Jesus fucking Christ
If you can't take the progressiveness grandpa, then GTFO. Meanwhile, my genderfluid pansexual wife will name her son Kylo and raise him to be a geek just like his parents. We'll teach him his values from Star Wars and Harry Potter and there's not a thing you can do about it.
"Fastest-rising" does not mean that it's even remotely popular. Lacrosse is the fastest-growing sport in the US but nobody gives a shit about it.
Kylo is a fine name. Better than some shit like Negan.
>>82686206
Take that, "Mohammed"!
I've always wanted to raise as autistic son who will murder me when he grows up. Glad to see I have company.
>>82686206
Imagine growing up with such a name, writing it down daily in classwork thinking it's some old European thing or something. The teachers give you a smile when they say your name, but you don't really know why, you assume they like you. You finally reach an appropriate age to gain perspective on things and you realize your parents gave you this bizarre name because they named you after some fucking movie character.
>>82686206
America is full of retards
pop culture is the new religion
>>82687245
Are you saying that parents who name their son Kylo won't raise him on Star Wars?
>>82686206
its a cool sounding name at least
>>82686206
>giving your kid a tv-related name (something they'll have for the rest of their lives even if they change it) just because
>>82687245
People will still remember Star Wars 30 years from now so it could be worse.
You could be named after a nameless video game character from one game from a shitty gaming company.

Bane Wilson future school shooter
>>82687352
It should be free games as long as the child lives since the child is the one who has to live with the name
>>82687352
His face is red with rage This kid would be 5 years old now which means starting school. He's going to have fun.

Their president is a reality TV star and his most renowed opponents are entertainers and comedians.
What did you expect?
why not just name your kid Ben? At least thats a normal name
>>82687352
>>82687387
>>82687395
Even Bethesda regrets issuing that challenge and knows the kid will grow up to be a future shooter
>>82686206
why do nu-males/man babies have to virtue signal for films? for example "OMG (insert film franchise) MEANS SOOOOO MUCH TO ME. IVE BEEN WATCHING IT EVER SINCE I WAS A KID ZOMG I CANT WAIT FOR 15 REMAKES AND SEQUELS. IM GONNA CRY" some kid on my twitter posted a pic of him crying at the new star wars trailer.
i just dont get it. we all watched star wars? we all have fond memories of the films as children but why do they act more childish now than they ever did before with regard to the film?
>>82687314
The fucks wrong with Kylo as a name?
>>82687603
t. kylo
>>82686206
>tfw you're an American in 2017
Why is this surprising? Amerilards voted a literal orange, reality show TV ((((((((((star)))))))))))) as their President.
Being so fat has destroyed their brain.
>>82687603
sounds like some sort of numale hipster variation of Kyle
>>82687314
Imagine all the meme baby names in a couple of years. I bet there are going to be a hell of a lot more Pepes born
>>82687603
It's like calling your kid Kyle and then thinking "Naa, doesn't sound wanky enough, we need to go deeper"
>>82686206
I'm gonna use this pic for insulting my friends fans of Star Cucks

My coworker named her daughter Zelda.
She doesn't like video games.
>>82688189
People unironically name their kids shit like tegan and kaydien in the midwest.
This year four retards in a country of 330,000,000 people named their child Kylo. The number of retards naming their child Kylo has quadrupled since last year!
>>82688417
Tegan is cool though
>>82688439
>americans

Pick one.
>>82688383
Neither did Mrs. Fitzgerald's parents.
>>82688451
>flyover hick with a middle name that's wind, rain or salt detected
>>82686206
Anyone who names their kid anything that people would only know from a show/book/movie is an idiot.
Kylo at least isn't a completely horrible name with no context but everyone would know exactly where it's from. Save that shit for pets and not poor kids.
>>82688439

I like how they're not nerdy enough to into proper capitalization or punctuation.

Imagine the shame of knowing that not only did your parents name you after a character on some shitty blood and tits HBO meme show, but they named you after one of the character's titles rather than her actual name.
kek I bet no one named their son Finn
>>82686206
I know there was someone named Anakin in high school
Not even American
>>82689026
There's probably a ton of Finns. I'd wager that none were nor ever will be named for Star Wars Finn, though.
I was named after Chance Boudreaux in Hard Target
luckily nobody pronounces it "chaunce"
>>82686206
Lamo, now it will be even easier for my kid to know who to bully, and if their parents confront him I'll bully them too for being Star fags.
>>82686206
>white people name their kids after a pop culture character that was clearly modelled on school shooters
How embarrassing.
>tfw named Luke
Thank god my parents had good taste and didn't name me Han or Anakin.
>>82687522
Godless heathens in a morally bankrupt society have no heroes or anything to be proud of in life
>>82689026
Probably a lot of my wives sons have been named Finn
>>82687603
it's a fake name that has no roots and doesn't mean anything
>>82689163
Luke is one that works if you simply must name your kid in honor of Star Wars. Because it's normal enough that most people wouldn't assume you named your kid for a shitty sci fi movie.
>>82686606
this anon understands basic physics/calculus

>>82689215
i mean, names from the bible do have origin, but usually religious families intention is to reference the bible rather than respect the history of the name.
>>82686206

>name went from zero usage to being actually used

What does /tv/ think of he names Harrison, Jonathan, Franklin, William, Joseph and Avery as boy names? I'm from a traditional middle-class family in the south and those are all traditional boys names in my family. Listed them according to what I'd want to use most to least.
>>82689007
one that's being raped in the ass in her very first appearance no less
>>82686206
Wow that's so gay they should've just named him David, John, Jesus or Mohammad like everyone else.
Ren is cooler
>>82687603
are you dense or something? hmm, i wonder why naming my kid after an unhinged crybaby father-killer might be a bad idea
>>82689398
Good names, wouldn't go with Joseph or Avery desu though. Go with something recognizably Southern and American. William and Franklin are nice, but something like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III really hits a homerun for American names. Jonathan isn't a bad name, but I've known so many people named jon, just seems like a very widely used name.
>>82689425
Imagine being named Ren in highschool, must be the shit. Kylo is just a autistic rendition of Kyle.
>>82689026
Finn is an actual name though.
>>82689007
There's literally nothing good about the character too. If 3rd-wave feminism succeeds by the time that kid is old enough to think about feminism, they're not even going to understand why people thought some girl-power fantasy character was even important.
>>82686206
>naming babies after a shitty character who's real name is Ben
>>82689007
I knew a girl named khaleesi, she was older than the tv-showand black, so I don't think her parents read the books.
>>82689500
I have a 2nd cousin named William so I feel like the name is off the table, and I don't really want to use Joseph or Avery either, they're just historic (first man in my family born in the US was named Josef, so Joseph is the current version). My father is named Jonathan so I'd like to name him for that, and Harrison is another family name I just love. Franklin is a little more indirectly related but I still like it a lot. I think I want it to be Harrison.
>not naming your son Darth Vader
Numales, not even once.
>>82689635
I knew a kid in highschool that was named Batman. He was pretty cool.
>>82689616
That's a good American name, I think naming after a father is good, or a family member, that's probably what I'll do. Either for first or both first and middle names.whenever I have children
>>82689411
It was anal?
plebs
>naming your child after Star Wars

He's celebrating his 27th birthday tomorrow.
My name's pretty stupid but at least it's not even tangentially related to pop culture
>>82686606
This, fastest-growing doesn't tell you that it's really a common thing.
>>82686206
Single moms are stupid. More at 11.
>>82687245
I know this because my parents did this to me.
They always told me they gave me this name because a movie but then one day my mother told me that it was also because my father had a fellow worker that was named like that.
Also my name is very rare, there is only like 300 people in my country that has it. In my school there was only one boy who has my name but it was written differently. It is also a name of a greek god.
I like it becuase is diffeerent and because it meaning is cool and because is antique. But yeah I know that feeling when people says or write your name worng. It has happend to me through out all of my life.
What the fuck is wrong with americans?

the only tv show character i'd name a kid after would be lain
>>82688383
Zelda is a normal name that's been around since before tLoZ
>>82686206
The same thing happened in late 2013 when many newbork girls were born with the name Elsa.
It was the time when Frozen was immensely popular.
>>82686606
I'm sure it also helps that it wasn't a name at all until recently
>>82686206
If the empire is a white supremacist organization then wouldn't naming your kid Kylo be like naming him Hitler?
>>82690102
>It is also a name of a greek god.
Artimas? Or whatever it's spelled like the messenger of the gods?
>>82690102
Apollo?
>>82690189
Hehhehehe
>>82690215
>honey why are you calling Alice Arisu?
What makes me laugh about this is that kylo is just a name for his persona like vader is the persona of anakin. I mean even kylo has an actual normal name which is ben. It's just funny to me people fucking over their kids by giving them weird dumb meme names when even the person they got the name from has an actual normal name.
>>82690642
