What would you call your child?

Is there a reason this is hypothetical, as opposed to what did you call your child, or is it based on an assumption that people here don't have children?
For a boy, Zack. For a girl, Sophie. I like the sound of both of them.

For a boy, I like the ring of Sebastian Lestat (first and middle name, obviously). Other possible first names include:
Vincent
Gideon
Elliot
or Artemis

Reading this thread, I'm loathe to think what would happen if some of these people actually had kids... *sneaks sideways glance at Vaash Vincent*
For the love of [insert deity here] don't name your kid after a damn video game character, because I can guarantee little Noob Saibot isn't going to think it half as clever as you did; also, avoid the "most popular name" bandwagon, because the last thing you want is for thirty snot nosed little bastards to come running when you holler for Logan.
I named my daughter Persephone Christine Rose Medlin. Had she been a he, he would've been Odin Robert Alexander (Here's hoping for the next one). I had two major influences in thinking of these names, and don't misunderstand me, my wife weighed in heavily as well, but I can't speak to her though process...anyway.
1. In the course of a six year period over one thousand girls were named "Unique". Fucking FAIL.

2. "In the age of super-boredom, hype and mediocrity" I want my children to have every edge they can. Persephone is a powerful name, and I hope it will serve her well in life; by the same token I know that kids are assholes, hence the "common" middle names, so, in eleven years when she hates her daddy and the stupid name he gave her, she can go by Christine (and variances thereof) or Rose until she decides otherwise; same goes for little Odin, whenever he decides to show up.
Just do me a favor? If you have a girl, don't buy into the trend and name her Skyler; it's an American bastardization of Schuyler, a Danish name for boys.
EDIT: Realized, after I got off my soapbox, that I'd forgotten to include the number on the list where one could find the hard evidence of the 1,026 people who'd named their daughter "Unique", and I went back to find it, only to discover that this is the new list with last years numbers figured into it as well...it seems "Unique" is unique again...whoops.

A girl, Amelia Eleanor. A boy Edward Paul. Amelia, I really like, Eleanor, Edward and Paul are all relatives names. Of course there are also Marthas, Thelmas, Kimberlys, Tamaras, Leleahs, Marys, Josephines, Thomases, Theodores, Francises, Lawrences and etc, etc, etc. (Oh yeah...guess the denomination...)
So, do none of you actually have kids? I can't be the only parent on the Escapist...
How about Damnit. Then you won't even have to remember their name when you are ready to dole out the beatings.

monodiabloloco, I'm a parent too. Naming our kids was fun. Caedmon Cid, Celes Elizabeth, and Cait Danielle. Cyan was the only name we had on our list (for a boy) and didn't use. People even think they're nice names, and don't look at me weird until I tell them they're from games. (Well, Caedmon isn't that I know of, but still...)
Those of you who want to use the popular names, think of my son's class of 18 kids- THREE TYLERS! I think there's a girl name repeated too. Please, there are normal sounding names that aren't that common, or are common any more. I don't think there's been a single Jennifer in any of the NINE classes my kids have been in, for instance.
