    Default Parents name their newborn son Dovahkiin and gain life-time supply of Bethesda games

    So, maybe this is old news, but i found this particularly lolworthy

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...Baby-Dovahkiin


    The Dragonborn has come
    What makes a real American? A cowboy hat? Enjoying a fine T-bone
    steak? Going to a baseball game? Shooting a gun? Maybe it’s the freedom to go
    into a poor country and tell them how to do things?! Heh! Those are all great
    qualities! But one thing that makes a true patriot is the ability to choose
    an American car! When you buy an import you take a hot meal off a hard
    working American’s table. There, there! This poor girl is going
    to starve to death, just because you bought a cheaper, more efficient
    Maibazu. Without gross symbols of excess, what will Americans have to look up
    to? Our great industries is a threaten! Cars, pornography, armaments! And
    they need your help! So the next time you buy a car, a piece of adult
    literature or a missile defense system! Make sure you do the American thing!

    My child's middle name shall be Septim! And he shall fulfill the prophecy by defeating Mehrunes Dagon by lighting the Drasgonfires!

    "Seven" is an excellent name?

    That's worse than when I got the name 'Ashur (tenth) in Arabic class.

    Anything with a roman sound in is excellent. Primus, Secundus, Sextus, Septimus, whatever.

    If i were doing arabic, i would want my name to be Ras al-Ghul.

    Why, you little traitor... nothing is cooler than Dovahkiin. Well... Indoril Nerevar, Dagoth, Vivec and Almalexia for girls maybe, but still.... Dovahkiin.... far better than Araporn.

    Aragorn just rolls off the tongue, Dovahkiin sounds awkward no matter how ya say it. For his sake hopefully no one will remember Skyrim by the time he's in middle school.

    That has to be the most stupid name I've ever... And I just remembered that my name is the Slavic version of the name that honors the Greek Godess of fertility.

    Dovahkiin is actually kinda cool.

    There are cooler names out of the Elder Scrolls lore they could have picked. I wonder what they call him though, Dova or Dov maybe. Eh, those aren't too bad.

    I'd be really, really pissed with my parents if they did that to me.


    That's just incredibly mean.

    Girl: "So what's your name?"
    Boy: "Dovahkiin."
    Girl: "Oh, that's unusual. Where's it from?"
    Boy: "It's an obscure video game reference from twenty years ago."
    Girl: "Oh..."

    Wouldn't it be awesome if his first words were: "FUS RO DAH!"
