What’s in a name?
Sometimes I wonder what parents are thinking about nowadays when they decide to name their children really crazy names. With the popularity of video games, I have to say that I won’t be too surprised down the road in the near future to learn that a lot of babies are named after video game characters. I can imagine that my grandaughtersmight be named Lara or Zelda! Or my grandson’s named Link or Simon! I don’t know anyone personally that has been named after a video game, and to be honest I haven’t heard of any famous people doing that either. But then again I probably just don’t keep up on the celebrity news as much as a lot of people do! As much as our son loves video games, I can imagine he might name his daughter Chun-Li!
I do find it interesting, as the business of video games evolve that people can easily download games from the Internet now, and not have to go to a brick and mortar store to buy their own copy. The sheer number of video games out on the market now are mind-boggling! Naturally, our son needs to have every system imaginable, and all of the role-playing games that they sell! I think that downloading games is a good idea; our house is starting to be over-crowded with game cartridges and game CDs – storing them all has become a true challenge!
