Not many people realize this, but Strong Bad is clearly Chinese or Korean. Y'know, like Kim Jong-Il is the son of Kim Il-Sung? Bad, Sad, and Mad are the brothers. Strong is the family name. Must've been changed by Immigration to Americanize it.poiumty said:
Depends on whether or not it's a hugely obvious name. Sephiroth? No way. Balthier? or Barret, aka something that doesn't scream 'Final Fantasy'!.

Well, going with "Odin" might be a bit edgy, since he is the god of the gods, war and death. "Thor" - the god of thunder and of disorganised warfare - on the other hand, is a name widely used still, along with variations such as "Thorsten", "Thorvald", "Thorbjørn", "Thorleif", Tore/Tora (male/female). I guess people have been naming their children after the God of Thunder, as they should be associated with strength, and naming children after "Odin" may have been considered direct blasphemy, rather than flattering.Snake Plissken said:

or something like that
well, yeah, I really dont know, I havent played a Final Fantasy game since the SNES one that was set in the Medieval time, when the name Final Fantasy actually made sense =P
Gordon, obviously... Cortana actually isn't a bad name, and I think Sgt. Major Avery Johnson is a pretty kick-arse name. Maybe Sgt. Major Johnson would be his middle name. Erm... Chell?... Big Daddy, perhaps. And of course, Sephiroth. Gotta be.
Oh, yeah, and Boobyface Shepard of Mass Effect fame. (They shouldn't let me edit my character's names, I abuse it so badly.)

I reckon naming my son Fagballs would not go over well for a number of reasons...
But seriously, I'd consider Gordon and/or Freeman. Maybe Scout (if anyone asks, I'll say it's a reference to "To Kill A Mockingbird"). Dell Conagher just sounds odd though.

I proposed naming our hypothetical daughter 'Saria' (in reference to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) to my girlfriend just to gauge her reaction. Surprisingly, she thought it was a beautiful name. I think it's a legitimately pretty name that's unique enough to be memorable without her getting teased mercilessly.
