NovotinePosted 11/9/2012 11:41:47 AM | ya do it |
AuraOfSouls (Topic Creator) Posted 11/9/2012 11:45:32 AM | I feel weird about it because we have an English last name, but I guess that would be normal for generations to have names start melding together. |
_Rushdown_Posted 11/9/2012 11:52:41 AM | That would be ridiculous. The name itself not matching the child's ethnicity is bad enough, but being named after a video game character would be pretty embarassing as well. --- http://www.xboxgamertag.com/gamercard/lRushdown/fullnxe/card.png |
NovotinePosted 11/9/2012 11:55:59 AM | ^ what an idiot.
just do it man. altair goes well with most white last names |
AuraOfSouls (Topic Creator) Posted 11/9/2012 11:56:46 AM | I really try not to consider ethnicity, but thank you for your opinion. As far a naming after a game goes. I really don't see the problem in it. The name has more meaning behind it than that. Look it up. |
_Rushdown_Posted 11/9/2012 11:59:19 AM (edited) | You don't consider ethnicity? Well I hope your kid and his schoolmates are understanding. If you're white, you should also Mustafa and Shaniqua lol --- http://www.xboxgamertag.com/gamercard/lRushdown/fullnxe/card.png |
pillerofautumnPosted 11/9/2012 12:00:20 PM | With an English last name, Altair would sound weird. It's a unique name, and it will make him stand out in a bad way. Expect him to get picked on regularly. If you're ok with this, then go right ahead. |
