What LoL champ should I name my daughter after?

xxxDogmanxxx··4 votes·1,204 views

What champions would sound good on my daughter? I want one that she won't get teased for, so no RekSai. I was thinking Fiora or Caitlyn, maybe Diana. What other suggestions do you guys have?

EDIT: The wife likes Elise, so Elise it is. Thanks for the suggestion guys!

My suggestion: Don't name a kid after a game.

They are their own person, and don't need your likes and/or dislikes forcefully imprinted on them. Give them a normal name -- and if that's boring, use a Gaelic name or something Asian, both of which will sound unique in America.

Aislynn (Gaelic for "dream" -- Ash-Linn), Fiona, Mei / Meiko, Hikari (Japanese for "light" -- pretty name imo -- Hee-Kah-Ri), Ciara (Key-Ruh), etc.

I'm not gonna name my daughter after the game "League of Legends". I just want to name her after a champion. To other people, it's gonna sound like a normal name, but to me, it's gonna be a small reminder of the game I love, on the daughter I love.

It doesn't matter how you try to justify it, it is still incredibly selfish.

xxxDogmanxxx3 votes

So in other words, you've already pre-judged me and my actions as selfish without ever having met me, and even after learning of my reasonable desire to name my daughter a normal girl's name that also happens to be the name of a female league of legends champion, nothing I say will change your mind anyway.

Instead, you want me to name my daughter a name that YOU think is normal, or name her after some Gaelic or Asian names that means absolutely nothing to me? Yeah... that's not happening.

So, in other words, you don't want to admit you're being selfish, and you're the type of parent that will raise more gimme generation brats, and add to our society's downfall.

You need to grow up a bit before having a kid.

That's rich coming from someone who wants to force his ideals on a someone else's daughter. Is this some sort of trauma you have? Did your parents gift you with a weird name that you've always hated, and now you're projecting your frustrations unto me?

In the span of a few comments, you've:

  1. Tried to get me to name my daughter according to your own preference
  2. Called me selfish for wanting to name my daughter differently from what you suggest
  3. Called me the type of parent who will raise a gimme-generation brat
  4. Blamed me for somehow adding to society's downfall

I hope you'll forgive me if I roll my eyes and don't immediately buckle under your childish insults. Maybe when you're a little more mature, you'll understand that there are people in the world who find you and your needs irrelevant, and I, being a complete stranger to you, am one of them.

Maybe instead of telling me to grow up, you should look into a mirror sometime and ask yourself why you're so irrationally demanding about what someone who you don't know and have never met will name his daughter.

Niyumi3 votes

No, I'm throwing my ideals at you, since you apparently have none that don't involve acting like a brat. ^^

  1. I never told you what to name her. I just said not to name her after a video game, as that is beyond idiotic.

  2. I called you selfish for thinking of yourself before your daughter.

  3. I look at how you act, talk, type, and all that, and know that you're a gimme generation member, and so will raise more of them if left alone.

  4. Not just you, your entire generation.

And, why do I preach all the crap I preach? Because, every day, I lose a little more faith in humanity -- at this point, I have just about none. So I try to explain to people how to be decent human beings, how to think for themselves rather than for society, how to not be vain, all that. Of course, it all falls on deaf ears, which is about what I expect.

Look, if you want to go brand your daughter with a video game and entirely ignore anything that might come of the name, you go for it. But if she gets teased, or if you have to explain where the name came from (and you just say, "Oh! It's from a video game."), I'm goinna laugh at you.

Again, I roll my eyes at such a first-grader tactic. You do know that repeatedly calling me a "brat" won't make it true, especially when people can read all the previous comments and see how bratty and illogical YOUR comments are.

You seem to under the impression that everybody actually cares what you think, that you matter even a tiny little bit to me or anyone else. Here's a reality check for you kid, you don't.

Go ahead and laugh at me in your sad little corner and complain some more about the "gimme-generation" and their decisions. Go ride your little high pony and proclaim yourself the one source of "decent human behavior" and "individual thought". All I see is an idiot flapping his mouth, suffering from the worst case of Dunning-Kruger I've ever seen.

I'm done. You can have the last word if you reply to this comment. You can insult me again with no justification, you can repeat all your little insinuations, whatever it is that makes your self-esteem preen. You can go on with your life thinking you "won" this argument if you like. I officially don't care anymore.

By that logic every parent chosing a name for their kids is selfish

So... the names you mentioned are "normal", but names like Annie, Ashe, Janna, Caitlyn so forth, so on, are abnormal? Lol. So, by the notion that you're suggesting, nobody needs your own likes or dislikes forcefully imprinted on them either.

My mom didn't come up with my first or middle name for me. My aunt named me after some character in a book she was reading. Guess what? I like my name. My dad also gave me a unisex middle name, Alexi, which I freaking hated because every time people heard it they made fun of me. I told him I disliked it, and you know what he did? He told me it was named after one of his favorite soccer players, who happened to be very good and a role model to him. These days, when people ask me my name, I tell them it's Alexi.

A child grows to love their parents, some times even more when their parents give them names that mean something important to them. You feel more important to your parents at that point.

Personally, I'm partial to Evelynn.

It provides two common nicknames ("Eve" and "Lyn") and I like how it sounds.

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

That's a good point!

Faie1 votes

Well Caitlyn and Diana are semi-normal names. If you're looking for something "normal" there's always Sarah (Ms. Fortune). Irelia and Nami would be very cool names to have.

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

I like the name Nami, but I worry that her nickname on the playground would be Nami the Numbskull. I actually had a schoolmate that had that name and nickname. I felt so bad for her, she really hated that.

Annie Ashe Caitlyn Janna Lissandra Sona Syndra Are names I could see being decent for naming some one. Though a name that I like that might sound decent for naming some one is Elise

I actually like Elise. The name, not the champion. EDIT: We've decided to name her Elise! Thanks for the suggestion!

I say ashe or kalista, there's actually 2 kalista's in my grade at school.

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

Have you noticed the Kalista's getting bullied or harrassed or anything like that?

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

If they are, you're your daughter's spear of vengence. ;)

On a serious note, I suggest Leona.

Praise the sun!

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

I legitimately lol'd. I wouldn't actually be able to act like a spear of vengeance for my daughter easily though, since the most likely kids who'd bully little girls are probably little girls themselves. What am I supposed to do, punt them across a football field?

As for Leona, I'm not too sure about it. It doesn't actually seem like that fitting a name for a little girl to me. I don't know anybody named Leona in real life.

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Lol good point. Maybe you can go the Braum route and "kill em with kindness " as they say.

Then your daughter would be known as having the dad that brings the treats everyone loves. XD

Prob right about the name. Out of your favorites I like Elise a little more than Evelynn, but Caitlyn sounds very classy, ao idk.

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

That's some good parenting advice you've got there. I'll definitely do that when my daughter starts school.

I'm leaning more towards Elise myself, but all three are really close. I'll run them by the wife tomorrow and see what she thinks. Again, thanks for the advice!

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Thanks, but I've got no parenting experience myself, Im just a college student that appreciates how his parents raised him.

Good choice on running it by the wife, as my dad likes to say, "happy wife, happy life." XD

Terozu1 votes

No they haven't been harassed, the one is always called Kali, and the other actually plays League(no she doesn't main Kalista) her friends joke about it at lunch, I mean I geuss that might affect her somehw, but I'm not sure so I couldn't tell you.

DoktorKaiser1 votes

Well you can choose some more "normal" names Elise, Diana, Caitlyn, Annie, Evelynn then there are weird ones that are still used somewhat Morgana, Katarina or Taliyah and some that would be interesting, maybe Orianna, Syndra or Lissandra. Its your choice if you want to go for low risk or just something you like. Congrats by the way :D

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

Thanks! So far, I'm considering Elise, Evelynn, and Caitlyn. Annie sounds a little drab for my taste, and Lissandra is unfortunately out of the question. I'd still have to run the names by with the wife, and she immensely dislikes this one girl she went to high school with who has that name.

Cassiopeia is a bit over-the-top, but Cass seems pretty cool.

Karma, Lulu, Sona, or Quinn are all pretty safe bets as well I'd say.

For some more "off-meta" names (lmao) you could try Riven, Zyra, Vi, Vayne.

Thanks for the suggestion! We've decided to name her Elise, so its a little too late for it, but I appreciate the thought.

Why not name her a name you actually like instead of limiting yourself to video game names. I know of a friend who named their son Ciel (pronounced C - El) because they liked anime so much. That child is going to have a rough time growing up. Name her Caitlyn or Diana if you like the name. Fiora is too strange sounding.

xxxDogmanxxx1 votes

We're naming her Elise.

Taric the Gay1 votes

{quoted}

We're naming her Elise.

That's a good name. You probably can bring up that her name was inspired by a video game, but even the video game character name was inspired by something else. The meaning of the name Elise is "Oath of God." Not sure how it fits into the character of League of Legends' Elise but you are giving your child a name that is tied to the Jewish religion and is also a not so subtle prayer of gratitude to the powers that be upstairs for the life of your daughter.

And I inform you of this because I have one friend who has a daughter named Valerie which means "Valiant and Strong" but she was almost had a different name; Mallory which means "Unfortunate" or "Ill-fated." I just wanted to fill you in on the meaning behind the name so you can be fully informed of what you are actually calling your soon-to-be daughter.
