The story about this project is pretty bizarre and i was wondering about ethical issues raised! If someone give you 150 btc would you?

absolutely

It is def. an odd situation that's for sure.

Definitely, yes.
Of course I could name it Satoshi!

As well, the name is really really cool! BTCBTCBTC

Pretty common Japanese name.  Like Samuel or equivalent

Why is somebody paying?  I would take the offer

Only if I can put it up for adoption immediately afterward.

I didn't get a vasectomy cause I wanted humanspawn in my life.

Classic quote, that made me laugh. ;D
Satoshi may be a common name in Japan but it's a nice name. Better that some of the stupid names celebrities come up with for there kids.

Hahaha that is pretty good ^^ .

I will seriously do it for 10 bitcoins. It was a great name. My son would not regret it. I will give him the 10 bitcoins once he is old enough to use it.

That depends, I mean the name is more of an ASIAN name, so people in that part of the world might... 8) 8)

I would do it for 1 bitcoin  ;D

So what?  Plenty of Asians have English names like Jackie Chan.  What can't white people have Asian names?

Satoshi is a Japanese name for a boy.

I bet most people here would have a baby for 150BTC let alone just naming one that

If I was Japanese, that would be no problem at all , I suspect
In my culture, the baby would stand out like a sore thumb, so prob not

No way. I wouldn't want my kid hating me. Like I wouldn't want to be named from a hero when I was born, like Elvis or Rambo..

Don't get me wrong - Satoshi is one legit dude. But I wouldn't name my kid after him! 

Well, Satoshi is not a bad name

But selling your baby's name like that is awful

How about re-naming the baby after you collect the 150 BTC bounty ?

The baby girl's name is proposed to be "Satoshi Bitcoin"  ???

Ok, so we all expect BTC to reach $10 000 in the next couple of years, pls do not BS that you don't when I know we all do.

So, let us do a bit of simple math, 150 BTC x 10 000 = $1.5 mil

Rephase the question,

Would you name your baby Satoshi for $1.5 mil?

Personally? Nah. I do not care about these magic coins. :)

No chance, not for love and not for coins
He will forever be regarded as a douchebag
Though I guess I would think twice if btc breached $10k

Laqisha.

That would really ruin the life of the little girl, imagine how many people make fun of her..

Satoshi ? it's cool name  ;D
like a name anime japan  ;D
I want give my son name satoshi  :o if you give me 150 btc wkwkw ;D

I think i would name my baby "150 bitcoins" for 150 bitcoins.
I would name it Satoshi for a lot less  :P

No, I want my girl have a happy and undisturbed life. No for BTC to contribute his play time to advertise it but know nothing about it. Definitely I will tell her all about BTC thing.

Naming a baby Satoshi i think would really be fascinating, provided i know the meaning of Satoshi first.

I think it is surely an easy question for 150 BTC

Dood, I would change my name, my kids name and my girlfriends name (well, Id call her that if she didnt sign the papers;) for 150 BTC. Is the guy forking up the BTC nuts or what?  ??? Its not like getting a name tattooed on you...
http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/reebok-offers-1-year-crossfit-sponsorship-whoever-gets-biggest-reebok-tattoo-159503
Just dont mention it to anyone and theyd still call you your real name anyway. Not sure how my of my friends and family know my full legal name (like middle name for example).

edit: Ah ok, didnt notice it was a fund raiser. in that case - good luck to them, i wouldnt be hopeful theyll get the BTC. Maybe 10...

This could be a very lucrative income strategy for people in Japan :D They may even have considered this to begin with.
I personally wouldn't do it. Not because Satoshi was a bad name, but I simply wouldn't do this for money. At least not that small a sum  ;D

Probably yes because he/she will have to possibility to change his name when will be older.

I'll do it for 15 BTC. His jersey is even prepared. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440300) :D

I think it is not a problem. I will do it for my son's future. I will not spend 1 btc of it. It would be for his college tuition and for his life. 1 Bitcoin could be worth 100k or more when my son grow up.

Yes of course Satoshi is a beautiful name, my baby won't have any problem with it.

Yes of course,the baby will later thank me for it after later finding out he or she was named after a renowned personality.

Those that wouldn't obviously have too much money.

Well the same Satoshi is okay if you ask me. I seriously doubt that you will get funding for this.
This is a lot of money. I'm not sure actually. As much as I support Satoshi and Bitcoin, selling my (future) childrens name seems wrong?
"we will name her Satoshi Bitcoin". That would be interesting.

I would consider it if I would be Japanese. But I would never give my baby a certain name only because I can profit from it.

You have to know that the baby will have this name his entire life. Choosing a name that is likely to be ridiculed can have a huge negative impact. I would not want to answer the question of my son why I gave him that name with "I got 150 Bitcoins for it".

ya.ya.yo!

No way, that's like calling him 'money' or 'coca cola'.  While the money could be used to have a positive effect on his life, how the child feels about their parents is even more important.  It's the parents responsibility to provide for the child.  If I were named Satoshi as a part of a calculated deal like this I imagine I would feel as though my parents valued money over the 'heart', calculation over feeling.  Something as vital and sacred as the parent-child relationship shouldn't be twisted like this.  It's not like we're living in an irradiated wasteland and this is the only way out for the child.

Having said that I am from a reasonably privileged background compared to most of the world.  If I was living in a slum and this was a way to get my child out I would seriously consider it.  I'd probably do it if my situation was bad enough.

It is a real first name. If I met a Western looking child with a Japanese first name I would just assume he was born over there (maybe his parents were on an expat assignment).

so expensive!

I'd name my kid fuckhead for $75,000. I'd reserve some of that money for a name change later.

Satoshi is better than most entertainer baby names.

Frank Zappa named his kids Dweezil (son) Ahmet Emuukha Rodan (son) Moon Unit (daughter) Diva Muffin (daughter)

Sylvester Stallone hated his kid so much he called it Sage Moonblood (daughter)

Stacy "Fergi" Ferguson proved that she was stoned out of her mind all through her pregnancy by naming her kid Axl Jack. Fergi reported in an interview that she's picked out a name for her next kid. She's going to name it after her father Crescent Wrench.

http://www.evilution.co.uk/files/smartexterior/jacking/stands.jpg

Would be stupid not to accept deal like this.

Can always change name after the baby grow up.

I will tell my neighbbours that my wife is japanese, so my son's name is satoshi which means fire :P

Yeah indeed I will name. Its just a name, not a big fuss.

There is no problem in naming kids as satoshi if I am provided 150 BTC. I can spend 1 btc on the ways to calm others down..about why I named them so :)

"Goal: 150.00000000 Ƀ
Nobody pledged so far"

Sums it up for me.

Millions would do that for 150BTC

Its Satoshi and middlename Bitcoin. If it succeeds their names will be everywhere and media coverage will be huge! Thats is the only reason i wouldn't do it imagine the publicity! Satoshi Bitcoin baby everywhere :D

Not even a few bitcents lol

CNN would report on it!  ;D

Thats a strange deal that nobody will ever offer according to me. But I guess that's a nice offer, why would I even deny it!!

I would name my baby Satoshi for free.. The Guy/Gal/Group literally help put us on the path to freedom.   :D ;D

Satoshi is a common japanese name.

Why not?

My daughter will be giving birth to a boy in the next 4-6 weeks and for 150 bitcoins she would name it the same,lol. I mean, put those coins in the babies account for all the hell she might go thru, but why not?

Really though, I doubt they will get too many supporters. After looking thru that site, not too many get funded..

It's not like it's not a common name in some places so I can not see any reason why I would not name my child Satoshi. Getting 150 bitcoins to do it would be amazing but I would not rule out using this name because I wanted to either and no just for bitcoins.

Assuming anybody around here could get a girl knocked up in the first place :P

sure.  it's easy to change a name afterwards, so if you get paid 150BTC to name your kid Satoshi Bitcoin why not?  instant college fund.

OK, the fact that his pledge ends in 10 months should say all that needs to be said.

Maybe it would be her birthday or something. Anyway its pretty weird project but some if crazy people donate to be godfathers and this happen for real imagine the news "Couple name their Child Satoshi Bitcoin" , "First Bitcoin Baby" etc

I am pretty surprised most people answer so easily yes. Would you like everybody to know that you name your kid Satoshi Bitcoin? Your face and your kid face will be everywhere its not so simple!

But how does he know it's a girl if it hasn't even been conceived?

Who is to say Satoshi Bitcoin is a girl or boy's name?

I would do this for 2 Bitcoin  ::) ::) :D :D

I personally thought Satoshi was a boys name, but to quote from the "project description".....


The project finalises in 10 months and last i checked a baby finalises in 9 months, soo explain that one to me!

It says newborn daughter so maybe she is already born and in 10 months will be her birthday or something

wanted to name our puppy satoshi and it got veto'd lol

very true. its like offering 150btc to name your child John.

i can see many japenese families that even without seeing this topic or knowing bitcoins, that have named their son satoshi this week, soon finding this thread and claiming the prize way before an actual bitcoiner that is planning to have a child to then name Satoshi in 9 months

Yeah, then rename him after he sends the coins and gets confirmed, since BTC is irreversible, lel. #scammed.

Illegal baby names! https://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/blogs/yahoo-lifestyles/10-illegal-baby-names-194006397-3.html

Someone in china name his/her baby @ :P

Satoshi for a name isn't an awful choice at all
Bitcoin would be a bit ridiculous though but yes I would name my baby Satoshi for 150 bitcoins without feeling guilty since its a good name

The meaning of Satoshi is "clear thinking, quick witted, wise".
Seems like a wonderful name for a newborn.

That's the truth. Most of these boys ain't had pussy since pussy had them. lol

And that is what Bitcoins are for BTC
Had to say it since we all know most people were thinking it  ;D

Or your mircea that pompous fellow.
http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/

I guess that's true. If they get enough Bitcoins and aren't afraid to use them. lol

Likely some people already called their kid Satoshi because they got the idea from Bitcoin.

The webpage is down... so I don't know how serious they are.

Back to the topic, I think millions of people will queue up if this much amount is offered. BTC150 is equivalent to $77,000+ at today's exchange rate. And even in western nations, people are producing babies to claim just $5,000 or $6,000 in child benefits.

yes, i would have 100 kids and name them all satoshi

i could maybe, but only if one 1 satoshi will be equal to something more , then is actual price

Of course I would  ;D
Satoshi is not a bad name and you get BTC150, so why not?

Prize is way too much for such a simple think. Satoshi is a general name that anyone could use, also sounds pretty cool in my opinion. I would consider it with or without the prize.

I think Satoshi is a genius. I have no problem to named my baby. If i 150 bitcoins that would be plus.

Sorry, should be back up and online!

Every time a Panda is born in a zoo it appears to make the news. I wonder how much it would cost to convince the zoo keeper to name it Satoshi? Maybe offer some money to a bankrupt town to rename it to Satoshi or a bridge, stadium, dam (or any landmark really)? Getting something on a map would be nice.

I could even start small and spray my car with the BTC logo.

Cnn.com would pick it up just like the Panda being born in the zoo :P

Of course, Satoshi is a beautiful name and 150 btc is a huge amount of money.

I think that probably I would name my baby Satoshi for a lor less than 150 btc... about 10 and you have a deal.

But would you really? ;)

At first I was thinking only for a middle name but after giving it some more thought I'm sure I'd do it.  I like the name for one and the fact that the name is of someone I respect makes it a "no brainer".  I can imagine all the nicknames the child would get especially if bitcoin is a big as many of us know it should be.  So yeah, were do I sign for this and what if I have twins?

The idea is fun and interesting but silly at the same time.  All and all it is good press for Bitcoin and could help the child so that being said I'm not against this.  I also had a similar idea I suggested to another member here but they weren't looking for financial funding and decided against it.

I would do it, I don't have any kids now but if someday I do and somebody paid me 150 btc to name it Satoshi I would defo do it but it also depends on the price of bitcoin at that time.

Kids end up costing a lot more than the $77k those 150 BTC are worth today. Of course they will probably appreciate tremendously while the child grows up.

My kid will definitely hate me once s/he found out about so I wouldn't. I can name it to my gecko pets though. :D

I would, and I would give that kid all of the Bitcoins when he turns 18.  Also, I would call him by his middle name.

What would be his middlename ?

Litecoin?

Lol. You must be from Australia

Actually he is from Russia. But that is not the point. This name is not that bad compared to some random bullshit names people are giving to their children for free all the time. I won't have children but if I would I will take that offer for sure.

Like North West or Apple.

what the ever lovin' fuck?

lol.....

Sounds like I'll be going on a bitcoin-only vacation to the Caribbean soon.

New York Politicians: "We will regulate Bitcoin to death, because terrorism."
Dominica Politicians: "Looks cool, let's try it."

Name here Satoshi Bitcoin? Please dont....

also http://insidebitcoins.com/the-first-bitcoin-baby/

More bitcoins babies more bitcoin adoption Make love and Bitcoins :P

If I had a son yes otherwise no. Son is on the way  ;D

Yes, then 100ms later i'd do baby.replace("Satoshi", normalName);

I would name him Satoshi for 1BTC XD

You sure?

Yup, beside the fact that i love the name, 1BTC is about 500$ to just name your kid after a legend. ;D

I would. I'd use it as a second name tho.
It's not half as bad as some other names that I've heard.
Would put the money in a trust for the baby and use it for their education and future :)

Now that's what you call an investment! ;)

Currently I am not residing in Australia, but I have worked in Australia for many years. Yes... in Australia I have seen people producing babies non-stop to claim the baby bonus.  ;D

Also, they stopped giving baby bonus from 2014 onward, since it was mostly drug addicts and cash-strapped teenagers who were producing the extra children. They replaced it with additional family tax benefits, which I believe is a positive step.

This is lame, a normal person wouldn't name his baby satoshi just to get paid for It. My opinion only.

I'd name my kid Satoshi and keep the 150 btc for him or her to spend when he or she is 18 years old. And I won't tell my wife about it because well, she'd never allow it.

I don't have a middle name so I can add Satoshi for FREE if anybody do the paperwork and cover all costs. :)

Give me 30 bitcoins and I will name my baby as you want, but only for the first years :)

Hello,

On my 23rd birthday (2008), I changed my common law/usage first name to Alwin. I've wanted to change my legal first name to this as well, but have not been able to justify the expense*, as I understood it's legal in CA to change your name under common law for free, as long as you're not doing it to defraud. I mostly go by TheButterZone on the internet.

Inspired by the "First Bitcoin Baby" Bitcoinstarter (https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/946) and posts about it on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=757000.0;all , I thought, if someone would help with the paperwork and cover all the costs*, why not change my first and middle names to Alwin and Satoshi respectively, in one shot? My middle initial is already 'S', so changing the name to Satoshi wouldn't be that drastic.

I'm not aware of any adult who has changed their legal name to Satoshi yet, so I'm willing to be the first. I don't have any civil or criminal liability to escape, or foresee any financial benefit (other than saving money on the name change costs). One would think this should be good PR for whoever helps me, however.

Who is Satoshi? Please make that my middle name.

150 BTC!  I would name him Agnus for 150BTC!   Just kidding.  This is a joke, right?

 Why bother? You named yourself cameltoe for free!

I will rename my cat for 100,000 Goldcoins!  :P

Cameltoe ftw!

Its the craziest idea i have ever seen in bitcoin world except bitcoin itself :)

Everyone says yes lol ! Seriously i think nobody here would actually do it

lol that was fun. you'd be spending much to change your kids name. Satoshi isn't a bad anyway..

I totally would, where do i have to sign  ;D ;D

Could I just rename my current child?  I really don't want another one.

The real question is if anyone would be a bitcoin godfather?!

Yes, you may.

wow! why would anyone pledge it!
but hey! am ready to change my name , for 150 BTC :D

+1

i could name also my dog and my cat fr 150 bitcoin

The bitcoin godfather :)

Im prepared to negotiate so willing to name myself satoshi for 50 bitcoins, PM me if interested.

i want  :D

If I have to name my baby for life no, I would want at least 500 bitcoins.

I don't get it. What's wrong with the name Satoshi anyway? I don't find it odd if you name your child this, but for Bitcoin, it's sort of wrong and right at some point. I hope no one goes out and starts pumping out a baby just because they want a little Satoshi - and then that little Satoshi is going to wonder why he isn't getting enough 'support'.

There's much more awkward names out there, like Sex Fruit, Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, Dickie Head, Sad Adcock, or Cthulhu All-Spark McLaughlin. Seriously, look them up. They're actual names. Just think of the abbreviations. And there was a guy that renamed himself to 'Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'.


Surprisingly, in some countries, you cannot buy names. I know your post is just for laughs. However, I feel the need to post this.
-

I also find it sort of sick - even in a joking way - that people will do it for money.

Its kinda tricky making the decision when another human being is involved.  Satoshi would be a very uncommon name for a white person in the west to say the least & might make schooling complicated.

I wouldn't. I can see some future bad effects of this name on my child already and he would hate me for it.

it 's japan name

I would change my name to Satoshi for 150 bitcoins, Hell to be honest, there is not much I would not do for 150 bitcoins right now.

I would most definitely consider changing my name for 150 Bitcoins.  Most likely I'd do it but it would be a tough decision, mainly because I'd have to explain the decision to my family who I'm willing to be would think it wasn't a good idea.  I really don't think It's a big deal for a baby compared to an adult who has had the same name for long period of time.

This guy is willing to change his name to Satoshi! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=764452.0

I would if I am Japanese.  ::)

haha me to wkwk  ;D
satoshi is cool name in my country  ;D
if  me change my name satoshi , Im got 150 bitcoins ? of course yes  ;D

Even if this offer is real, I won't accept it. Buying emotions is very bad.

I love Satoshi's name, it reminds me of the ancient China, now send me 150 btc thanks :D

I agree with this, as I would not do so either. I think it would likely have negative effects on the child throughout his life.

I doubt this project will successfully achieved.
150BTC is too damn high, lower to 1 BTC maybe succeed.
And BTW satoshi is a really good name, I would like named my son in the future for free if I have a lot of Ƀ :D

of course, cause it sounds ridiculous

I have two daughters. The first has my first name and my wife's middle name. While I am male, my name (Lyndsy) is much more commonly given to girls, and both of our names have family history going back five or six generations each.  My second daughter got a virtue name - "Liberty Grace".

I would name a son Satoshi without much of a second thought. I'd name a son or even a daughter "Satoshi Bitcoin" for the current equivalent of $70k without much thought for it either. We could call her "Satie", and I doubt most people would even know that there was a story behind the name.

In fact, I'll go a step further. My wife and I aren't planning on having another child - but for 200 BTC, we'll either have another or will adopt, and name them "Satoshi Bitcoin" regardless of sex.

Shoot me a PM and we'll figure out escrow, set up a contract, and I'll phone my wife and get to work.

¿"Her"? Satoshi isn't a female name.

And of course I'd do it for BTC150, that's a lot of money.

150 BTC? Hmmmm... If there will be someone that will buy that btc when I name my son then ok. If its a she, so no.

150 BTC,I would name him Osama Bin Laden for that sum in his national identity even  ::)

Absolutely.  In fact, I might name a baby Satoshi just in gratitude for Bitcoin itself.

I would definitely name one of my kids as Satoshi. The name feels more of Japanese origin. I can easily tell my neighbours that our ancestral families come from Japan :))

Sure why not. Kid can always change his/her name later if he/she wants.

for 150 bitcoins i would give my child a second middle name of satoshi. but not there first name. my gf would not like that and would not allow it lol.

I lol'd

150 bitcoins hahaha good one!

I would name him anything for that amount but not a billionaire for her.

I would do it for 1.

I'd name my kid Satoshi and keep the 150 btc for him or her to spend when he or she is 18 years old. And I won't tell my wife about it because well, she'd never allow it.  ;D

Why not! 150 BTC will create the future for my baby/babies and even we can enjoy vacation a several times within this 150 BTC.  ;D

Well,yes but only the middle name not the first name.  :P

I think it would be very similar to naming your child Jesus, Ghandi, or Madonna. It would have very bad implications for the child throughout his life. He would likely suffer horrible emotional trauma because of it. 

What are you talking about? I know many people called Jesus, and it hasn't caused them any problem. Maybe it could be problematic if they were living in Israel or in a Muslim country.

Give me the coins and I will do it no problem

credit it to my account now. My wife is pregnant with a boy.

How about I give you 3 BTC for that? :)

Do you even have to ask?

If Satoshi knows that 150 bitcoins equal to the value of his name, what would he feel about this? Maybe just laugh it off. I will let my baby remember the great master instead of  changing the name with 150 bitcoins.

I would! The names not that bad

Jesus (in Spanish, written as Jesús) is a very popular name in Spain and the Latin American countries, such as Mexico and Guatemala. A well known example is Jesús Rodríguez Tato, the Spanish footballer who currently plays for Girona FC. And it is not Ghandi. The right spelling is Gandhi. There are tens of thousands of people with that name in India. Examples are Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi.etc

Satoshi Nakamoto is a genius. I would love to named my baby Satoshi. Also 150 Bitcoin is a huge money.

Sure. I would name my baby Satoshi for 150 btc because this money could be used to provide better care for my baby.

I will do everything with bitcoin

once i get bored with satoshi name,
I change my baby's name
because bitcoin can buy anything  ;D

I would change my whole family name to Satoshi.

I would have one baby with Bar Raffaeli for one satoshi, and name it Satoshi. Actually would do it for free  8)

I think most of the users here would do that if someone will ask them in real life :)

Poor Argentinians cannot even participate in this. Apparently there's a list of 500 approved first names http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1985-04-16/lifestyle/0290150123_1_naming-your-baby-registry-prohibited-names

Satoshi is an actual name, I don't see why anybody pay to have somebody named satoshi.

Nice name, if I name my son Satoshi Nakamoto I will receive 150+150 btc? :D

In real life nobody would name their baby satoshi bitcoin in this forum everyone would!

Since 150 bitcoins is huge money for me, I would name my baby Satoshi in real life.

If someone will give me 150 Bitcoin, name of my children will be: Satoshi and my surname  ;D

So what's the full name??

Satoshi Dice??

Seems good for gambling.  ;D

Its huge money for everyone but would you like to see your name and your children photo all over the internet? imagine the publicity

Yes, would even throw in Nakamoto for the middle name at no additional cost.  :P

Hahaha wow!
Totally gotta be a sham; How do we even know shes preggers haha!!??

A sad attempt to raise money...
If they really supported bitcoin they wouldn't need a buttload of money to name their baby that.. They'd just do it. (or not)
Instead they are basically selling their kids name; what great parents!

Don't support these people.
You will just be ruining some poor kids childhood or giving your money away to some random scammer.

If the money is on the table maybe yes. 150 BTC is a big amount. That will help us and Satoshi is not a bad name.

Of course, but to make this I want to marry a Japanese Girl, then, when I'll see money on my address, I'll call my child satoshi, which is a good name, not bad :)

I would name my baby Satoshi for 100

Japanese guys wont have a problem in naming their child Satoshi.

Easy answer YES

for me, name my baby Satoshi can be 100

我是大卫名字!
I'm Caucasian... DERP

The grand total of all pledges for all projects on bitcoinstarter.com was less than 0.04 BTC.

hmmm...

Absolutely yes

My wife's about to deliver our 3rd child this November, I'd like to name him satoshi since its a boy.
How do I get the 150btc?

Hell yer send me coins and will do it now

It is not a bad name, for 150 BTC that's pretty good!

The BS fest continues...

Let's get it done. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=764452.0

I was not planning to make a baby. But I will go find a woman to impregnate, have a child name it Satoshi Bitcoin, then sacrifice it on an altar to the crypto gods for 150 BTC.

Fuck yeah.
He can change it if he doesn't like it :D

My child's name should be according to my dream.... Not my fantasy...

Satoshi is actually a good name(when u r getting 150btc ..every name is good)

That's retarded, from that article it seems that they get that children as a tool not as a human beign.
I got disgusted..

hahaha awesome!  ;D

He'll forgive me after daddy gives a share of 10btc :D

Lol. Some funny threads in this boardings. Anyway, my reply to this is, i would have a child per satoshi, if i do the babies with adriana lima, then i will gladly achieve 1 150 BTC, one baby at a time.

I would kill for 150 BTC

Hmmm I'll get in touch with you lol

Cool! I would name by baby Satoshi in one month for 100 bitcoins! Any takers? :)

lol they are serious and i thought they were trolling

idk if i would name my baby satoshi but i wouldnt mind meetings satoshi in person to get to know who built this incredible payment system

> Get 150 Bitcoins
> Name your baby Satoshi
> Baby grows up and changes it
> ???
> 150 BTC Profit

how about naming your baby nxt for 150 bitcoin?

i'll give you 300 to name yours Sheldon.  race war ON!!!!

fuck yeah i am in send me the money. no ethical issues, everybody has its price :)

Sheldon isn't even a bad name, I'd name my daughter Sheldon for 300 USD. Heck, make that 30.

Sheldon is a great name.

I think "Toshi" is a better name than Satoshi...if you are truly going to name your kid that.   I think you can only pull off Satoshi if you are Japanese...

Satoshi is a perfectly normal Japanese name, but those fellas want to name her Satoshi Bitcoin. Let's hope that kids she'll have to deal with will be gentle.  :o

I think satoshis can be either male or female right ?

Is this the guy you're referring to?

It's the only Toshi I know! Besides, I guess that'd be the natural nickname you'd give someone called Satoshi.

Still not trolling :)

It is going to be pretty easy for asians to name their kid satoshi.!! No big deal.!  8)

I really didn't like this part:

Pledge 20.00000000 Ƀ or more
You will be her godfarher/godmother thus you will be able to attend to her official naming ceremony and speak her name first.

A godparent is supposed to be someone who will look after your child in case you no longer can.

Why would you entrust that to a total stranger?

Good point.

I would change my name for 150 bitcoins.

My future kids is gonna be Eurasian, so yea, I would do.

Everyone has their price. 150 Bitcoins, hard for anyone to pass on.

Hmm no  ;)

We named our cat Satoshi.

I sure would.  Just because that's his legal name, doesn't mean you can't call him/her another name.  There was a local radio station contest, and a guy changed his legal name to Heywood Jablome. It was on 99.3 CFOX. Can't remember what he won, but I really doubt he goes by that name now.  Even at today's rate, that would be a great start to a college fund. 

Actually a God Parent is supposed to look after her religious side of things

better still
I will change my name to satoshi nakamoto NOW for 150 bitcoins

Pretty sure you can change your babies name at a later point, or at the very least you can do when you're older. Satoshi isn't even a bad name though obviously sounds Japanese but people name their kids names from different cultures or countries all the time.

Then your birth certificate wouldn't have Satoshi on it :-\.

I wouldn't name him/her Satoshi (her ???) even for a million btc.

Hmm actually...

Give your child a name in order to earn money it is foolish and wrong. My answer is NO.

but for a normal name you would get 45000 dollars

For 150 btc i would name my mother that

so if Heinz is reading this I will name my child Beanz for 150btc

What's unethical about getting paid to name your kid?

There might be a moral question but I don't think ethics has anything to do with it unless the money you're being given is stolen or laundered.

sure... as second name  ;D

The online proposition was NOT that someone would pay a person to name their child Satoshi.  The proposition is that someone else, was prepared to name their child Satoshi for 150 BTC.

The question should have been, will you contribute into a group pay so that someone will name their child Satoshi.  Why would you pay someone to name their child Satoshi?  A wealthy bitcoin owner, probably can more effectively promote bitcoin by promoting it in established advertising channels. 

Perhaps one would like to name their child Satoshi to honor the inventor.  It is hardly honorable to ask for money than is it?

Satoshi, like all modern inventors had to stand on the shoulders of giants.  Something that wouldn't have been possible without the invention of the Internet.  The Internet wouldn't have been possible without the discovery of how to distribute and convert electricity and a host of other things.  So, to me, to honor the greats, you could name your son, Nicol (after Tesla), or Bjarne (after  Stroustrup).  These names are probably as unique in English speaking countries as Satoshi is.

sdp

I probably won't have kids but I'll name myself Satoshi for 150 BTC easily. And I'm the only person I know of who doesn't even like that word.

Hey, I'll only take 15 bitcoins to do it :D

Shouldn't cost that much ^ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=764452.0)

We should seriously consider starting a movement in which everyone who uses BTC changes their name to Satoshi or even Satoshi Nakamoto. Just imagine how many people in China alone would be changing their family names to Nakamoto.

For 150BTC i will adopt and name it satoshi satoshi
well fuck it's better than Muhammad Muhammad or john john

That price is awful steep. If you move to Baghdad and change your name to "Muhammad Is A Common Thief And An Assfuck And I Do Jihad On Islam," maybe we'll do 150. 

What would be the point in that? That's literally like blatant suicide. Besides, not many people would do it even for 150 BTC

Dont mind moving to Baghdad and dodging them bullets for 150 BTCbut me naming any poor fucking kid Muhammad is out of the question.
On second thoughts i could do but the price is 10 camels and 20 goats no pigs, price open to barter

Hell yeah. And for way less than that. There are a couple of barriers that would need to get sorted out but nothing we couldn't handle.

The man is offering you 150 and you already want to bring the price down? You'll never be rich!  ;D

To be honest I'd do it for 150, maybe for even less than that. We'd move to Japan where nobody would find it awkward, live happily ever after and the kid would never find out about the bet.

That sucks man hope you do everyone deserves the hell they bring :) Wouldn't change it for the world and no op never would i trade my babys name for about 40k never in a million years that is lower than low lol

Yeh me too i would change my own name i would even have it tattooed on my neck or below but never would i force someone else name on my child although i have kind of forced a name on her to begin with, oh go on then when is payment!?

This is where we get the truth lol Thanks for letting us know dude. So someone wanted 150 to name their child satoshi i would pass on that group and not donate anything, i mean if they cared anything they would not need any BTC they would just do it.

If i was a early investor without a doubt i would give him the master of cryptos middle name for giving the financial freedom he would have, but i am just a porper and not an early investor.

I like your example and i would be more inclined to name after the true greatness 'Tesla' the modern world was his work from what i have studied well beyond genius that man.   

Would you name your baby Dogetoshi Shibamoto for 100 bitcoins?  8)

No way, no matter how much money. I am from China, there is impossible for me to name my baby with a Japanese name, if I do this, the baby's future will be ruined if we still live in China. Because most of Chinese people don't like Japanese for the history reason.

For those who came late to post.   Please read mine.  It was not an offer to pay 150BTC it was an offer to rename for 150BTC.  This man's (sexist assumption) proposal was unrealistic.

Would you pay 1.5 BTC if I name my next pet Satoshi?  Ah hell, I doubt someone would pay 150 dogecoin for that.

I think Bitcoinstarter.com is down. I wonder how much money they raise from it? We can see there are a lot of people who are willing to change their name for way less than 150 Bitcoin. It's a failed kickstarter but nice try.

If somebody pay me 10 Bitcoin I would change my name (I don't have a baby so I can't name it).

Not sure about bitcoins ... but I would name my baby that for a plot of land on the moooon!

LoL.  A plot of land on the moon.  Okay, you can have my lot.  I am not doing anything with it at the moment.  I don't get out there often these days.  Rocket fuel is expensive.

I'll give you 1 doge coin to change your name to Sam Yon Folk. :)

You guys should NOT (<--edit) stop posting to this thread.  I am going to  :'( with laughter. :D

He will probably get bullied about it, i would tho if his mother was asian.

My baby named satoshi?
Nah...im goung to named my laptop , Satoshi.
:P

You would legally change your name given to you buy your parents for less than $3000? If you are being honest i feel a little sorry for you dude you must need that pretty bad. Do we know how much it raised before it went down? I would of thought it would raise dust why would anyone pay someone to name their child Satoshi. I agree failed from the start.

To answer original question with a big no i would not name my baby for someone else's money i find it kind of annoying that there are people that would  but each to their own.  

Of course. It's to much money.

No. Not even for 1000 btc

First of all, satoshi is a name from Japanese, yes you would if you want your children to be a "Japanese", it might cause some unexpected troubles in his life I guess.

Of course I would!

Even if you give me the half of money  :)

Thats sad to hear
Fighting and wars have always existed from clubbing each other with animal bones to atomic bombs.
Who really wins?

Be funny as fuck if China and Japan joined forces, teams switch sides more often than not.


If there is a boxing match China v Japan then bankers will make sure a generation or two are fucked over with more debt.
Who really wins?

I would check with the mother too, but the answer is yes. What a way to start juniors college fund.  :)

I wouldn't even think twice about it.

if anything the real challenge is the being a parent part  :P

Some names people are giving their children is insanely stupid and nobody pays for it. How can you name your kid North West? So Satoshi is pretty decent name to begin with. But you need to need to consult it with your significant other first. After all giving name to your child important for both of you.
Too bad in my case I won't be able to claim reward, because I don't have any offsprings.

this is a funny thing but i can see many people would actually do it if they are gona get 150 btc for it ... i just hope that bitcoins price increase to 10,000 $ by the time kid grows up if it happened to drop in prices thas gona be a one pissed up and most picked on hated kid in school lol

I am currently in Eastern Europe recruiting a surrogate for triplets. They will be called Shitcoin, Rapecoin and the final one will be named 5K4utxoydqvBCtJBqVsGkuXZjsqEqVaM5cnmTBJtmWKFSHDoZAG after the private key that paid for all of them.

I won't be asking for payment from anyone for this wonderful project.

Satoshi will become such a common name in the future that they will look back upon this thread like a 10,000 bitcoin pizza.

eh only 40k fuck that shittt

Why not, u can always change the name back to something else if it turns out to be a problem, or you realise that you dont like it as much.
150 bitcoins is a large sum, even with todays prices. I know i would name my kid for that, in the end its not a bad name afterall.

cheers

I would definitely do it ... the problem would be to convince my wife ;) ! and after all it's not even such a awful name

Son: Dad, why did you name me Satoshi?
Dad: I was poor and needed Bitcoins. I gambled them away anyways

I know you can change your name as an adult, but are you allowed to change your child's name? How much does it cost if you can? I know women have a nightmare changing all their official documents after they get married and get a new name. They need a new passport, bank account details, etc. If you change your child's name what would go on its birth certificate?

But it isnt a bad name anyways! IRL my name has characters that 99% of people dont know/cant pronounce, how is that better than being named Satoshi (which actually reminds a bit on Yoshi from SM)
I would be much happier knowing that my parents earned something by giving me this stupid name, rather than have it without any gain, in the end its not a name that defines you, nor your clothes,
but its the inteligence within you (and money if public majority is to be asked)

cheers

I noticed that people with stupid names often get given top jobs. I guess the people that employ them like the idea of it. Names like Doctor Pain spring to mind. There really is a Mr Pain, and even if he failed all his medical exams they would have probably passed him anyway, just so they could call him Doctor Pain.

would name my wife for that money

A nick of Satsh would attract the girls  :P

That was a good one :P hahaha

yes it would be a nice story to share with my child of where he got his name. or she...

It's a funny question! ;D
I suppose most people would say yes.

yes i will name my child satoshi and then call him sat at home and his friends will call him tushi (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tushi) and i will gamble away the 150 BTC XD

LOL

this is a funny question
-but i would never name it satoshi,i dont imagine my self calling out "satoshi come to papa" lol

it would be wierd,maybe if i was born in china i would name him satoshi :)

Yes, but I would go live in japan and raise him there so his name is not funny sounding and he doesn't get mocked at school. Im sure he would enjoy the 150 million dollars later on and thank me :)

Is it just me or when I look back at the link or when I go to bitcoinstarter.com,  is it down?

What a brilliant name.

would for half that great name

I would name him, Satoshi or her Satoshe  ll put away half for there college ed, and the rest in my business and buy a few more satoshis.

sure, why not?
there are some kids named satoshi here :)
and for 150 BTC, many parents will do it quickly

not with the current btc value, maybe when it was at 1200  :)

you can name your boy satoshi and get 150 BTC and move to japan LOL

look what i have found on wikipedia about satoshi en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi)

Satoshi is a pretty cool name for a kid I think, but It does sound too 'Japanese' so would be a bit silly if your kid wasn't at least half. Though as to whether you should name your kid satoshi for money you could just get his name changed back as soon as legally possible which probably isn't long at all. Maybe less than a month or something but different countries will have different rules on this.

Would you name your baby BCNext for 150000 NXT?  :) If seriously, my answer is no in any case.

Yes - makes sense. I mean 150 BTC is still a lot of money and in a few years it may even be worth a fortune! Satoshi isn't a bad name, either. As soon as the Japanese recession is over, they're overtaking the west, anyways!

No I wouldn't. That kid would have to live with that name and outside Japan it sounds odd. What about Mark for 100 BTC ;). That name sounds good and it's a good omen, he can make even 850K bitcoins if he's crafty enough :).

I'm going to do, why not, nothing can be done to get the BTC150 and I'm sure will be many people will do it, and if it was not for one baby, the baby names satoshi will be the most widely used in that year, lol

dude, you're a lunatic.  :P

anyway.. if this is actually happening, I'd snatch a newborn baby somewhere and name it Satoshi by tomorrow. nobody said it had to be mine by blood, right.  ;D

Thats why you go live in Tokyo and marry a beautiful japanese girl and have a kid with her named satoshi. Who wouldn't do this for 150 BTC?

it is a cool name. Satoshi (kanji 聡) have 3 meanings, that is "wise, quick-witted, and clear-thinker."

I imagine Satoshi picked this name because he knows what it means.

I will do it because I am fan of bitcoin.

just fly me to japan and I'll do that for BTC50.  ;D

I think also suffice 10BTC.
Satoshi 's a programmer I respect . :)

Great idea, thanks :)!

I think naming your baby after a sub-unit of Bitcoin is inappropriate. I don`t know how people in here just think about that??!!
What people wouldn`t do for money(bitcoins) in these days? :(  
We must put more value on more important things in life,NOT MONEY. I don`t say that money is not good if you earn it correctly and not by selling your integrity OR your kid`s name..but our lives destiny(goal) is not to make money,but to create a family,maybe a succesfull career and the most important thing to LIVE happily as long as you can!  ;)

I know women called Penny. They are named after a sub-unit of the pound and nobody thinks it's inappropriate.

well said dude, lol   ;D

i dont even know Satoshi means  :o

for 150 btc i think not, bcos if u in japan its good, but if it no in japan it feel weird.

...

LOL. Name your child Satoshi, rename yourself the next subunit to the left, rename your father the next subunit to the left, rename your grandfather the next subunit to the left...

Obtaining the Japanese citizenship is next to impossible if you don't have any Jap blood.


Right now, BTC150 is worth some $ 38,000. And in many countries people are producing babies for just one-tenth of that amount.

Hmm...Origin of Penny: English, diminutive of Penelope

I would for 150 bitcoins hell yes. Then change the babies name to something more normal after I get the bitcoins ;)

Definitely I would do it for the of BTC

The man said it. Who cares about magic?

Before all you can change baby name back:D

you just destroyed my dream  :(
