Naming your child Bitcoin doesn't showcase mass adoption, there are many ways to show to the world that you're a Bitcoin enthusiast rather than naming your child Bitcoin. Judging by the world population we only have about 2% who are Bitcoin enthusiasts. 
If the subject was about you changing your name to Bitcoin we won't disagree with it because you're mature enough to decide what is best for you. Please don't put the child in a position he/she will be bullied in the future.
Thank you

Just naming a child as bitcoin doesn't make sense and it doesn't have anything to do with mass adoption. People go really crazy with these kind of acts. Maybe if the kid have been named Satoshi or Nakamota it is different, that the name is chosen out of the inspiration. No one gonna care about the name, it is just a representation and the real purpose of a name is just to give an identity.

[Stella Mese]

actually, in my opinion, you don't need to promote bitcoin too much with ideas like naming a child, because if you promote bitcoin too much,,
instead it will drop bitcoin as if begging to ask everyone to invest in bitcoin.

but if you want to name your child bitcoin if you are interested, of course you are not wrong because that is your right.

In my opinion, promoting bitcoin is mediocre with simplicity, well, at least we wear hats with the bitcoin logo and so on.

I know this might sound crazy to some persons. Actually, I've been thinking about this for sometime now and I have discussed it with my wife and we have agreed to name our first child bitcoin. We got married last year and we're expecting our first child anytime soon. I'm from a country where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are banned by the government and I think naming my child bitcoin will not be such a bad idea as it would help create awareness about bitcoin. For persons who might have heard about bitcoin, it would make them to be curious as to why I came up with such a name, while others who don't know or haven't heard about bitcoin... It would pop up questions like... what is bitcoin? Who created bitcoin? What are the advantages of bitcoin? How does one acquire bitcoin? etc...  And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large.

it's like bullying your own child. you say you come from a country where bitcoin and all forms of crypto are banned, and you name your child after bitcoin it's like you sacrificed your child just for the positive adoption of bitcoin. that's not a good thing for me.
there is another way to let everyone know about the adoption of bitcoin by putting a sticker on your car or motorbike or any other vehicle that you use everyday, that would be even better.
I myself am a big fan of bitcoin but at least not so crazy like that and you better use another name for your child.

but all of that comes back to yourself if you really want to keep using the bitcoin name for your child, at least you know the risks and know how to overcome everything.

[Hispo]

Well, as people as already said this is not a good idea OP.
Not only because it is unnecessary and your child could end up changing their name when gets to adulthood and may even have a negative impact upon the father-child relationship.

Also, have not you thought that naming your child that way could also bring attention to your Bitcoin holdings?

[adzino]

Yeah, no don't name your kid Bitcoin if you don't want him to get bullied. I bet he is also going to regret and dislike him name. Imagine the price of bitcoin crashing and everyone is upset "at" bitcoin lol. Naming your kid won't make a "mass adoption". It will only create problems in your kids life. Think about his personal, college and professional life before naming him. Choose a name that has positive implication and is going to be well received by most people.

[btc78]

I'm a big supporter of bitcoin but I don't think that is a good idea at all.
People will just think you are crazy, and bitcoin doesn't need to have the image of its supporters being crazy.

You can go around wearing a nice bitcoin t-shirt or hat, or even a jacket with the bitcoin logo on it is a good way of engaging people in casual conversation about bitcoin.

or at least he can give it to her son as NickName and not completely His name in school right? like what you said it is like a crazy idea and the same question will go in the future if What would Her Son thinks when he grew up and then Bitcoin had gone?(i'm not telling bitcoin will die soon but Am just being realistic here)

OP? Please don't , give your child a better name to become and not just for adoption.

[autumnleaf]

Parents can generally give their kids any name they like. But I think it's totally improper to name your child Bitcoin because it will later lead to issues for them. You can promote Bitcoin in your community in a variety of ways, but avoid involving your kids in your promotions.

While parents have complete rights when it comes to naming their children, you need to remember that you are not going to be the one suffering the consequences of having such an unusual name, your kid will be the one to suffer from bullying for a great deal of their life.

Tell me would you like your name to be telephone, computer, internet or smartphone? If that is not the case then avoid doing this to your child, instead give them a name which they may like.

[boldandbrave]

That's too much. If you are obsessed with bitcoin, just collect kinds of stuff with the bitcoin logo or bitcoin tattoos on your body. Don't sacrifice other people for your obsession. You only think about yourself, your thoughts, and your desires but you don't think about the impact and consequences on your child if you make bitcoin as your child's name.

[Darker45]

Quite frankly, this is a stupid idea. And I don't agree that if a baby is named Bitcoin, he/she is going to contribute to Bitcoin's adoption. It won't, unless perhaps if you name him/her "Bitcoin is an immutable decentralized peer-to-peer censorship-resistant currency." Now, that is ridiculous. But I'm not trying to be funny.

Please give your little angel a truly beautiful and neutral name. Don't make fun of him/her, or embarrass him/her someday. Please don't make him/her the butt of other children's jokes.

And since you share this idea with your wife, I suggest that you two visit a child development expert or a family therapist or whatever professional that would give you some nice and enlightening guidance.

[uneng]

Hehe... Imagine he naming his offspring Bitcoin, and everytime the kid is taken to government's institutions for different reasons along the life, public employees and authorities in general taking it with a big grain of salt, possibly going ahead and investigating further OP and his familly, in search for possible Bitcoin tracks. That is indeed not a good idea to name your child Bitcoin in a country where Bitcoin is illegal. It will surely attract a lot of undesirable attention, leading to negative consequences for him, as a BTC enthusiast and adopter.

~Snip~ I picked this unusual name for my child because I believe in it, it's potential and I think it is more than just a cryptocurrency. It is a new method of looking at finance and having an identity of oneself as a player in the financial world. It is a revolution cutting across the financial sector like a wide fire and I'm happy to be part of it.

Every religion has a role model, so it reflects parents in naming their children, but that doesn't mean that the name will influence the child to follow the success of that figure. Whatever effort you make in giving names to children really depends on how you educate them. Representation of the character's name does not really affect the development of children, because the biggest effort is your upbringing which will bring them to a more successful place.

This kind of idea looks a little crazy, there will be many impacts that will be felt by children when they grow up and you should not do this, if you don't want your child to become mentally dependent during the maturity process.

~Snip~  And this would accord me the opportunity to enlighten them about bitcoin and the advantages it has. I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large.

The efforts you make will only speed up the occurrence of some harsh words for your child. Bitcoin doesn't need this kind of effort in my opinion, it's even better if you use other efforts that are educational in nature, for example wearing clothes and hats with the bitcoin logo or you can also use how to put bitcoin stickers on vehicles, these efforts are more effective and able to provide education about bitcoin which humanist towards people.

Good day guys! I would really like your input on this subject. It is the joy of every parent to see their children standout and excel in life and when these little ones are born parents bestow upon them names according to their tradition or culture, religion, places they like or have been to etc. Some of these names can contribute greatly to the success of a child while others has nothing or little impact on a child.

That's pretty cool. Make him a sister/brother and name her/him litecoin or ethereum. Maybe 100 years from now, bitcoin would be a common name among people. Who knows?

-What's your name?
+My name is Bitcoin. Bitcoin Bond.
-Who is your sister?
+Ethereum. Ethereum Cash.

A bitcoin bond would be cool too but it is kind of tricky because bitcoin has limited supply and nobody wants to borrow something that has a limited supply. People borrow USD because they know that they will make a profit since the USD always loses its purchasing power in the long term.

One of the rights of the child is to be given a good name by his parent because it would be an insult for him when he will become a teenager because they will bully him/her. As a parent, we need to strive to protect our children from that and we need to know how to distinguish our responsibility to them from our hobby. Most people took the trend too far when they wanted to promote bitcoins and I think this is one of the worse things you can do to your child. Same for those parents who named their children Covid-19 and other pandemic-related stuff.

[Erumo]

Change your surname to Transaction, coz then you could "Send Bitcoin Transaction" to kindergarten or school. FFS amazed how stupid you are to give a child such a name. Why not name your kid Success ? Who needs adoption, when you will always have a Success? And you even convinced your wife to accept this name... Put a Bitcoin tattoo on your forehead, it will also bring closer mass adoption.

[Crypt0Gore]

Promoting bitcoin by all means is good but naming your kid bitcoin is going to far, my answer is a big NO because if your kid grows and finds out you did this while Bitcoin is not performing better anymore he will curse you, imagine something better than Bitcoin is born 10 years to this time, do not ruin your kids life, this is like making his future uncertainty.

[jaberwock]

Want your child to be bullied? Because that's definitely one way for your child to be bullied.

If you want to make an homage to Bitcoin, probably at least pick Satoshi or Hal instead?

this will happen when the child has entered elementary school and even the upper class later,
it's true you said it's better to use the name shatosi than bitcoin

there are lots of ways to mass adopt bitcoin, supposedly

it's better to think again about naming your child bitcoin , OP

There are people who named their child after an anime character, video game character, and movie character. It can sound a little weird especially if we know that the character is not a human but I think naming our child after a currency is much worse plus I never hear any person who did this. I agree with you and @mk4. Satoshi and other faketoshi names sounds better than Bitcoin.

And as you said, there are still lots of ways to spread the word Bitcoin. If we really want to help then we can post banners telling that we support BTC in our business or simply conduct a Bitcoin education. Just prepare some small reward to entice people. Rewards can be given on bitcoin too.

[Nerdy doctor]

It’s entirely left to you to do whatever you want to do OP. You’ve seen and read the opinions of other members on your idea of naming your child bitcoin. I don’t know how you came about believing naming your child bitcoin would help along the process of mass adoption worldwide.

Naming your child bitcoin would probably bring him a lot of attention. And a lot of that attention could turn out to be negative attention. I must admit, people give their children names based on different things, innovations and sometimes circumstances that may be going on in one’s life at that point in time.

Please be considerate when giving a name to your child. Know that the child would have to answer that name for life(except a change of name is later done).
