  • Parents Name NewBorn after game

    This seems interesting enough to be posted as news. Although with the site being PS3 related, this would be interesting to share. It seems that gamer parents Megan and Eric Kellermeyer took it upon themselves to name their newborn, after the main character of Skyrim, Dovakhlin. With that being said, the mom and pop had entered a competition hosted by Bethesda software works, stating that if a child was born on the same day as the release of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, to name their child after the main character of the game, that is Dovakhlin. The winning prize was a life time supply of games that were released by Bethesda Softworks. However, no family member had objected to the name that was given to the baby, as well as Megan's mom stating it "being cool". Here is a quoted statement from the mother's blog.



    We've toyed with Dovahklin and the ramifications of naming a child that name, and that name being based on a video game character (however awesome), and what impact that would have on him. But the more I thought of it, the more I settled on Dovahklin, contest or no. It helps that we told all our friends and family and very few are opposed to the idea. My mom thought it was neat! He will have a perfectly normal and common middle name if the first name becomes too much for him or us or we just want to call him a nickname
    We see the baby's full name now to be Dovahklin Tom Kellermeyer. That is all for now. I would like you the members of PSX-Scene to give your opinions as to whether they have taken the right choice in naming their baby after the game character, and if they have made a smart move on winning the competition set foot by Bethesda Softworks.

      People name their kids after months of the year, days of the week, states, counties, cities, and; in some rare cases, infectious diseases. When I first read the topic I thought they named their kid Skyrim. However since it's going to be Dovahklin, all I can say is awesome. I wouldn't mind naming my first boy Link, or if it's a girl, Zelda. I'd even consider Midna. It beats the heck out of Justin or Brittany.

      My wife and I named our daughter Sega. I threw a hundred names at my wife and Sega was the first to make her exclaim in agreement.

      That is even better than name him NATHAN DRAKE and make him a weird eyes transplant from brown to blue.

      Kingdom Hearts 1/2 and some other Spin offs to tie up loose ends...not to mention FF 7,10,12,13.

      All of which have amazing characters with possible names for me

      I would've gone with Skyrim, rather than Dovahklin, but I see the kid is a boy. Skyrim would be better if it was a girl.
