As the title states, would you name your future baby/child “Ryu” if it was a boy or any of the other popular SF characters? (You don’t have to be Japanese either) I can only imagine myself doing this if I ever had a child with a woman who has interest in fighting games, but I would fear he would be made fun of as a kid. Here’s a the meaning of the name, Ryu http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Ryu.html

…

I give this thread 30 seconds before death by ginger.

Also, what have you got against all the Kens who post here, anyways?

Hahaha…fuck no.
You shouldn’t be allowed to breed if you want to do that.

4

Not his though. Different Chinese character which means “prosperity” rather than “dragon.”

I named my daughter mike bison

Reminds me of this:

I’m such a stream monster though my first child will probably be HonzoFiend BroScant or some nonsense

Fighting game names? No.

There’s three levels of names

  1. Normal names
    Kevin, Chad, William
  2. Normal names that can have a geeky nature if you know the parents
    Link, Leia, Luke, Clark
  3. Names that will get your kid beat the fuck up
    Kal-El, Zangief, Batman Bin Suparman

Maybe if I were Japanese or something Ryu wouldn’t sound too bad, but as an American I have to say hell no! SF names are pretty absurd, I mean you could imagine someone with the name Balrog in real life?

There’s plenty of people named Vega…as a first and surname.

Plenty of Kens in the world.

Lots of Chuns (ever heard of China?)

Cammy, Dudley, Adon, Cody, Seth, Makoto (Japan), Rufus etc…

All these are fairly common names, so yes, lots of people would technically name their children after fighting game characters, 99.9% will be unintentional though.

I will name my child Yun, so he will be good at everything without trying.

11

nope

12

Then he will fail to every person named Seth.

Who am I kidding…you doomed that kid as soon as you pulled out.

13

Im still laughing at Death by Ginger

…who am I kidding, I’m still laughing at the typos in the threat title.

And I am still naming my kid Homerun Touchdown. He will be the greatest NBA player ever. Fuck a Steve Nash or a Larry Bird

14

I would name my child Victor Fontanez.

15

I plan to have triplets and call them Vega, Mike Bison and Balrog, respectively. When they become 18, I’ll switch their names around.

100% honest

16

I’ve gone to school with plenty of Codys and met a guy named “Ryu” in Jr high…he was the Scholar Athlete too.

17

Girl-Cammy
Boy
If chinese or looks like bruce lee Fei long
If Generic White Boy Cody
If Japanese Ryu.
If Black Dudley

How about just not name your kid based on any videogame/movie/tv show/comic book character.

That’s just about as dumb as getting a tattoo of whatever shit based on the aforementioned stuff. It will be there for lifetime, except that you’re playing with your child’s livelihood instead of your own.

no.

but…but…
that is the most Awesome McCoolname ever, EVER :confused:
