My wife and I just had our second child on May 13, 2005.
We named her Aeris. ^^
Aeris is a very pretty name for a girl, congratulations on the newborn. Probably one of the prettest yet unusal names out there for a video game character.
I think these would be cool yet wierd for a boy and girl:
Zidane and tifa, nothing too wierd but definitely more exciting than our boring old names. Although I like mine, Doug. Doo doo doo doo doo do doo doo do...The days of elementary school. The name has florished for me over time, like a fine wine.
Now pets is different, you can name them whatever the hell you want. I'd rather name a pet after ingame friends or friends from past video games though. Although I like to shorten the actual names to 3-5 letter words.
-Dire
-Psy
-Deathfromabove(Definitely a bird name)
-Major
-Havoc
-Sap
-Fly
Or go the route of console characters for pets also, and some names can work for people fine
-David - Jack (MGS names for our hero)
-Link
-Mario
-Luigi
-Ganon
+100s more
I'd really like a pet rabbit/dog named Jaggedy-Eared Jack though
And if I could change my name to anything, it'd be Jack. I'm a jack of trades in real life after all, plus I love the ring to the name.
Edit: When the day comes that I have a kid, I'm definitely naming a boy Jack.
