent, Edgar, Locke, Leo, Barret, or Vincent are somewhat common boys names.

    I dare you to name one real life person named Freya.

    Freya Mavor. Don't know who she is. She just came up when I typed in Freya + Actor

    Meet a lot of Lockes and Garnets, do you?

    (I've met no one with almost any of the "common" names you listed)

    Garnet is a gemstone, like Pearl or Ruby or Jade. Not that much of a reach.

    I went to high school with a kid named Locke, and we called I guy I played only Survivor with Lach, short for Lachlan.

    I've never met someone named Pearl, Jade, or Ruby in real life, either. But Garnet is another step out there. No one names their kid Topaz or Labradorite. Of course I can IMAGINE someone naming their child that, but I can also imagine someone naming their child "North" or "Apple" or "God." They are not conventional names. I'd say maybe half the ones you listed would qualify.
