how cool would it be if a police officer stopped me and asked me for my name and I said my name is Vegeta, im seriously 100% thinking of doing it, why not? Its time for the future, names should be treated like gamertags, people should start being called what they want to be called. Enough of this 1900's "John" "Nick", this is the future.

I already have a cool name, so no need for me. But if my name was John or David or something, I definitely would get myself a real life gamer tag. Vegeta or Goku seems cool. Me, though, I'd go with Zeus.

If I met you and you told me that was your name, I would think your parents were lame for calling you that. Then when you told me it was you that changed your name, I would think you were an idiot.

Kind of harsh, don't you think? Why do we all have to have conventional names in order not to be made fun of? It's stupid as hell. We need awesome names like Hrothgar, Valthena, Belethor, Elisefer, Barthandelus, Onix, Samael and stuff like that.

I was talking to a friend yesterday who mentioned that in Denmark (I think, I might be wrong) there is a set list of names that you can call your child. You can't choose anything outside of those names :?

That's a good idea. You can also add Prince in your name, and people will call you Prince Vegeta. How cool is that.

Most police officers would probably have no clue about that name, but go for it.

Ah it can be a nice little catch that random people can latch onto about you ... they may laugh sometimes but it has it's benefits in social situations. I wouldn't do it personally but if you really wanna give it a try then go for it, you can always change it back later.

It willdraw a lot of negative attention to yourself. But I totally appreciate the idea. We need more individuality in this world. I say if it's what you want, do it.

Being kooky for the sake of kooky isn't individuality. It's called being Zooey Deschanel in any movie she's been in.

The act of being kooky is not what I'm refering too. It's deciding your own name, rather than going by what others have decided to name you. Where I live, half the women are named Ashley. Totally serious. And two-thirds of the girlsI dated were named Ashley. And they usually hate that they share their name with so many others. It's boring. If we chose our own names, there might be more diversity. The fact that he's naming it after a character in an anime is also significant, it speaks to who he is. He is a fan of that series. It's an expression of whohe is, just like a tattoo is for others. Or the style of dress is for someone else. Right now, I happen to be wearing a t-shirt bearing a triforce symbol. That says something about me. I'm a gamer. More notably, I enjoy The Legend of Zelda games. My name, however, does not. My name's Darren. That tells you nothing about me.

Your name means nothing. Literally nothing. Its your actions that define you. I have a common name, dont give a **** to be honest. There's nothing wrong with being an individual, but changing your name to Goku seems a bit forced to me and will have mainly negative effects. I really want a Triforce shirt now too :)

Lets see, whether you should be a virgin forever and embrace that by changing your name to that of a semi popular old action cartoon, or just NOT do that?

Its up to you, but as you said, you might want to move out of your parent's house before making any life changing choices bud.

It will have negative effects. Depending on his future career, it may hurt his chances of being hired as well. In an interview, I would not wear any of my gamer, comic, or movie t-shirts. (I've got a wardrobe full of them.) I wear a shirt and tie. But he has to reveal his name. Although employers should not base anything on it, it may be held against him. It all depends on the job he's applying for.

But as for your actions defining you: in this instance, choosing his own name is an action. So by your own definition, it defines him.

Hm i guess i agree with you there but my point was you shouldn't really care about your name. In my opinion anyway

yeah the nicknames from dbz are actually food names and kakarot is actually karrot and vegeta is actually vegetable.
