Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Creation Engines
Our man Pete Hines sends word that today, February 18, is the ideal time to conceive if you’re looking to roll a new character/child on Skyrim Day — 11/11/11. Just how exactly he learned this is worth pondering, but we’ll take him at his word for the sake of amusing science.
So, think you have the stat points in you to produce the perfect eight pound dragon-slayer? Like the wizened wizard he is, Pete is throwing down with a casual quest, offering up an unknown reward to any couple adventurous enough to name their 11/11/11-born child “Dovahkiin.” While it may be difficult to play Skyrim from the hospital, just think of how many late nights you’ll have to lull your little Dragonborn with Jeremy Soule’s soothing music.
And with that, we have possibly doomed a child. I’d say this calls for a hefty disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Any reward for completing this quest will not ultimately justify the potential teasing your child could — and probably will — endure over its lifespan. Bethesda Softworks is not responsible for your parenting. You may gain experience points for completing this quest, but you will not care at 3am on a work night. Completion of this quest may also result in decreased desire to play video games and/or function as a human being. Consult with your friends before embarking on this quest; while it may not start in prison, it probably ends there.
-----UPDATE-----
Well someone actually did it, someone named their newborn baby Dovahkiin.

This would be amusing if I wasn't completely against video game-inspired baby names.

The Argonian This would be amusing if I wasn't completely against video game-inspired baby names.
I agree there would be no way that I could make my kid suffer the torment a name like that would cause. Still I thought the whole article was hilarious and had to share it here.

All this really sparks in me is a disgust in the knowledge of how petty the things people will tear others down can become >.>
Sometimes I have such low hopes for humanity.

Am I the only member of this guild that would be a bad enough parent to not only do this, but not even have the common decency to change the kid's name after collection of the winnings?

If you think that is bad, imagine the father coming into the hospital, wearing a Dragons head, going into the room with his wife giving birth to his child, then, once it is over, picks his kid up and says "From this day forth, I name thee DOVAHKIIN!!!!" and writes down on the birth forms that will be his kids first name. Make it worse, put the middle name down as Skyrim. Once wife recovers and sees the forms, she'll look up and see a troll face on her husband.

It's posts like these that make me wish there was a Tip Post button in guilds.

Update to the OP, regarding the "contest" someone actually did it and won.
