Parents Name Child Dovahkiin on 11.11.11

Loud Mouthed Gamers: Well Bethesda threw down the challenge months ago: name your child which is born on 11/11/11, the Skyrim release date, Dovahkiin and receive free Bethesda games for life. It's happened.

[omi25p]

That child shall forever hate his parents.

[Forbidden_Darkness]

Why would he hate his parents? It's better then naming him a common name like Michael or whatever. I'd love to be named a cool name like that. Wouldn't matter to me if people made fun of my name.

[Bigpappy]

Dovahkiin, is a unique and very cool name. Both of my kids have unique names. I think Dovahkiin will work well with the ladies, its a strong name.

[TheFirstClassic]

Because the only reason he recieved that name was so the parents could get free stuff. They care more about free games than the actual name of their kid.

[bunfighterii]

'Whos my namesake mum?'
'A video game character.'

This is fail parenting. What losers.

[ronin4life]

Ehh, it did work out well for Zelda and Robin...
But even so, I aways cry a little inside when I here news like this.
Anyone remember the parents who named thier kid "Like"...after the facebook button?

[dark-hollow]

Easy, just claims that he is russian.

[grailly]

unless he plays skyrim :P

[Pozzle]

"Ehh, it did work out well for Zelda and Robin..."

To be fair, Zelda is a real name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[Pikajew]

What bad parents. When you name a kid it should be after a family member not a game character so you can get free stuff

[Scizz]

Ugh, I think everyone is just gonna call him Tom, so it's no big deal.

[-Alpha]

Better than naming him after a Twilight character

[coolbeans]

Or someone on Jersey Shore

[Kran]

Or Justin Bieber.... ¬¬

[iXenon]

I think Dovahkiin is a badass name...

[ronin4life]

Maybe, but for a real life person in most places, not really.

[BuT_TeR]

The kid will appreciate it when he gets Elder Scrolls 8 for free on his PS5.

[DonaldBeck]

id name it altair or something

[bunfighterii]

'it'? And no. Nobody should be named after a video game character.

[DonaldBeck]

yes it, i said IT. sue me.

[Kran]

I mean if it was a matter of life and death, like if I HAD to choose a video game character for my son, i'd name him over a common name. Like Marcus (Gears of War), or Drake (Uncharted) or Alan (Alan Wake), not names like Kratos (God of War), Altair (Assassin's Creed) and of course Dovahkiin.

[DarkSymbiote]

There is nothing wrong with Altair and Kratos. Dovahkiin is taking it too far.

[Kran]

Could you imagine it?

Some guy: Bethesda, somebody named their child Dovahkiin on 11/11/11.

Bethesda: HOLY S**T SOMEBODY ACTUALLY DID IT? WE WERE ONLY JOKING.... um.... now we actually got to give them their prizes.... sigh.

[bunfighterii]

Thanks for the life story mistr.

[CrimsonEngage]

Haters are just hating that the kid now has a cool name which translates to Dragonborn. Bad parents? I wish my parents were that cool. :(

[Rivitur]

Better than the name of many other cultures seriously some people have 2 qq's in their names along with ks. Also better than misspelled names so I think its a great name that actually has a meaning and story behind it.

[gypsygib]

I bet people will just call him Tom...or Dovah, which may sound worse.

Now I want to see how low people can go for free stuff, I bet there's no name that someone wouldn't name their kid for the right incentive.
