If you had one (or more) children, what would

[Sebenko]

I would call one Scout Blu and the other Heavy Red and then they would fight and only one would remain and then I'd throw them off a bridge. Because it would be funny. And I'd wear a paper mask with one of the kid's faces on it and see how long it would be before someone said I was a spy.

 

[Rednog]

Boy: Roy G Biv
Girl: Kerrigan

lol I wonder if Valve ever thought about naming their cast for reals.

 

[T5seconds]

Mister Wiggler,
for either gender
Hey its kind of a cute sounding name

Rember in a time where you LIKE KIDS...

I can see your children disowning you right now...

EDIT: I just got the best idea for my sons name...

KHANNNNNNN

My daughters name?

Anna...

 

[AnneSQF]

Girl: Chell
Boy: Gordon XD

 

[Steel Ronin]

Ummm Gordon or either Soap - best name evar

 

[Admiral Stukov]

A boy I would name Tiberius.
And I think I would go for Alyx for a girl.
And my cat would be called schrödinger (google it if you don't know it).
Yes I'm a huge nerd <.<

 

[The Hairminator]

Girl: Cheryl, Heather, Alyx, Alma, Leannah, Xana, Linda, Rebecca.
Boy: Jim, Sareth, Wrex, Gordon and Altaïr.

 

[WolfThomas]

I was always found of Ianto (Welsh for Jack) and Lafayette as boy's names, funnily enough I then became a fan of two television shows where gay characters have those names (Torchwood and True Blood)

Figure I'll trade the girl's names to the mothers for a chance at those two (and yes I've been told that's not how it works by women, but hey it's worth a shot).

 

[RPQ]

Boys: Mal/Malcom, Jefferson/Jeff, Ian, Toshihiro, Tamaki, Darien
Girls: Sara Jane, Zoe, Aria, Toshiko, Raye, Mia

 

[AWC Viper]

the lone wanderer for both male and female.

or Sarah/alyx/"Generic female name here" for a female

or Niko/Gordon/soap/roach for a male.

or 3dog.

 

[DracoSuave]

Jesus. Some of these names.... I thought you're supposed to -LOVE- these kids?

Why don't you just take the child to the playground and beat the crap out of them yourselves.


Look. At some point, this kid's going to be an adult, and is going to have to get a job.

Now, as much as you'd think in an ideal world this isn't the case...

But Roach McTavish is far less likely to be hired for anything than Robert McTavish.

No one is going to hire Sandwichwant to do anything. Even make sandwiches at Subway.

And some of these girls' names... well they'll get hired. As strippers or in porn. But at least they won't need to make their name campy!

I can't stand the name Kratos anymore... Not after another WoW player stole a very valuable item from me with the same name...
Yet at the same time, it is a cool name... Where'd it come from?

It's the name of the Greek Titan of Strength, sided with Zeus against Kronus.

 

[Thaius]

If two twin boys, Mario and Luigi.

If a girl, either Samus or Jade.

If a boy, Jak, Tidus, Sora, Raiden, or Cecil.

These are all video game references, of course. In actuality, I think I might name my son Gideon: a rarely used name with a pretty awesome Biblical background. Not sure about a girl's name. I must admit, Jade would be a great name...

 

[Steindorh]

I actually had a "discussion" about this stretching over a few months with an ex-girlfriend of mine. We didn't have any kids, but I got loads of ideas for names. Here are a few of them, and I'll translate them as best I can (seeing as how they're all in Icelandic):

EDIT : in Iceland we don't have last names, so any child of mine would be Steindórsson or Steindórsdóttir (son of Steindór, daughter of Steindór).

Girls' names:

Freyja Líf Steindórsdóttir (Freyja, goddess of love and fertility, Líf = Life)
Iðunn Von Steindórsdóttir (Iðunn, the goddess of youth and keeper of the Æsir's apples, the name literally means "forever young", Von = Hope)

Some others I quite like would be "Laufey" (literal translation : Eternal Leaf, or An Island of Leaves), Folda (literal translation : One who is of the earth or Motherland) and Gersemi (literal translation : Treasure or Treasured One).

Boys' names:

Baldur Dreki Steindórsson (Baldur is the god of light and happiness, Dreki = Dragon)
Höður Galdur Steindórsson (Höður is Baldur's brother, and could be seen as something of a patron saint of the blind, Galdur = a spell, an enchantment, or just magic in general)

Some others I quite like : Fáfnir (son of dwarf king Hreiðmar he became a dragon to guard the cursed gold of Andvari after his brother was murdered), Kveldúlfur (literal translation : Night-wolf or Wolf of the Twilight, he was a famous warrior) and Grettir (a fabled warrior and outlaw in Iceland, reputed to be so strong that stones moved by glaciers all over the country are still called "Grettistak"(Grettir's grip).

 

[SonicKoala]

For a girl, I'd name them Naomi, a name that I've really really liked ever since I played MGS 1.

For a boy, I'd name them either James (influenced by Silent Hill), Matthew (a name I just like for some reason), or Travis (another name I just really like).

 

[Julianking93]

I already like children, so I'll just stay in this dimension.

I'll probably end up naming them something weird and unique and most likely after a video game character.

Girl: Sayu, Eva, or Naomi

Boy: Nero, Sora, or Cloud

 

[Hybrid Sight]

If I had a boy it would be Leon. If it was a girl I would name her Sophia.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

For a boy? Possibilities: Link, Raziel, Kain, Ganon(dorf), Cthulu... You know what? Scratch those last two.
For a girl? Possibilities: Zelda, Midna, Navi, Alyx, Kelda, Ocheeva... No, wait, not Ocheeva(unless she's got scales)
