Isn't that culturally intensive? Not every Italian is named Mario.

Not every Italian is not named Mario. So you're being culturally insensitive.

I believe there are.

I'm doubting anyone named their child Rad, though.

Also I knew a kid in school named Mario.

Link is actually a real name IIRC. Not common by any means, but it exists.

One thing I keep amusing myself with is if any of these kids ended up fat. Like a fat kid named Sonic would be hilarious.

Also, I think a kid named Doomguy would be very popular.

There is a difference between naming them after a character and naming them based on inspiration of a nice name from a video game.

No, it's backwards. Making a normal, bland, boring and mundane username isn't enough, some people name their children John, Lucy, or Michael. They're doomed to bear a despicably commonplace name.

The secret is to name them after a character that not everyone associates with a video game.

Could always name your kid David after Solid Snake.

Anyhoo, as long as the name isn't zany I don't see why it wouldn't be cool to name your kid after a VG character.

If you want him to get beat up for having a nerdy name, then name him Miles, sure.

Miles is a normal name. The only people that know it's a Phoenix Wright character aren't going to be people that beat anyone up.
