Me and my BF had our son in 2023, and our daughter in 2025. Our son is called Leon and our daughter is called Claire. I thought these were beautiful names and was told they were "family names" from my BF's great-grandparents, which made them all the more meaningful.Recently I reconnected with an online friend and told them about our kids' names and they responded "Oh, after Resident Evil?" Sure enough I googled it and Leon and Claire are the names of the two main characters from the game series. I confronted my BF and he admitted he made up the story about his great-grandparents and that he always intended to name our kids after the video game characters.I'm so angry about this I haven't spoken to him in days. It just feels like a betrayal, especially considering he knows how much I hate video games and gaming culture. At the same time it feels like its too late to change our kids names and I've already gotten used to them. But I can't deal with everyone for the rest of my life thinking I named my son and daughter after pixels on a screen. How do we proceed from here?
>>34406984Never ever have children with a boyfriend, lesson learned.
Fuck this thread
>>34406999We WERE planning to get married in the next couple years but obviously I'm having second thoughts now.
>>34406984Ah it's not so bad. I mean yeah he should've been straight with you in regards to the names and all, but they are normal names. I don't think growing up anyone will have any problem with those names. You said you even liked the names, so I think it's alright, personally.As for the husband, I know he should've told you, but try to forgive the dude... it might just be the case that he legit likes the names, and wished to make a small homage to a thing he really enjoys, but was afraid you'd say no, so he came up with a silly story, but at the end of the day, I think there's no real harm done.
>>34406984>hate video games and gaming culture>picks a gamer to father her children
>>34406984that's very cringe. but oh well, they're your kids and that's their names now. Those names can be associated with your kids, not the video game. Just lie to your friends.
>>34406984Hope you got raped as a child.Female opinions are worth less than ''pixels on screen''. They are great names. It's a great game.
>>34407009oh fuck off
>>34406984Where they came from doesn't change the fact that they're nice names.
>>34407051If there was no video game connection I'd think they were lovely names. Or even if we just used one of the names and not the other. But the two together is just... wrong. I feel gross every time I have to say their names now.>>34407060He does the gaming away from me and that's fine by me. Aside from that, he is a good boyfriend and a good Christian. I don't expect my man to follow 100% of my interests and tastes. But lying to me about our kids names feels a step too far. He's brought his hobby into family matters.
>>34406984is there a chance he wasnt referencing the game tho? i mean to play devils advocate they are very basic names i doubt most people would even link the two
>>34407188No, he told me directly that he named them after the game characters. I know nothing about video games so I had no idea when he first suggested them.
>>34406984Leon and Claire are completely normal names. This sounds like bait.
>>34406984>nooo you can't name your kids after game characters>you have to name them after movie characters instead50 years ago>nooo you can't name your kids after movie characters>you have to name them after book characters insteadit's all so tiresome
>>34407158I'm pretty sure you're trolling. How about go tend to your family instead of browsing 4chan. You honestly expect any of us to believe a mother of two is browsing 4chan of all fucking places? You're full of shit. Your daughter is what, one year or or less than that? Can't even walk yet most likely. Still needs round the clock care. And here you are on 4chan in your spare time. With two kids? Lol fuck off. Stop trolling and stop baiting, some of us are actually parents ourselves and we can tell when someone is making shit up. And you're making shit up. That's why you bothered to include the years your make believe kids were born. Their ages are not relevant to your LARP but you threw it in anyway to add embellishment to the lies. Classic lying tactic, fucking amateur.
>>34407331How about just normal names that aren't taken from your stupid media obsession of the moment? People used to take names from the Bible or in honor of family members.
>>34407335How about stop LARPing as a mom to fulfill your gay fantasy of hating wahmen in your head? Who the fuck runs a psy-op like this? What kind of depraved shit does it take?
>>34407335Claire and Leon are perfectly normal names though, they weren't made up out of thin air for that specific game. But perhaps you would have preferred normal non-game names like Laquitia and Aireontae instead?
>>34406984Firstly, you both are immature losers, why did you not get married after you got pregnant with your first child? And if it was your bf that was the roadblock to marriage, why did you have another baby with him?That being said, Leon and Claire are fine names, actually way better than what 90% of parents name their children nowadays IMO. Yes it's kind of cringe knowing they are from videogames, but in a vacuum, your boyfriend made some solid choices. Maybe lighten up a bit and you two will be able to see it in twenty years as a funny thing you did when you were young and dumb.
>>34406984lol, got your ass, lmao
>>34407339these posts are literally just men larping as women doing things specifically designed in a way to make the seething autists on this board relate to the male in the story and feel persecuted. it's like an easier sloppier version of what propagandists do on reddit and it's highly effective because moids are easily manipulated. the point? well you can see it in the rise of anti-female political movements worldwide
>>34407158Eh still, I think in the future most people won't even make the connection between the names and the game...no harm, no foul, I think.Besides, it'll probably become a funny story for you guys in the future. Many years from now you'll probably look back at it and smile. Maybe shake your head a little, but it'll likely be a fun personal story for you guys to bond over.
>>34406984This is definitely bait.And if it isn't, that guy is awesome.
>>34406984Lol it should have been obvious unless you are fr*nch should have just named your kids a jew name like john or mary instead
>>34406984this is a really funny thread. good work OP
