From a financial point of view naming your kid Modern Warfare would be the best option. That'll save you $60 yearly.

They didn't call him Skyrim, they called him Dovahkiin. It wouldn't be like calling your kid Modern Warfare, it would be like calling your kid John Price.

Jeez did you read it?

Thats awesome. I'm going to adopt a kid and name him/her "Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3" Hopefully I'll get a lifetime supply of DLC.

Sucks for the kid. He's stuck with a dumb*** name just so his parents can save some money.

He can have it changed later in life.

Even so, I feel bad for the kid. I'd hate the have parents like that.

Kids classmate: "Your name is weird, how did your parents come up with it ??"

Kid: "My parents named me this because Bethesda posted on the internet that they'd get free games :|"

As much as I enjoy Skyrim I would never name my kid after a video game charecter, I think that's going a bit too far....

But in all honesty I think this story is BS, it just seems fake. Who would name their child Dovhakin? Really?

You would be surprised, I know there were quite a few people actually considering this when they announced this little "fun" game.

I would like someone to have triplets, and name them (in order of when they came out) Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, and Modern Warfare 3.

And to add to this story I'd love someone to ask the parents of those triplets "How do you tell them apart?"

Alduin is a really good name, sounds just as regular as Andrew or something... I wonder if i'd get free games from Bethesda for that.

Well at least the name sounds kinda badass. And the name could be good for picking up girls.
