Are you on weed or something? Do you know what the impact of Name is in someone's life? If you name your child Bitcoin and something unexpected happens to Bitcoin in future it means you have ruined your child's life, he will be nothing but a failure at that point in time. And mind you, Names are forever magnet 🧲 that can never be erased till death comes.

A nickname is better, not the actual name.

I don't think it's a good idea,  to name your child after bitcoin,
it would be nice to give a normal name, when your child is small you can't argue with what you give, don't make your child look different from the others because that will make your child's mentality not good in the future because of a name

[Adbitco]

This won't contributes to the max adoption of bitcoin either would your first baby makes it popular to people around your locality.
Basically as a newborn baby the would not have any effects to promotes bitcoin, it's only something moveable that can travel very far or within your state and locality that could be possible be named bitcoin. For instance, your cars, motorbike, or your T-shirts or shoes can be presented bitcoin on it maybe whenever you drive by people could likely asked you about to know why you printed them all over, then you may start introducing it to them and telling them. But the Idea of naming your first child bitcoin doesn't really goes well.

Besides are you a presenter or a TV host, a Press?

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

[crwth]

This is the first time I read a post about naming their offspring Bitcoin. I know there are a lot of BTC maximalists that would do the following

• Getting Tattoos about BTC
• Traveling to BTC-adapted places
• Collecting BTC memorabilia
• Dressing up as BTC on halloween

You could do those things, but naming someone would be different. Imagine the future of your child. It's not a good idea, but I hope you do what you feel is best. It's still up to you.

I do not think this would augur well in the nearest future if your child grows up. Bitcoin does not need one to bear it as a name. It has already made a niche for itself so therefore naming your child bitcoin would have no significant effect on it as there has already been a platform for which bitcoin has thread  up on for so long. Bitcoin has come a long way to this point of no return that one would answer it as a name to create awareness about it. I would advise you think of something else to name your child as it does not ryhme and not in terms. Save yourself the stress of complaint of bully from your child in the nearest future. I think you should look for a more suitable name for your child because answering bitcoin would not in any way aid in bitcoin adoption and promotion as it already has that done for itself.

I think it's kinda weird, but you know what? Your life, so your rules.

Many congratulations on the birth of your child. I agree with you, the birth of a child brings joy and happiness to the home. However, I strongly advice against you naming your kid after bitcoin. If public awareness is what you seek you could buy a dog, a cat or whatever animal and called them bitcoin. You could brand your car with a bitcoin sticker. You could have bitcoin graffiti on your house. You could start a blog and write expensively about bitcoin. You could vlog about bitcoin. You could buy airtime on radio and talk about bitcoin. There's a lot a ways to create awareness but not by naming your kid bitcoin. Think critically about it.

Am just suprise seeing this thread, to be honest it really sounds crazy to me, why will you name your child bitcoin, I don't think it's really okay, I think if you are looking for a way to spread bitcoin adoption, then you should look for a better way, but naming your child bitcoin is not really okay to me. But everything is left to you and your wife, if you still want to name your child bitcoin, then no problem but hope your child won't end up regretting later in the future?

I don't think that it will be important for you to listen to my opinion, which doesn't support your choice if you have already decided on the name for the unborn child, but I will nevertheless voice this as an alternative vision for your situation.

I don't approve of your decision because the mass adoption for bitcoin has to go the other way. Now quite exotic names for children have become widespread, against the background of which Bitcoin will be lost and will not stand out in any way. I doubt that someone, having heard such a strange name, will wonder what kind of technology it is and you should definitely study what it is. Bitcoin should be distributed as a means of payment or an investment vehicle, a completely new technology with many possibilities, and not as a fancy name for a child. Therefore, I believe that the goals you are pursuing will not be achieved in this way. I gave my opinion, whether you like it or not.

I think naming my child bitcoin will not be such a bad idea as it would help create awareness about bitcoin.

And then have him painted yellow, tattoo a BTC on his forehead, and use him as your advertising puppet!

Because yeah, who cares about what your kid will think, who cares what might happen 5 years from now just like those morons who named their kid Daenerys and now have to listen to how she is being bullied and getting called names because their parents have nothing better to do than name it after a character they knew shit about.

Don't you have any other way of raising awareness now, and not waiting 7 years to make a kid and name him like that?

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

Or better this with Harold, 'cause that was his real name and you don't risk screwing your kid's life!  
Besides, I don't think that many would know what Hal refers to, if one more movie gets made from the Space Odyssey series, 99% will think of the computer rather than Hal Finney when hearing the name!

But yes, if you go back to the heyday of the USSR, then you, OP, would be on the same footing with these idiots.

Worse things can happen.
You can name your girl Candida, that's Latin for "glowing white" only to see how a few decades later that is used mainly for describing gut and vaginal infection.

It is understandable that you are passionate about Bitcoin and see potential in it, but naming your child after a cryptocurrency is not a good idea. A child's name is an important aspect of their identity and it should be chosen carefully, as it will have a lasting impact on them throughout their life. Naming your child after a cryptocurrency, especially one that is banned in your country, could potentially put them at risk and cause difficulties for them in the future. Additionally, there are other ways to promote Bitcoin and educate others about it without involving your child's name. It would be best to choose a name for your child that is meaningful and has personal significance to you and your family.

[bittraffic]

I think there was also a thread about naming a child "Satoshi" I tried searching for it but I couldn't find it anymore. I think the name Satoshi is fine but Bitcoin as a name will be a terrible idea.

Of all names you could think of, your child will definitely question you about it. You could at least try something that sounds like a name but without the word "COIN" on it such as Cryptopher or Peertopher. 

[Yatsan]

If you are really into something olease don't involve or forcefully relate it to other individual other than yourself. You just removed the rights of your child to have a 'normal' life. What could happen? You are being too delusional I guess, sorry. What if issues happen in the future concerning this blockchain? what if your child get bullied? What will you do? Solve it yourself? this is being selfish if this is true. Bitcoin indeed is a good invention but this is just too much as others have mentioned. I am saying this 'coz I know someone did the same thing but on different thing. His child became the center of attention;both good and bad because of its 'weird' name. One thing I've learned? orevention is better than cure. Be responsible enough before making a decision.

[virasog]

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.

Yes, i agree that naming children bitcoin or maybe ethereum is not a good idea.
Have you ever seen any person name like Dollar or Euro or Pound ? I haven't seen such names in my life, so how can you name a kid bitcoin 
To tell you truth, once such a kid will grow up, people will make fun of him, so avoid such ridiculous names.

[Woodie]

It's not a bad idea to name your child bitcoin, but to be honest it's a very odd name and he could have to explain to everybody how this name came about, but I think either Satoshi or Nakamoto would sit well with him and could grow to like it when he learns of the man's history , better yet call him Cash(Kash) this will relate to someone having money.... Otherwise Names shouldn't be complicated but bitcoin sit well with me.

[schupp]

Naming children is a difficult subject. In the European country where I live, it would probably not be possible to name a child Bitcoin. But in other countries like the US, there seems to be more freedom in this regard.

It is always a question of whether you are doing a child a favor with such an unusual name. I think, rather not. If you absolutely want to give a very unusual name, I would rather consider it as a middle name, for example. For example, Oliver Bitcoin + last name. That way, the child can choose whether to use the middle name in everyday life or to keep it a secret.

Personally, I would not give Bitcoin as a name at all.

[julerz12]

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

I agree. Satoshi or even just Sato is a far better choice than Bitcoin. At least those are somewhat proper names.

@OP don't name your kid with any crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc), it looks odd and would definitely sound odd. Just name him/her properly and teach him/her about crypto and its possibilities at the right age rather than stamping him/her with the identity you have pre-chosen.

PS. Congrats. I typed him/her because I don't know the gender. You're on the road to sleepless nights and packs of diapers. 

[Bitstar_coin]

 I don't know how you managed to convince your wife to agree to this but my Honest opinion is - it should not be the name of a child. Btc is great no doubt but you should look for a name that represents a great meaning, something your child when grown would be proud of.
I doubt your child would be happy with a cryptocurrency name as his/her birth name. You can always support and spread the word of btc in different other ways other than what you have intended. I hope you will reconsider.

[kryptqnick]

I don't think that a name contributes to success, to be honest. If a name is typical, it's probably neutral to whatever the child goes to do. If it's not neutral, it can add some expectations or increase the chance of bullying. I think a name should be appropriate for a culture and that parents should choose either regular names or special names which have positive significance for the community and aren't likely to be a cause of ridicule. Also, keep in mind that a child may decide to relocate, so perhaps at least considering basic context of English should be taken into account as well.
If Bitcoin is banned, you're naming your child as a form of protest, I suppose. I get that, I see how it's inspiring you. But I'd still consider carefully how easy to pronounce the name will be in your local language, whether it has rhymes or similarities with bad words in your language (in mine, for example, 'bit' will be associated with 'to hit someone'), etc. You want a good life for your child, and a name will define this life, at least until a certain age when a person is legally allowed to change it (16, I believe, in my country). So please ask yourself whether your child's interest are best accounted for here.
