IRL Dragonborn
http://www.bethblog.com/2011/11/16/dragonborn/
Well holy hell, someone actually did it.
Back in February, we threw down a challenge: if anyone delivered a child on 11.11.11 and named him/her Dovahkiin, we would provide free Bethesda games for life.
Today we congratulate proud parents Megan and Eric Kellermeyer for completing the quest. As noted on their webcomic site (and documents shared with us), Megan gave birth to Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer last Friday at 6:08 pm PST.
Be it the real world or the game worlds we create, we wish young Dovahkiin the best in all his adventures. And if Alduin ever reaches this realm, we’ll be in touch.

IJAM? What?
Er...this happened when Skyrim was released. Didn't we have a thread on it then?
Better than being named Gandalf.
Sorry, I didn't know. You can close it I guess.
I feel sorry for that kid.
Thankfully, he can just go by the nickname "Dover".
The same cannot be said of the one named Gandalf.
^^^Nah, no need. It legitimately is pretty interesting.
Also might not have known since I was avoiding Skyrim spoilers at all costs but urgh. I feel slow as a brick now. >_>;; orz
At least they gave the kid a normal middle name.
Yeah, he can go by "Dover" or "Tom" or whatever.
Not as bad as the lady who named her kids Orangejello and Lemonjello.
Actually, he'll probably go by D. Tom Kellermeyer.
^^ Or the woman who named her kid "Shithead" and insisted that it was pronounced "shuh-teed", or something like that. Or the woman who named her kid "Temptress" because she misheard a similar word on The Cosby Show and ended up with her daughter inviting older men to their home for sex.
This is still a pretty bad name, though. As is Gandalf.
I still like the tale of Loser, known by his friend as Lou. He's the Chief of Police now.
Who else here has read Freakonomics?
I have. And the other book, whatever it was called. Superfreakonomics?
Although I hope he grows up to be big and intimidating because if somebody finds out his full first name, then he'll need to pass a few intimidation checks
...So they gave their kid a stupid name for games? Well, here's hoping the kid either turns out to be just as big a nerd as they are, or at the very least doesn't end up killing them.
...Except when he catches them he smashes in their skulls and tries to absorb their souls...
^ Does that mean he might be Dracula?
Do you mean Porphyria Hemophilia?
Actually, that just means he's Soma, since he can absorb souls. Though he doesn't necessarily have to choose to be Dracula.
^^ Well, Soma doesn't really get a /choice/ as such.
