There's a kid named Boone Tobias in our community. I know what the name referances, does anyone else? His parents must... well... I wont say anything else.

-Wowhead user on the Lion Horn of Stormwind, an epic from the era of so-called "EPIC" epics.Now, THIS thing? THIS thing is horrible. It's just awful. It was awful at 60 and it was awful at 58. It's awful at 45. If this dropped off a mob in Wailing Caverns when you were level 17 and being run through by a higher level character, you would equip it ONLY because you don't have trinkets at that level, and it would STILL SUCK.
again it doesnt matter because zelda was an actual name before the game. naming a child after a video game character with a name that has previously existed is not at all wierd in comparison to naming a child after a video game character with a name that originated from said video game.
Clearly we should all name our children John or Kevin or Sarah etc etc because that's the obvious and boring choice.
All names have been invented at some point in time. A lot come from the Bible, a whole lot comes from tales and stories from the past centuries, several more comes from movies. I'm talking about what most people consider "normal" names here. Considering video games have been an important part of society for a couple of decades and continues to be so at an increasing rate, so what's wrong with taking inspiration from video games?
He may have gotten it from the game, but I'm sure he wouldn't have named her it if it wasn't an actually name to begin with. He could have gone with Epona or even Sora, but he went with Zelda.

Also this. Video games take names from real life names.
Not sure if it was mentioned in the thread at all, but:
"Hearing of American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda, Miyamoto thought the name sounded 'pleasant and significant.'"
So, in a round-about way, his daughter -was- named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife (denial mentioned at 0:51 in the video).
At least it isn't Link
Being named after one of the three main characters of probably the best video game ever : a win to me.
My son's name is Link... Should they date? Or should he be on a epic adventure to met her?
i think the best part of that video is they are happy and she seams to like her name so i dont see anything wrong with it long live robin williams likin the high santa look to :P
As the story goes, it was his son who was playing the game while his wife was pregnant, and it was him who said : why not call her Zelda ?
It's an awesome name, but I'm not a fan of the money she's getting for doing commercials just because she's nammed after the character.
hmm i think if i ever have a son or daughter his name will be sonic and her name cream......
