Summer, as well as the end of the year, is a good time to style light and fun rankings. The Ebuyer site, for example, has created a list of 30 baby names inspired by video game characters. The list includes female, male and genderless names, such as Phoenix from Ace Attorney and Sora from Kingdom of Hearts.
With an increasing number of gamers in the world, couples could find the ideal name for the baby by going a bit out of the classic names (or even the odd ones coined from scratch) to explore the narrative offered by some of the most and less famous videogame works . Let’s see the proposals together, some certainly valid while others a little pulled by the hair, starting from female names:
- Ada, Resident Evil
- Athena, Athena
- Cassie, Mortal Combat
- Ciri, The Witcher
- Epona, Legend of Zelda
- Farah, Prince of Persia
- Freya, God Of War
- Jade, Beyond Good and Evil
- Lara, Tomb Raider
- Morrigan, Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors
- Peach, Super Mario
“Athena is the main character of the game of the same name, who was the first to have a female protagonist”, spiga Ebuyer. “The name itself means” Goddess of Wisdom “, so it’s perfect for a smart girl! Super Mario’s Princess Peach is described as a gentle soul, while Lara from Tomb Raider might appear to be the exact opposite: a fierce woman, who wanders the world following his adventures “.
But what if a baby is born? Here are the names to choose from:
- Cecil, Final Fantasy IV
- Cortez, Timesplitters 2
- Dante, Devil May Cry
- Geralt, The Witcher
- Iago, Killer Instinct
- Kain, Legacy of Kain
- Mario, Super Mario
- Raiden, Mortal Combat
- Ryu, Street Fighter
- Yoshi, Super Mario
Between the classic Mario and the increasingly popular Geralt, Ryu (dragon) and Yoshi could be unsettling but acceptable choices. Finally, we come to the genderless names, which can be adopted by both a boy and a girl:
- Alyx, Half-Life
- Ash, Wandersong
- Phoenix, Ace Attorney
- Red, Super Smash Bros
- Raven, Gravity Rush
- Samus, Metroid
- Sunny, Metal Gear Solid 4
- Yuri, Art of Fighting
- Sora, Kingdom Hearts
And you, what video game name would you give to your son / daughter?
