Kid Named After Everquest Character

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the my-precious-brain dept.

eToychest writes "Sony Online Entertainment just sent notice that some poor baby has been named after a character in EverQuest. Apparently players really, really love this game. Case in point: player Tabitha Ayers gave birth to a baby girl January 6, 2005, and promptly named her Firiona Vie Ayers, in honor of EverQuest's famous spokes-elf. The path to geekdom for this child has aready been paved in 12-sided dice and character sheets." At this point I think it's safe to say that SOE is going to be the cause of the downfall of Civilization.

    As bad as naming your kid after a nearly unpronouncible elf-name from a stupid MMORPG is - the real tragedy here is, what kind of neglect is this poor child going to suffer since her parents are clearly so addicted to a stupid virtual reality world?

    This kid better learn to change her own diaper and prepare her own baby bottles quickly.

  2. At least I have a Jr. at the end of MY name... by dauthur · · Score: 5, Funny

    Isn't this the same as the guy who named his child "2.0" instead of "Junior"? I can't really expect much more creativity... next people are going to name their kids "Apple" and "Moonunit".

    "But mommy, why did you name me Trogdor?"
