My daughter is named after my wife's first PC!

Anyone here got kids named after D&D characters?

I don't personally, but I know two sisters who named their kids after their elven characters from way back in the day. The only one I can remember is Sindel. The other two sound like stereotyped Elvish names. You know those kids never have lunch money once they get to school.

Well I named my son after a very memorable character of mine, a dark elf worshipper of Eilistraee, Malachi Helviiryn.

His name is Malachi Anthony.[insert last name]

Erin is a pretty name for a girl. Thank goodness its not Lothar of the Hill People or something else equally horrifying. A million possibilities went thru my head before clicking on the thread.

One of my players had a character in an old campaign that had a wardog named Shadow. Later, the same friend's family got a dog and named it Shadow. He denies the connection, but come on.

No one I know actually has kids named after characters. I would consider doing the pet thing maybe, but I'd shy away from naming my kids anything from D&D.

A friend of mine named their daughter Serra Angelica [Laste Name]. I don't know if he ever told his wife that she was named after a Magic card (I guess she thought it was a novel spelling).

If I have a son one day, my plan is to name him Plato, because it's a good "geek" name, and I have an excuse - he'd be named after my grandfather.

No name is safe.

"What about 'Bart'?"

"Hmmm... 'Aart', 'Cart', 'Dart', 'Eart'. Seems fine!"

Two things,

1) Barf

2) The base name for Bart is Bartholomew(sp?)...lord help you if your sixth grade class finds that out.

I, too, would generally stay away from giving my child a first name that was too fantasy inspired, although middle names are fair game, if I could get my (non-gaming) wife to agree.

Um... Go one more letter down the line: Fart.

I'm never having kids but if I did, I would not be opposed to naming a daughter Djeta or Rhiann.
