Children's Names
 

So every once in awhile some parents decide to name their kid in reference to a movie, book, game, or tv show. However it would seem to me that it's not until whatever it is has sort of slipped out of societies eye. So what I'm getting at is when do you think we are going to see our first Neytiri or our first Cortana?

I bet we've got some in South America or Africa: there poor people tend to put names of what they see on TV or cinemas. For example, I met a Colombian girl called Iloveny (for those who don't get it, Iloveny = I Love NY).

in about 5 months.

I think naming a child is a bit too 'far'. Now a pet or an animal....Put it this way, if I get another dog, it's going to be called Seze.

My only worry would be that they would google their name and "oh look I'm named after a 10 foot blue alien" or something like that.

You could call your son Jake?

Well, why not. Neytiri is a beautiful name :)

I know several people named Jake that I hate, and it seems to common.

My parents always claimed to have named me after James Bond but only in a joking manor.

That is beside the point.

I've known 2 people called Jake. One was someone I knew years ago and was annoying, and one is a friend I know now who's a great guy, so it varies :P

Yah I know.

I would never name a child after a movie character. I think that just sets the child up for teasing from other children.

for as far as i have read there are already children named after the movies. Neytiri and Toruk..... it was in the dutch news only a few weeks after the release of our beloved movie....
