game names

Sorry about the double post, but this just came to mind.

What do you think about naming your child/ren after video game characters?

My boyfriend and I have talked about this before, and I'm not opposed as long as it's not completely-off-the-wall and not obviously a video game character's name. For instance, I love the name Leon, which happens to be one of the main character's name is Resident Evil. My boyfriend likes the name Samus (from Nintendo's Metroid), and I do too, but I feel like that name will only be associated with that character. If anything, I think I'd reserve it as a middle name.

That's exactly who I think of when I hear the name Zelda (and the sister in Pet Semetary).
