I'm so confused...I have like this friend..who wants to name her kids after
FFX-2 characters...Geez..I mean name your kid after a ffx-2 character?!
Think of it...you boy is playing outside and when he has to go to bed you scream outside: GIPPAAAAAAAAALH!! GO TO BED NOW!! ..It sounds weird..
doesn't it? My "friend" is such a loser...

I mean..Geezz Man! Get in touch with reality!

*Sorry if this topic is dumb and useless...*

wow that is scary! she/he should name the kids after ff8 people!!

Ehm, why should you name your children after FF8 instead of FFX-2? Zell come eat your dinner? Puh-leeze. I think it should be banned to name your children after any game characters that have not every day names.

Too true Jazzy. Seriously, I mean, there's being a fan and then there's being a FAN. Recomend nice names like Abigail and Carla. Or if it's a boy give him a name like Christopher or Shawn. But still, I know some people want their children to be different, but man, no WAY!

Names like Sepiroth and Brother r a bit stupid but i think theres nothing wrong with naming a real person Gippal. I reakon its an ok name.

yeah there nothin wrong with gippal or baralia but i would think a girl called paine mite not have many frends

True, Baralai is a beautiful name for a boy, but I still go with what i said!

Naming kids after FF characters, scary, although Tidus isn't so bad.

Naming your kids after FF characters is kind of unusual but the idea is kind of cool. I mean naming your kids "Cait Sith or "Wakka would be stupid but other names like "Cid" and "Rinoa" would proably fit in real life, and hell I would a couple people named "Zell" and "Lulu" so some of the names could fit in real life.

Besides it's better than your friend naming thier kids after celebrities kids, I mean who the fuck going to name thier kid "Phinneaus". :confused:

Names like Sepiroth and Brother r a bit stupid but i think theres nothing wrong with naming a real person Gippal. I reakon its an ok name.
Gippal, no way, it sounds like nippel

*friend walks over* "Hey Nipple, I..I mean Gippal, yeah......"

Gippal, no way, it sounds like nippel

*friend walks over* "Hey Nipple, I..I mean Gippal, yeah......"

Lol =)
Come to think of it though Baralia is a heafty name. Got a nice ring to it. Found my favourite name =)

Since this has turned into a general discussion of naming kids after FF characters, I'm moving it to General Final Fantasy, where it may or may not be closed depending on whether there's already a topic there like this.


And yeah, some I would use, some I wouldn't. Locke is one that would be okay (there's a character on the show Lost called Locke, although that's his last name) and Freya is another okay one that actually comes from mythology.

I would name my kid Tidus, or Lulu, maybe even Rikku. but nothing crazy like Wakka, or Chappu.........Sephiroth....thats a cool name. and Aeris........thats kinda cool too.

Yeah and plus school I mean come on: "chris? john? mary? yunalesca?" sounds weird the only normal name in ff is like lulu and that's a bit weird too...

Lulu is a real name though.......isn't it?

Lulu is a real name though.......isn't it?
I think so but I've never met anyone named lulu so i wouldn't know

hmm....I know tidus is a real name, when i was little my best friends name was tidus, and then i moved.

hmm....I know tidus is a real name, when i was little my best friends name was tidus, and then i moved.
Cool so we know one name is usuable in real life

hehe, i want my sons name to be tidus ^_^

hehe, i want my sons name to be tidus ^_^
It sounds cool but I dunno I wouldn't want my son to have the most forgein name in his class... if i lived somewhere around asia it would be a bit more acceptable in my opinion.

Well I wouldn't want my kid to have a common name, I would want it to have a nice rare name *I only called it it, because I don't know if I'll have a boy or girl*

What does everyone tink about naming a son Dante....after dante from Devil May cry?

That'd be a cool name, but lets hope people don't think he'd be the devils son.....*wasn't that what Dante was...?*

What does everyone tink about naming a son Dante....after dante from Devil May cry?
That thought never crossed my mind probably cause I've never played it...


Well I wouldn't want my kid to have a common name, I would want it to have a nice rare name *I only called it it, because I don't know if I'll have a boy or girl*
yeah I suppose but I dunno I mean what if your child didn't like that kind of attention?

yeah I suppose but I dunno I mean what if your child didn't like that kind of attention?
aw....well I'm not planning on having kids this early in my life, I still have time to think about it

well tidus is a real name but ive only seen it spelled as titus but there pronounced the same and there are peole who are called rinoa and cid so some arent bad but ones like Squall or BUTZ those would be just creapy...Butz HA HA.

The name Riku is a real name and you say it the same has Rikku.

My nickname is Lulu for real Ive been called that since I was 5.

Some names are ok. But most are strange.
What about the name Zidane?? Isnt that somebodies name??

I think it was only the character in 9's name. I dunno. maybe it is

What about the name Zidane?? Isnt that somebodies name??
it's some french guys last name. don't belive me? go to google.com and type in zidane tribal.

"AURON, TAKE YOUR SHOWER!!! NO EXCUSES"
Auron:"Aww Mum!"

Well, it all depends on the name. And some of the used FF names are real names anyway. Auron for example, or Lulu, also a lot names from older FF games.... there are quite a lot. Titus is also a name (and it sounds like Tidus).

That's why I can't say I wouldn't name my kid like that. Some of the names are quite ok and doesn't sound bad at all. ;)





Locke is one that would be okay (there's a character on the show Lost called Locke, although that's his last name)
I'd never call my kid 'Locke' because that means 'curl' in German. :laugh:

Imagine if you named your kind Cloud. I'd be nice, but then people might think of you as some sorta hippie or soemthing.

it does sound like quite a fruity name

I'm sorry but to name your children after Final Fantasy characters requires a special kind of weird, although theres nothin' wrong with Cid it's a normal name. What about pets though? Is that weird, I had a male cat called Cloud and I have a female cat called Rinoa.

What about the name Zidane?? Isnt that somebodies name??
yup... Zinedine Zidane (pronounced Zid-ann) (nice choice Mme. Zidane-screwing your child over from birth!) french footballer, was the highest paid in the world (as far as i know he still is(?)

i know a Riku (female-go figure)and a Lulu, but I don't think naming your kid Yuna, Auron, Rinoa, or maybe even Garnet or Quistis would be such a bad thing, so long as you didn't go around telling ppl where you got the name from, no-one's going to know or care, are they?

I'm sorry but to name your children after Final Fantasy characters requires a special kind of weird, although theres nothin' wrong with Cid it's a normal name. What about pets though? Is that weird, I had a male cat called Cloud and I have a female cat called Rinoa.

You do? Whehe..lol..coolies...if i could name one of our pets..i would call it..
Rinoa..or..Angelo.. (maybe, don't think so...hehe..)

My dog kinda looks like Rinoa's angelo lol...same colour and everythin...just too cute ^_^

ya know i love japanese names i dont like many english ones but i wouldnt name my kid after a character in a game

I agree

i have a cat called angelo and another called red 13 and i want to name one of my kids yuna and one squall

I like the name Terra for a girl.

terra sorta like terror and paine sorta like pain

Terra what kinda a name is that???........*looks at screen name*.......i stand corrected.........Terra's okay i guess but what about Aeris that's okay other names are all right in FF just can't think of any right now.......

And yeah, some I would use, some I wouldn't. Locke is one that would be okay (there's a character on the show Lost called Locke, although that's his last name).
There's a newscaster where I live that's named Locke (Locke's his first name). My dad thinks that the guys parents had to be crazy to name their kid Locke. I'm gonna agree with my dad that it is kinda odd.

locke is a good name and a common one at that u just hurt a lot of ppls feelings

The strangest one, in my opinion, would probably be Kimhari.

sry. it's not a common name where i live

sry. it's not a common name where i live
Who would name their kid Cloud?? I know I wouldn't.

lol...can u imagine it..."cloud you look a bit under the weather, dear"

There are a few names in the games that are okay I'd call my kid Cid and dagger(joke) to be honest Rikku is okay, maybe , Freya's pretty good. That's about it though the rest would just raise too many questions with other people, that and those ones are about the coolest.

I'm sorry but to name your children after Final Fantasy characters requires a special kind of weird, although theres nothin' wrong with Cid it's a normal name. What about pets though? Is that weird, I had a male cat called Cloud and I have a female cat called Rinoa.
having pets names are fine. they don't really care what their name is. all i know is that i would not name my kid Vaan *FFXII*

vaan, no, but maybe bus.

vaan, no, but maybe bus.
hahaha, thats funny. teh only final fantasy names i would use in real life would probably be:
*Tifa, Aeris,
*Rinoa (squall means wind for crying out loud) Zell
*Yuna, Rikku, Lulu, Tidus, Auron
thats probably all i;d ever use....if that.

what about:
Vincent
Cid
Locke
or .............

Those are common names though, i wouldn't want a common name (Unless my husband wanted one -_- *no, im not married, i was just saying that, for if/when i get married)*

I know a kid called Locke. He is very cute, he's only 2 years old.

What does everyone tink about naming a son Dante....after dante from Devil May cry?
More like Dante from Clerks or Dante the semi common name for that matter.

I like the name Dante. I would call my kid that.

I posted a link to a little baby born in July who was named "Yunalesca". I thought it was really disturbing, but lots of people didn't agree. I guess it's not all that different than naming a kid after a character in a book. Some names are just awful, but others aren't bad. I wouldn't do it, though. It just implies that you have no life outside of the video games, imho.

are you serious?! someone really named their kid Yunalesca.......they got some guts.....

yeah ff names would only be suitable for nicknames in my opinion...

Some names are cool for kids though, don't you think?

Some names are cool for kids though, don't you think?
yeah i would like to name my kid something weird and cool sounding but i'm afraid if i do so it'll scar them for life...

I would name my kid Trench(in tradition of FFVII and FFVIII), just kidding.

I think some of the FF names are pretty cool, not all of them obviously, but some bear relation to real names

Lulu - there's a pop singer with this name
Zidane - the Football geezer
Barret
Vincent
Tifa - could easily be Tiffany etc...

and others are cool as well

Aeris, Yuna, Auron, Tidus - none of them are bad names for a child ( although Yunalesca is pushing it)

Cloud, Squall, Eiko and Garnet would be weird though, as would some other FF names.

but in the end a name is a name (imo)

Biggs and wedge are from star wars (i think)
But i think i'll name my kid Quistis (this is a lie)

Biggs and wedge are from star wars (i think)
But i think i'll name my kid Quistis (this is a lie)

yeah thats right
Biggs Darklighter is the guy in Lukes trio that gets shot down by Vader
Wedge Antillies is the other member of Lukes team, but he manages to survive and goes on to lead Rouge Squadron

are you serious?! someone really named their kid Yunalesca.......they got some guts.....
its not as bad as Bob

En't garent it type of precious rock?????? Besides someone muight be called it and is this weird or am i just being kinda weird or is 'precious' sort of a funny name.....for a boy?????

Wedge Antillies is the other member of Lukes team, but he manages to survive and goes on to lead Rouge Squadron

Rogue isn't a hard word to spell. I wonder why so many people can't do it. :(

Garnet would be weird though, as would some other FF names.

but in the end a name is a name (imo)
why? it's a gemstone and can't be as weird as some of the names that are in the Final Fantasies.

I don't know about some of these names you know as for Biggs and Wedge at least you could say they're names from Star Wars instead of final fantasy, wait.............that would be just as weird.

having a name from starwars would be worse then haivng a name from final fantasy (not that final fantasy names are bad..)

yeh imagine being called Obiwon or C3PO.....hehehe :)

But Luke is ok. The others are weird. It just doesn't sound right when you say "Jabba go to bed"...

That'd be fun! Imagine star wars kids in the mad cloaks and fake plastic light sabres!

hehe lol yeh.................i can see it now.......CHEWY!! get in here.....(Chewy enters) stop chewin that thing Chewy.....

(sorry bad joke i know......i'll stop now.......)

hehe lol yeh.................i can see it now.......CHEWY!! get in here.....(Chewy enters) stop chewin that thing Chewy.....

(sorry bad joke i know......i'll stop now.......)

Haha...no..funny!! lol...

I'd be embarrassd if my name was Chewy (or the full name- Chewbakka)

having a name like chewbacca would be good if you wanted to sponsor choclate bars.

"new starwars choclate bars there really chewy"

hehe lol :) good one what else can you think up for chewy?? :)

how bout chewy the new range of chewing gum?

lol thats good to :)

just imagine an advert
" and here's chewy the sponserer for the new range of chewing gum chewy" lol bit confusing

yeh very confusing but still Hilarious :)

lol has all the pictures gone from this site on your comp? they have from mine, weird

yeh but it happens sometimes they should pop back up sometime or another :)

oh ok just wonderin thought it was my comp lol

yeh well it confused me when i first joined but it works in the end..........like i said :)

There really aren't "good" or "bad" names, it's all personal preference. If someone wants to name their kids after ff characters, let them. It's the kids who will be embarassed. ;)

Terra_Fire and Nixxi, please stop chatting.

ps
I would have no qualms naming a possible son Edgar.

I think Edgar would be a normal name

Terra would be a normal name too...I think..
Well..it's normal here....XD :confused:

I would never call my children Yuna and Sqall. Geez, is that even anything to think about? There's a guy in my class named 'Bror', which means brother, and he gets a lot of unwanted attention. So just imagine if you call your son Cloud.

Bror?! HAha.....XD XD XD!!!

I wanna name my kid 'Seymour Buttz'! :laugh:

Two FF character names you should never use together for a child's name under any circumstances.

Seriously, in a sense, my real name is actually also the name of a FF character - a minor one though (my real name is Marcus, who was one of the Tantalus members in FFIX, and who joins your party at several points in the game).

Really, I can't see too much of a problem with naming a child after a FF character, as it's no real different to naming someone after a famous person or literay figure. Mind you there are some FF names that no sane person would ever consider for a child's name (most of the FFVIII and X names spring to mind... ).

And, adding my own personal choice, about the only FF character names I'd consider naming a child would be either Terra or Garnet (and I've heard Garnet used as a male name as well), but I guess it would be up to the mother of the child to decide though.

actually, as weird as it is, i like alot of the FF names, they sound pretty badass some of them, it would depend on the child and only certain characters....i sure as hell wouldnt name my kid seymour or ultimecia or nething like that....and damn sure not wakka or lulu, they are cool but those arnt exactly my choice of names, but Tidus sounds cool, and Seifer, and Auron...kimarhi is too wierd and squall sounds like a whimp name

I'd love to name one of my daughters Kairi. I think it's a beautiful name.

hehe lol yeh.................i can see it now.......CHEWY!! get in here.....(Chewy enters) stop chewin that thing Chewy.....

(sorry bad joke i know......i'll stop now.......)
*walks in, and everybody stares at me* "What?"

Personally I think naming people after FF characters is a cool thing, i dont like ordinary names. I would want to name my child something like Terra probably.

Yeah..well..Terra is kinda okey here too...but
all those names..are so.....WEIRD :S

Look basically it's weird to call your child after any of the more unusual final fantasy name's. Which is most of them.

Tthey are unusual names but i would really like to be named after one of them, I prefer some of the names that my real one. Amarant, vincent, aeris, Barthelo, tifa, edward and firion are cool names but in my opinion kefka, Fu So Ya, Laguna, Tellah and Loz (of FFVII AC) are really weir funny names. Imagine that your taxi driver is called Necron Trival.

Did you mean to mispell Yuna in the title?
Well anyway, there are a few characters that I think would be good games, some minor characters like "Marcus" have pretty decent names but calling your daughter "Dagger" or "Terra" could be a bit of a mistake..

vincent, tifa, aeris, and edward are the closest to pretty normal names. lulu could be a nickname for a girl named lauren though.

hmmmmmm giving your child like a name like yuna or tidus isnt that bad but it would be really wierd if she made them dress like the characters in the game

The only names I would consider normal (in U.S) are Vincent and maybe Barret also Cecil is ok but it seems a little formal.

it would be worst if the kid actually took on the personality of the character they are named after, but in my opinion the worst names to give a kid would be kimhari (or however its spelt) or gau, or naming someone after ff1 character (black mage, fighter is on the phone for you, Black Mage: tell him to go SCREW himself!) but there are stranger names (like that one overly flamboyant, strange, child molesting celebrity who named his kid blanket)

The only names I would consider normal (in U.S) are Vincent and maybe Barret also Cecil is ok but it seems a little formal.
Yes, I agree with that! But still.... I think it's kinda weird... I mean.. just.. because you like a game..You don't really name your kids after it....Do you?
I mean.. there are a lot of other names... :confused:

hmmmmmm giving your child like a name like yuna or tidus isnt that bad but it would be really wierd if she made them dress like the characters in the game

No, that's not weird, it's called obsessionism!

There is now a medical term for people who are obsessed with Final Fantasy and other SE games, called Enixophiliacs. And I am happy to claim that I am one of the first!

There is now a medical term for people who are obsessed with Final Fantasy and other SE games, called Enixophiliacs.

or just... geeks

not all hardcore ff fans are geeks, mind you i take pride in being a geek, its better than being some braindead jock or some go nowhere in life stoner, remember that everyone next time someone calls you a geek, that it is the geeks who end up owning companies and making craploads of money

I think yuna is a real name in japan hm... not really certain

or just... geeks
Hah... You practically just called everyone who posts here a geek. Though I don't know if I'm a geek. I play FF but no very often. They get too hard so I usually give up on them :(...

It would probably be okay, if you gave them one of the more normal names, for example Vincent or Cid, because you actually really like the names. But naming them that because you really like the character is a little weird.

There is onthing bad in calling your kids afet FF characters, the only problem is: what if with the pass of time they hate FF or any RPG???
I would have really loved to be called Seymour or Bastok or Gustaberg

You COULD call your children ff names or you could change the names around a bit so that do sound like ffnames (does that make sense??..)
Take ffx for example:
Lulu: you could call your child louise and then shorten it to lulu
Auron: The name Aaron soulds like Auron....
Yuna: I like the name Yuna i would call my child yuna, but im not gonna...
Rikku: Its a nice name but id probably call my cat rikku
Wakka:.....dunno...
Kimarhi: (see above)
Dona: Donna
Jecht: Jack?
Callie: (the little girl who was so exited about the calm) If i was going to name my children after ffcharacters id definatly pick callie, its so pretty
O'aka: only if you want your child beaten up....
Shelinda: the worst name iv ever heard
Biran: switch around the i and r and you want get.....Brian!

Speaking of people with ffnames my cousin is called Riona which is kinda like Rinoa cept the o and n are switched round.....just thought id mention that...

I name my pets after final fantasy characters, but I'd never name a child after one. That would be wierd, I can hear it now, "Squall, eat your peas." Yeah, I think I'd probably bust out laughing, then how authoritive would that sound?

Just tell them to fuck off, works for me.....

I named my cat Yuna, but I find it pretty stupid to name your kids after FF characters. Unless they're already normal names that people have all the time, I think I knew someone named Lulu before, and Erin (Sailor Erin from FFIX) is my brothers girlfriends name.

i wouldn't mind calling my child riona or yuna i think they r cute names but thats my opinion.

i wouldnt call any of my kids ff characters the only ones that would pass are cid vincent marcus and may be some other ones but if you look up the definition of squall tjat would not be your kids name

Wow that's crazy.

Let's see how Fan-girlish I want to be today...
Vincent, Rikku, Paine(as a middle name maybe), Rosa, Rinoa, Rydia, Cecil, and Irvine... Sephiroth might be acceptible as a middle name... Maybe...
That's it right off the top of my head... :eye:
:angel:

There's even people who (for the right amount of money) even call their child goldenpalace.com (yes .com!!!).

like yuna or cloud

I pretty think that there are nice names for pets, as others have said. But, gimme a break! FFX-2?!

Riku is a man's name in Finland, and the char "Vaan" means "Just" in finnish.

If i'd have to name my kids after FF characters, I'd pick... hmm... all of those are so fucking rare in here...

It could be worse...
Our neighbors named their dog "Toadstool" after the character from super mario...
poor dog, but at least it wasn't a human, that'd be awful

Kuja :-( :-( :-( .

By the way I know somebody called Terra.

The name "Vivi" could help you at the dinner table:

"Eat your peas or you'll stop working."

Personally I think that naming ones children has its moments. I mean a few of the names arent to bad but there are limits. Like Brother, and i guess Gippal. But I reckon some are ok like Barret, Tifa, Tidus, Wakka(Wakka is the name of my real brother...yes im serious). I just think (in my opinion) that normal names are a bit tiresome, and names like FF characters bring variety.
People naming there kids can have its faults like there is a baby on the news whos parents were Matrix fans and called there baby Zion, and another family called theres Trinity.

...the poor child

Most of the names in X-2 suck. The only okay ones I could think of are Lenne and Paine.

plausible names:
ff7- barett, tifa, vincent, cid, possibly reno, elena
ff8- selphie, irvine
ff9- possibly eiko, well most likely anyway
ff10- lulu, seymour (especially with the last name skinner, hehe)
kh- leon, possibly riku or kairi if you want to be unique

http://www.harrisonhospital.org/whatsnew/nursery.php?action=details&ID=6069
...the poor child

good god...

Some FF names are good for naming a child mostly from FFVIII(Irvine,Julia,Selphie) but i think it's too weird =)
Perhaps u can name ur dog or ur cat i whould! :-(

My next dog's name is going to be Bahamuto. And mayve if I have canaries one of them is going to be kefka and another Zeromus and another necron. A good name fot a cat is Genova

I think its ok to call your pets ff names but i wouldnt do that to my children

In reality, most of the names they use are real names. Tidus, Auron, Squall, Lulu, Rinoa, Rikku, Vincent, Cid, Aeris, Tifa, and Cecil are all names which I have heard in the United States and here in South America. I even know a guy who is named Cloud. Most of the other names, like Yuna, Wakka, Quistis, and such are merely Japanese names. If you were in Japan you would see those names aren't so weird. I would consider naming my kids Tidus, Rikku, Auron, Aeris, Vincent, Rinoa, Tifa, or maybe even Wakka or Quistis. I probably would not go as far though as to name my kid Sephiroth. How would you feel if you were some little kid at school and all of your classmates called you Sephi? Wouldn't you feel a little bit like getting a big sword and fulfilling your role? "Hey, if you're supposed to be Sephiroth, why not go all the way?" But what if they do hate RPG's from then on?
Edit: Terra is also a normal name. Both its spellings are used in the US.
