Parents name child after 'Skyrim' character By Chris Morris 1 Plugged In- 17 hours ago Recommend 11k ·Tweet 113 -Emal Pmt Here's a good way to ensure your kid gets his lunch money stolen on a regular basis. Meet Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer. That's right, Dovahkiin. As in, the protagonist of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Born 11/11/11the same day that the game was released-he's made his family the winners (?) of a contest that ensures free Bethesda games for life. Bethesda, in a publicity stunt announced in February, promised lifelong free games to anyone who named their child (which had to be born on 11/11) after the character. Whether the company expected anyone to take it up on the offer is another matter entirely Megan and Eric Kellermeyer did just that, though. Dovahkin Tom Kellermeyer In a blog post, the parents acknowledge the name could cause their son some issues, but say it's one they truly love and likely would have chosen even if Bethesda hadn't launched the contest. I wanted him to have a unique name," writes mother Megan Kellermeyer, who adds that she's not a gamer. "I am so picky about boy names that I was having a lot of trouble finding just the right one. We've toyed with Dovahkiin and the ramifications of naming a child that name, and that name being based on a video game character (however awesome), and what impact that would have on him.

Robin Williams named his daughter after a Fictional Princess

No, seriously, I don't see what's the problem with naming your kids with some names, and I don't see why people actually bother with stuff like this

I've seen millions of absurd names like the name Jordan Rivers, London Bridge and Batman Bin Suparman, and nobody's complaining. I don't see why this one should be an exception
