Depends on the names, some names are normal, every day names (Terra, Vincent, Yuna, Cid etc), I wouldn't go with anything REALLY out there like Bartz (Bart is fine but Bartz? No, don't think so), Zell, Ashelia (thats just a bit too obscure for my liking), Cloud, Squall etc.
Some characters you can get away with naming your child after as they work in real life but if you go too obscure you are looking at your child being picked on because of it and given how kids are these days with bullying you are going to have one really upset kid because of your bad parenting skills and, if it is really bad, possible suicide due to your actions also.
So before naming your child after any Final Fantasy character stop and think if you want your child to be bullied, if it is a no then you obviously need a new name.
In all honesty here, I don't know if I should skuld you or make your day worst.
Anyway, its up to him, not you, also, I name my child based from a video game, Dead or Alive.
Her name is Ayane Revrem Mythral, and she is just fine and never got bullied as far as i'm concern when i'm around, an when she is/was she told me about how she kick't the bully's a**. I tought her Martial Arts, an how to use it for good.
I raise my kids on how I see fit, an to prepare them for the world.
An also you don't know that yet if this guy going to be a "Bad" parent.
Ayane is a Japanese name so technically, it is a name suitable for many and in Japanese as it means 'coulorful sound' and you don't go around saying her full name do you? But if you called your kid Fabula (FFU), Cloud, Fang, Butz, Paine, Agrias, Penelo or Squall how much do you want to bet they are going to get a bad rap for it? Sure they may not get picked on but it isn't a guarantee that they won't.
And I never said it was or wasn't up to him, I was just giving my opinion, this is a public forum, if you haven't noticed and he did ask our opinions, if he doesn't like them he shouldn't of/wouldn't of asked.
You can raise your kids however you want and it is fantastic she knows martial arts BUT if she didn't and was picked on because of her name guess who that falls back on? I am not saying he is going to be a bad parent in EVERYTHING he does I am just saying that if he picked the wrong name it could possibly end up in disaster and, not only that, it is an important event in a parents life, to pick a name for the child BUT they also need to think beyond just what 'sounds cool' etc, they need to think about their schooling years etc as well because, like I said, some kids will just get bullied for anything and not all of them will know martial arts and be able to put the bullies in their place.
