Hey everyone! I’m super excited to share that I’m having a baby boy and I’m on the hunt for a name inspired by Nintendo games. I’m thinking along the lines of characters or places from iconic titles like The Legend of Zelda or Pokémon. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Honestly, I think a regular name is safer. Imagine being an adult named Pikachu—might not work out so well! If you really want a nod, names like Ash or Daisy are great and still recognizable.
Exactly! You can make it work with moderate names but still keep that gaming charm.
Congrats! I like the idea of using names like Lucas from Mother or Roy from Fire Emblem. They are grounded enough but still carry that gaming legacy!
Solid choices! Also, names like Roy or Ike sound cool without being too flashy.
Or you could just go for a classic like Red from Pokémon—it’s iconic!
You could go with something like Ganondorf, Waluigi, or even Kirby! There are lots of names from Pokémon too, like Lucas or Ethan. Just make sure it’s a name that your child can live with long-term.
Yeah, just be careful with the more out-there names like Tingle or Waluigi. They might not age well! But a name like Link could work as a cool nod to Zelda.
Totally! A name like Mario is also familiar and fun without being too off-the-wall.
I think it’s kind of fun to incorporate your love for gaming into your child’s name, but maybe stick to names that won’t attract too much attention. Like, Flynn from Xenoblade could work!
Totally! A name like Zelda is beautiful and classic, plus associations with cultural figures like Zelda Williams help.
Yeah, just something that doesn’t sound too strange like Onix or something.
True, but I think subtle references can be cool. Lincoln as a nickname for Link is a clever idea!
