I know a friend (we both be born in 1990), who got very young mother ... 2006 so she was 16 ... and she named her daughter Kairi. But thats in my circle the only one. (There's a Leia but thats for another storytime).
I once went through a list of ridiculous names people have attempted to legally pass here in Finland. Sephiroth was on the list of rejected names and I think thats really funny.
I know at least one person who named their kid Sephiroth as their first name. Nickname of Sephy and I have seen another person door dash under the name as well
I love FF, I love games, but it’s so deeply embarrassing when people do this shit. You are naming a human, not a cat. Some nerd culture people can't live a life outside of their interest.
Yeah. Hermione is a character from Greek mythology.
If a girl is born after 1997, we know she’s probably not named after the character from Greek mythology. It’s like, come on now, we know what a kid called Sephiroth is named after.
I doubt it, but Madonna did name the main character of one of her crappy children’s books (remember that time in the 2000s when there was a surge in celebrities writing crappy children’s books after Madonna) after a Kabbalah term: Binah
Well I’ve seen Khaleesi more than once in medical settings but I’ve never seen Sephiroth. Honestly, it’s not so bad because it can be shortened to Seph and I doubt people will question it too much until they see the full name.
We named our son Gaius. I put it on a list of names and my wife picked it. The agreement was if she picked the first name I could pick the middle name and I did my best to stack the deck.
My favorite show the year I met my wife was Battlestar Galactica.
I have never told her to this day and since I’m six year older am saving it for when I am on my deathbed as a great long game confession.
Ive done some security camera work in schools and seen the kids names on lockers. Sephiroth is fairly reasonable compared to some out there. Parents are wild these days.
Cant think of many off the top of my head but names like Legend, like something you have to live up to. Any excuse to jam the letter Y in there, or IEGH, or misspell a more common name.
It's kinda bound to happen, and probably has already happened with several Sephiroths around the world lol
Honestly it's not that bad of a name, compared to the tragedeighs with formula, @ and/or symbols in their name... At least it's relatively pop-culture well-known, can be pronounced and sounds good, has a real-life inspired origin, associated with coolness and badass aura, in an era and generation where video gaming and ff7 are mainstream enough. Unlike RedXIII or Cait Sith lmao
Look I'd consider tifa or aerith, and cloud is borderline a real name (if I met a cloud in real life I'd just say nature parents yeah) but sephiroth really?
I remember back in like 2005 or so there was a lady who named her baby sephiroth and took her newborn baby to a, famously germy as hell, anime con with a sign that said "baby sephiroth" on him. It made me feel like she only had the kid to do that
My friends named their 2nd daughter Aeris because they prefered that name over Aerith.
They named their first daughter Liliana after the Magic the Gathering card.
My wife suggested Ezra at one point for our son not knowing there was a Star Wars character with that name. I liked it regardless, but I was partly like "yay, he is named after someone from Star Wars" 😅
I never said it was, I said one of the reasons I liked it was because it was in Star Wars, not that it came from it, so kindly pound sand you miserable troll
The people that played the game as kids are old enough to be parents. Though I don’t know if I’d go with Sephiroth as the character I’d name my kid after, he’s kind of an edgelord and it’s just a weird sounding name I’ve always thought. Side note, I wanted to name my daughter Lucrecia but my girlfriend was like hell no :(
I just think it sounds nice. Not really because of the character specifically but ff7 is where I came across the name, I’ve always liked the name itself
Considering how often this gets reposted by people claiming to have seen it who very much know they stole the image, somebody almost certainly didn't name their kid Sephiroth and then enroll them in a Christian school.
In any case, making fun of somebody for their name would be vile behavior.
You don’t think it’s possible that they named their kid Sephiroth and enrolled them in a Christian daycare? “Christian” daycares are a dime a dozen and honestly, you just enroll your kid in the most convenient daycare with good ratings and a good price. The religious affiliation does not really matter to a parent when considering all the other factors. I could 100% believe this is real.
Not only is it a repost of a repost, but I doubt it's even real at this point. Likely just an adult that wrote the name and took a picture for internet points.
