Naming your children after video game characters is cringey as fuck. At least wait until the stigma is totally gone. Video games still are for losers. (that's what many think not me) You know that, right? Just because twitch happened and you see a bunch of goobers looking confident doesn't mean the cringe isn't happening.

And alike someone else said, have some respect for their individuality. They might grow up to hate Zelda. Maybe they agreed with Gannon. Did you ever think of that? Maybe they want to be evil.

You do realize Zelda was a name before the 80s, right?

Here is the conundrum. While the wife won't allow daughter #2 to be named "Zelda II" I am trying to get her to agree on Ripley.

We know its Ellen's last name in Alien franchise, we know it's not Ridley from Metroid. It's just a cool name.

So what do you think is Ripley a good name for a daughter?

Ok, Zelda isn't bad, but why in the fuck are you pushing your hobby onto your kids like that, as least be fair and make it a middle name like the other poster did

Ever hear of Zelda Fitzgerald? Or did you know Zelda was in the top 1000 baby names from the 1900's to 1940's...

It's not just a game characters name...

Trying to get my wife to name our second daughter (coming Feb '18) Zelda II
