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.

I assume this is a click bait post, but if it is not, then it is quite an unnecessary approach naming someone what they may or may not be interested in. Allow your child grow and explore all their investment options while guiding them with relevant knowledge and information.

I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large.

Almost certainly not. No one would purchase an asset cause a random person bears that name, it would just be a story for bloggers at a time and can attract little attention, but nothing in the long term.

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.

How about starting a course to teach about bitcoin and interested people would find you out?

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?

[digaran]

Congratulations man, way to go bud! Is it a girl or boy?
Imagine your kid growing up asking on internet who made, created bitcoin? And sees the answer Satoshi, the kid comes to you and says: daddy why did you lie to me?
When your kid grows up and becomes an adult, imagine a boyfriend/girlfriend saying I had sex with bitcoin.🤣

Sorry I have a mind of a pervert couldn't help not bringing sex to the mix.🤭

[pakhitheboss]

I am a big supporter of Bitcoin but it doesn't mean I would name my child as Bitcoin. Think about your child's future. He might be objectified due to his name in the school. This name can also invite unwanted attention. I personally don't like your idea but it is your baby you can do whatever you want to do. BTW  congratulations!

[uneng]

There are many ways to create bitcoin awareness and interest from people in your area without using and compromising your child for that purpose. I wouldn't like if my parents named me Dollar, Euro, Yuan, Yen and so on... Probably nobody would like to.

Anyway, since Bitcoin is forbidden in your country, I think you won't be able to register your child with this name. A country which is so strict at the point of banning Bitcoin, must be also strict regards the names babies born there receive.

[Rruchi man]

OP, I understand that you love bitcoins and you want to play your part in ensuring that Bitcoin get adopted majorly but I don't think that naming your child Bitcoin is a good idea because names are powerful and children often share the attributes of the name they carry in my culture. Bitcoin is good yes and we all love it but you should also understand that bitcoin is sometimes  unstable and unpredictable, so deciding to name your child bitcoin means that you are prepared for a child who may be sometimes unstable and unpredictable to you as they get older.

There are other ways to promote Mass Adoption, you don't need to name your child bitcoins.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Definitely fishing. OP, what else would you do for money? If someone wants to advertise something, should children suffer from their idiocy? If I had been named after any discovery at the time of my birth, I would have simply hated my father.
But yes, if you go back to the heyday of the USSR, then you, OP, would be on the same footing with these idiots.

Technology and Sciences
The USSR actively developed science, so many parents borrowed their children’s names from science. For exampe: from athematics – Algebrina and Gipotenuza (algebra and hypotenuse), from physics – Om(Ohm), Elektrina (electricity), from chemistry – the names of minerals and chemical elements: Rubin (ruby), Granit (granite), Radiy (radium), Geliy (helium), Volfram (wolfram), etc.

I am also of the same opinion that naming your child bitcoin won't help in mass adoption as there are many other ways for it.See your thought process is good but when implemented in reality then it doesn't sound so good because we are talking about the life of child and the name should be decent not bitcoin specifically.You can have awareness camps or set up some educational classes for people around you or make masses aware about it with your children education about it so they can help others when they grow up but leave naming him/her with bitcoin.

[Oshosondy]

Do not worry about bitcoin adoption, you do not have to name your child bitcoin, no one name their child bitcoin and the adoption is all what we could see. There are other ways you can help like teaching others about bitcoin, having a seminar about bitcoin and helping in the decentralisation of bitcoin and its network and by being one of the people that buy and hold bitcoin. You do not have to name your child bitcoin.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

If i were you i would rather change my own name to bitcoin than giving my newly born child a name that does not have a religious or cultural meaning or interpretation, bitcoin is good and can be adopted as alias (nickname) but consider how your child will feels when he grew up to discover you gave him that name out of millions of names available across the world, it also gives people a clue to what you do as it's just like announcing yourself that you're into bitcoin on your child's naming day, dont you consider privacy for yourself as well, lastly people bear names like "Creflo A. Dolla" which has a meaning behind why the name is taught but in case of bitcoin, am totally in support of bearing the name but it would have been for yourself and not the new born child.

[xSkylarx]

Sorry, but did you make up the way you told this story for attention or merit? But okay, let's just assume you have an upcoming child and decide to name it a bitcoin. My input was that it was a dumb idea. I know we love bitcoin, but naming our child after it is the wrong move. I wouldn't agree on this, and it is not nice because for sure he/she will be bullied at school because of this, and for sure he/she will be hardheaded towards you and ask why you named him Bitcoin. Give your child a decent name, not bitcoin.

[siedemtrzy]

As everybody said, I think that's a bad idea. Most likely your child will be bullied and have a rough childhood. Kids won't be interested in what Bitcoin is, they'll just make fun of the poor kid. And Imagine if BTC will just lose its power and won't grow as we expect.

[bakasabo]

My advice to sokani is to stop spoiling your child life. As people said, 100% your child is going to be bullied. The kids are very cruel, sometimes unintentionally. If you want your child to grow non-confident, secretive or even alone - continue what you are doing.

You have said that you have chosen such name, because you believe in Bitcoins potential. What an awful way to express your support. If you are such a Bitcoin believer, why dont you have changed your name and surname? You know that adults can change their given name? Try it first on yourself.

[taufik123]

there are many ways that can be used to raise awareness about bitcoin, and that doesn't mean you have to give your child's name Bitcoin, which will stick with him for the rest of his life. You don't even know if your child will like the name or will become the bully of his friends.

The same goes for bitcoin lovers and I deal with bitcoin on a daily basis, but when dealing with children's names I would prefer a name that is more appropriate.
But back to yourself as a parent, whether this is wise or not. it is also your right and no one forbids it.

Do not worry about bitcoin adoption, you do not have to name your child bitcoin, no one name their child bitcoin and the adoption is all what we could see. There are other ways you can help like teaching others about bitcoin, having a seminar about bitcoin and helping in the decentralisation of bitcoin and its network and by being one of the people that buy and hold bitcoin. You do not have to name your child bitcoin.

As you said about teaching about bitcoin, giving understanding through social media, and many more ways that are commonly used.
In fact, it is more effective.

Bitcoin adoption will continue as time goes by, there is no need to make ridiculous things by giving a child a name that is not a human nickname.

[hatshepsut93]

This is a highly selfish and irresponsible act. Having stupid name will create a lot of problems for any person, biggest of all being bullying, but also people not taking them seriously, not trusting their identity and so on. And it would achieve absolutely nothing for Bitcoin. US dollar or Mastercard or PayPal didn't become adopted because people named their children in their name. They became popular because they offered good utility.

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

Even Satoshi or Hal will get a kid bullied, unless they are Japanese or American. Children are merciless.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Seriously, I don't think there will be anybody that will advise you to name your child Bitcoin just because you want to make awareness of it or for the love you have for it. So op go and get a better religious or culture name for your child.but I am not saying that Bitcoin is a bad as name because I don't know your point of views but as for my own views naming your child is not appropriate op.

Making awareness of Bitcoin can be done in different ways especially in social medias and also by teaching close once. Sometimes people even find what is good and benefit by themselves not still we continue to make awareness of it. I believe Bitcoin is a better alternative currency to fiat currency and also good investment idea that people will later be looking for not still make much awareness of it. so i don't make much awareness rather than people see in me.

[Jawhead999]

Why you're not change your name to Bitcoin or add "Bitcoin" as your middle name, let's see what will your life be after that change. If you think the change is good, you can name your child with Bitcoin. You need to think and try it first before do anything to your child, it's a selfish act and I hope no one will have a same mind like you.

I just imagine if my friend name is Bitcoin, any people will ask for Bitcoin and bully your kid if he's not own any Bitcoin.

[sunsilk]

We're all for bitcoin but I think naming it after bitcoin is really an odd and crazy idea. Think of your child if by the time that she/he is able to play with friends, what do you want your child to be called?

Who created bitcoin?

There will be kid philosophers that will answer this and will say, it's you and your wife.

I think it's okay to think of a better name than bitcoin or have it named to your car or any object but not to your kid.
