Promoting Skyrim Bethesda want people to have thier children on 11/11/11 and name them Dovahkiin. Link

This is as bad as calling your child Turok.

Hahaha...

I actually love the name Almalexia from Morrowind and proposed that to my wife as a future daughter's name. She smacked me, as I recall.

It's quite clever really.
It's obviously a joke and they get some publicity out of it.
And even if someone does it, they haven't declared what the price is so they could just give them a Skyrim sticker.

No, it's worse; now they also want to have you control when your child is born.
Looks like they just can't learn from their own mistakes... Even if it's a joke, it's not a good one (IMO, of course).
(You know, you can't count on every parent getting it's a joke, even if it's an obvious one.)

Not to mention illegal in some countries. Or for that matter, the trauma that poor child will face for the rest of their lives...

"I named my child Dovahkiin and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

That would be like naming your kid DINO CRISIS (yes I know there are actual characters in the games but the thought of naming a child Dino Crisis is hilarious to me :P)

Bethesda... I love the TES games a ton but that is just beyond lame. "Oh so how did you decide on the baby's name?" "Well Bethesda wanted our child named Dovahkiin since they were born on 11/11/11, the same as Skyrim..." *awkward glances all around*

Heh, this reminds me of Sandra and Woo, the webcomic. Sandra's best friend is named Cloud, and his parents have him training constantly in martial arts so he can live up to his heritage.

If I had a kid, I would name him Harvey. In the off-chance that he wanted to become a lawyer, I would constantly try to make Two-Face or Harvey Birdman references whenever I saw him. If I were really feeling gutsy, I would name him Phoenix.

Well Dovahkiin is a better name to give your child than Facebook (not joking, someone from Egypt did that recently)
