Would you ever name your kid after an MK character?

[John Grizzly]

I always wanted to name a son Jackson and call him Jax, until every white trash parent started naming their kid that.

 

[Mind Flex]

This is dumb. There is nothing wrong with naming your kid anything you want. Name him John Smith or Ja'qweenathan Sharpedo Milkduds Jr. Just do you.

Some MK names are actual decent names. I'm not gonna call my kid Sub-Zero or something but maybe I could name it "John" because that's a family name but I'm not naming the kid after Johnny Cage or anything. I'm not a huge Mileena fan, but I think that is a pretty decent name for a girl. I just don't wanna doom the poor thing to being a meme or an edgy weeb. My dumpster hoe ass cousin gave her kid the shittiest name ever and all it will ever do for him is get him made fun of, so no thanks.

Basically any of the MK names that are also normal sounding names, why not? Just don't name your kid Tremor or something.

Just curious lol. I had this discussion with my friends, they think I'd totally do it and also think I'm nuts if I did it. However, I told them that a lot of names in MK are actual real names and besides there's real names out there that sound even more ridiculous than MK names, video game names in general.

I mean not saying I'd name a son "Cyrax" lol but Stryker is a legit name so is Hanzo or Johnny etc.

Anyway, discuss. Think it's a big deal? Think it's crazy? Not a big deal at all?

Only one... Jax. Because the name Jackson Briggs is Metal as fuck and is socially acceptable, lol.

I don't think it's dumb to ask for opinions on the matter. I mean it's not like someone wants to name their kid "shitface" they can legally but probably wouldn't be a great idea. There are some people who think naming your kid after a character from a series is dumb, though I agree with you that as long as it's a valid name who cares?

My daughter is named Sindel. Sindel is her first name... not the middle name, the first name.

I named her and my wife also loved the name.

 

[Darth-Nero]

...anyways lil Raiden Quan, That's how i met your mother.

 

[Zaccel]

Not after any one character, though I had thought about naming a kid after one of the OG actors in the past (usually Richard Divizio).

Is she a screamy kid?

 

[Pterodactyl]

Not really, but I named my cat after an MK character.

RIP Kintaro.

That is god damn amazing.

This post made me think about naming a son “Goro” and for some reason I’m absolutely losing shit laughing about it.

“Yeah, this is my little bundle o’joy, Goro, he’s my little prince yes he is.”

I know it’s also a Japanese name IRL but still.

She's 4, so yeah she's got quite the attitude too.

 

[_xFriction]

Raven (teen titans) jade ( mk ) is my 6 yo name

 

[Jimmypotato]

I have a son named Jax, spelled Jax. If we would have had a second girl it would have been Kitana. He loves his name, and currently kicks his older brother Anakins ass in Injustice 2 and Killer instinct, little young for MK yet, but in like 7 or so years would be awesome if he mains Jax lol

 

[vapid]

I always liked Evelyn as a girl's name.

 

[Wrenchfarm]

Probably not an MK character, but little ALEXander has a ring to it...

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

What if you just happen to have the same name as a MK character? (more or less)

 

[ChatterBox]

Someone named Baraka legit ran for vp of the US in 2016 so anythings cool after that. Mokap Shujinko will be a healthy child.

 

[GLoRToR]

I named my son "Ya"

 

[KillerKombatX]

Huh i wasnt thinking about it before reading this thread but as i was i realized how much i like the name Sareena.

I used to work with a Serena. lol I believe she was swedish.

 

[Eddy Wang]

I would name my daughter Adalgisa so i could call her "Ada Wang" if i don't see anything wrong with this, there is nothing wrong on naming kids after MK Characters tho.

He (Ras Baraka) is the mayor of newark NJ currently...lol

oh I'm aware now, but when first read about the candidates and saw the name my brain almost exploded.

 

[Vslayer]

I would probably name a baby girl Sonya or Cassie and a boy Johnny or Jackson.

Awee, that's nice. I've always liked Jade, Tanya and Mileena or Sareena. Plus the more unique the name the better. Skarlet's a cool name too, though I've never seen one with a K but C.
