character name

RedXIV

Kinda an odd request here

Basically, I'm trying to push herself into naming our next bundle of joy a certain name (basic English name) but because she found out I have a game character in a poster of the same name, its been disregarded.

Soooooo what I'm hoping to prove is that almost every name has a video game counterpart. so when we picked the name of our daughter (Rebecca) that there is a video game character also called Rebecca. Problem is, I can't seem to think of any.

Anyone know any?

Wait wait wait. What age are you that you're having a baby and have a poster of Rebecca Chambers from Resident Evil? :P

close, I have a canvas print of Zack from Final Fantasy (herself bought it for me) and actually like the name for the next bundle of joy, However, she doesn't think video game characters exist with "normal" names. So I'm looking for a character from a game with the name Rebecca thanks for the resident evil reference

Barry, Chris, Jill, Albert, Rebecca etc from Resi.
Elena, Victor and Chloe from Uncharted.
Sam from Vanquish.
Anna, Jack, Paul, Lee, Michelle, Julia from Tekken.

I know you were looking for a Rebecca only but that's just what comes to mind after 30 seconds or so of characters with common names.

So you can't use's Zack? That quite a conundrum isn't it Zack? Perhaps Francis Yorke would be appropriate.

If I lose Zack, I'm throwing Blanka up next to her

I think there is a cricket player, or manager or some such, called Lara... Does that help? It doesn't help. does it?

Chun-Li. That's a nice name.

Just say "Honey, you're right. That's why I've decided to name her Samus"

Eh not to be a prick, but Zack as far from a normal English name unless your living in America.

Same goes for the likes of Seth and so on. :P

Potential-Monke

Haven't told herself, but the first two boys are going to be Kain and Raziel, and if there's a girl it's Ariel. Only because i don't think she'd swing for Noob Saibot or Sub-Zero...

She would grow up to love you more than any daughter could love her father, go for it!

There's a precedent for this, set by the actor Robin Williams, who called his daughter Zelda after the game character:
