The Parents Who Name Their Kids After Final Fantasy Characters

The people who fell for Final Fantasy in its glory years when it was huge on the NES, Super NES and then the PlayStation are now adults. They’re having kids, and they’re the kinds of people who just might name their daughter Aeris or their son Kain.

[SeanScythe]

My daughters middle name is Nami, from One Piece. I wanted Aeris but my wife didn't like it.

[zeal0us]

Aeris>Nami all day erryday

[SeanScythe]

I wanted to but she had final approval. I told her if we had a 2nd daughter it would be.

[MRMagoo123]

my daughter is named Rinoa , from final fantasy 8

[Skankinruby]

My second boy was born Christmas morning, if I tried naming him Noctis I'd be signing divorce papers right now lol

[FullmetalRoyale]

Congratulations. What name did you guys go with?

[Skankinruby]

Appreciate it, ended up with Maddox

[FullmetalRoyale]

That's a good, strong name. :)

[_-EDMIX-_]

Lol!

Congratulations!

[SarcasticDuck]

congrats, so she accepts Maddox but not Noctis? lol

[Skankinruby]

Yeah, believe me I don't get it either lol

[Army_of_Darkness]

One of Angelina Jolie's child's name, that's why it was okay ;)

[Pozzle]

Remember the kid whose parents named him Sephiroth? He's ten years old now. Wonder how people react to his name:

Guarantee you his birthday is going to be a lit when the Final Fantasy 7 remake releases!

[Spenok]

My first born's middle name is Zelda.

[Onenyte]

Named my first daughter after my favourite Dark Souls Boss

Freya (Dukes Dear Freja)

[NukaCola]

That is the Viking goddess of love and beauty.

[Onenyte]

Yeah i know lol

Also the hero I use in Smite

[zodiac909]

Those kids are going to have a hard time in school LOL

[PaulKersey]

Yeah, by people with names that make the "top baby names" list every year (boring with no creativity).

[zodiac909]

Agreed, but on that note, simply copying names from game character is also a lack of creativity, they should put a little variation on the names aswell.

[DragonKnight]

Like Le-a. The dash don't be silent.

[Fist4achin]

Does I count that every time I pass gas, my name could be Cloud Strife?!

[Artemidorus]

No one considering Yojimbo then?

[DragonKnight]

If you think about it, that sounds like a really redneck name.

[GusBricker]

One of my son's friends at school is named Cloud, but she's a girl and her parents are most likely hippies, because they have another daughter named Rain.

[nRicosS]

My first son born at November 27th 2016.
I named him Caelum :)

[quent]

Guts if its a boy, Rei if its a girl

[_-EDMIX-_]

I'm going to go all out and name my son Big Boss lol

Ima be like " his first name is all one word, BigBoss, followed by last name" lol

[KimikoGaming]

I think as far as video game names go, if I had a girl I'd name her Zelda (Legend of Zelda) or Elise (Tales of Xillia). If I had a boy I'd name him Kain (Final Fantasy IV. Not Cain from the bible), or Joel (The Last of Us).

[Deadpooled]

I'm planning to name (whichever shows up) my first son Luke and my first daughter Leia (no prizes for guessing the reference), but if it's too obvious to my wife or family (my family certainly would not like it especially my mother who despises Star Wars, don't know why because the original trilogy is a cinematic masterpiece) I would definitely choose from gaming characters or Dragonball Z. At the very least I would add it as an extra middle name.

[Umbasa]

My youngest daughters name is BASED off Rinoa from Final Fantasy 8
Her name is Riona.
My son Logan (obvious) and my oldest Alexia from Code Veronica

[MRMagoo123]

my daughter who's 5 this year is named Rinoa the teachers all seem to love the name at school and most of the mum's

[Lon3wolf]

My youngest is called Tifa, funnily enough the wife chose it (she is not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination, smart phones are still a mystery to her) after watching FF 7 AC with me.

[DragonKnight]

Tifa's fight scene in that movie was epic and I'd imagine your wife would like to have your daughter grow up to be that badass herself hence the name choice. Not a bad name either. Could have been Umaro. XD

[Lon3wolf]

It was indeed (I thought all of the fight scenes were good really), I doubt she would of chosen Cloud if we'd had a boy :D
