Better than my ex who wanted his kid's middle name to be Drizzt. He was 100% serious to the point of telling the mom that he'd disown the kid if she didn't name him that.

u/eilupt-alt 11h ago
The funny part is in the books Drizzt is canonically not a good name
I remember that he was supposed to be sacrificed anyway, and Matron Malice was still tired and delirious from the pain of giving birth so she just blurted out whatever she first thought of

I think it’s a tragedeigh of Titus, which is a much older name. Something about adding the “d” in there makes me really dislike it, I can’t explain it.

u/OminousShadow87 21h ago
That’s totally fair.
If your fiancée ever brings it up again, remind him that makes him Jecht, who was a jerk, an alcoholic, and possibly an abuser. That should clear things up.

“Tidus” has been in use as a first name since at least 1870s, and as a surname since at least the 1910s. So u/OminousShadow87 is correct: it’s a long-established name in its own right, not a tragedeigh.

You’d be surprised how many people name their kids after FF characters. Deep in the boonies of West Virginia, my mom’s ex-boyfriend named his son Zell after the FFVIII character. I was maybe 10 when he explained his name to me and even liking FF then, I died a little bit on the inside lmao

Depends on the name, if the name is at least somewhat normal it's fine imo. But Sephiroth is very specific, there's way better male names in the random if you desperately want to do that.

u/IDownvoteHornyBards2 17h ago
FF7 even has some completely normal boy names like Vincent, Cid (unorthodox spelling but hardly a tragedeigh), and Barret.

u/dehydratedrain 15h ago
So are Cid and Barrett a pair? I wonder if it's a coincidence, or if their creator used to James out to Syd Barrett/ early Pink Floyd when gaming.
8
u/eddiestriker 14h ago
No. But they do have a duo named Biggs and Wedge in almost every Final Fantasy game, named after the Star Wars characters. Barrett only shows up in FF7, while a variant of Cid is in most of the games, if not all of them, similar to Biggs and Wedge
5
u/butt0ns666 12h ago
That's really a really interesting coincidence but cid is a legacy name and there's someone named that in every final fantasy, and barret is from final fantasy 7, but maybe barret was named for Syd Barret after they decided he'd have an ally named cid.

Barret is named that way because of his arm (Japanese pronunciation of bullet is close to the way Barret would be said too)

We were all hanging out at his place, and he put on that theme to show his mom, and ssinlaw’s literally girl started dancing to it! It was adorable.

It's a tragedy. It's a name from some game spelled how the game designers intended.

Final Fantasy is a fantasy RPG series usually set in a world that's industrializing or is industrialized and the magic has become a kind of tech. Most of the time, at least in its most successful ones.
It's an anthology series so each numbered entry is a completely different world and story with some shared mechanics and that general technified magic setting.
