Why ? This won't give massive adoption, rather you're harming your unborn child in different ways, what's your aim ? To make him popular, will naming you child Bitcoin bring more Bitcoin or money to you ?
There are better things out there to do to cause mass adoption, a good example I had up in my head some days back would be if Twitter can I something like rewarding 0.3$ per like to the twitter account, u have sat to think of the disadvantages this would also cause too, but I daily think of how and what to do to make the government stand strong with Bitcoin

OP, if I was a granny to that unborn child, should I say your wife, there's no bloody way on earth I'll support that. It'll be better for you to pay the hospital bills with Bitcoin if they accept payments with Bitcoin, that would cause a better awareness than naming you child Bitcoin.

Don't do it mate. But you can name your child anything related to bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto. Maybe Sokashi or Sokabit, Sokamoto or Bitmoto or Bitsokan, etc. It just feels odd if you literally name your child Bitcoin. The child is innocent and maybe he will be ridiculed at school, who knows? Take note that bitcoin will soon be included in our basic education at school since it is part of finance and technology as well. Even some schools' subjects are mentioning bitcoin already. So imagine if the teacher keeps talking about bitcoin and your kid is named Bitcoin.

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.

What kind of issues will it lead to?
You and others are seeing it as a very wrong something because Bitcoin has not made his way through. Assuming Bitcoin is widely accepted by the whole world and also seeing its value very high, will you not agree to name your child Bitcoin?
I am telling you that in the next 10yrs or so if Bitcoin is still in existence and made his way through you will hear many people bearing the name Bitcoin.

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.

Hey, I understand that you do want to support mass adoption of BTC but I think it is going to be significantly unfair for your child to be named as "bitcoin."

If you want to pursue such mass adoption, do it in a way that it will not affect anyone (especially your own child) personally. By naming your child as bitcoin, this does not guarantee mass adoption, though this will definitely guarantee exposure as lots of people and even news anchors would advertise him.

Again, this is definitely not a good idea by any means as there are other options available in order for your dream to materialize.

How many people you know named after a currency. You are going overboard with this Bitcoin promotion stuff. How about you go to the court and add bitcoin to your own name. Have you thought of how this name (if that could be regarded as a real name) would affect his childhood. There are no meaner people in the world than kindergarten kids. That kid is going to get bullied a lot for something he won’t understand till he gets older. IMO find a better way to promote bitcoin without getting the innocent kid in the crossfire.

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.

(Lets say for a sake of argument that this topic is not made for merit fishing purpose) Yeah it definitely makes sense to name your child Bitcoin in the country where bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general are banned. I sure hope that there are some restrictions in Nigeria when it comes to child naming since you obviously lack common sense.

You and others are seeing it as a very wrong something because Bitcoin has not made his way through. Assuming Bitcoin is widely accepted by the whole world and also seeing its value very high, will you not agree to name your child Bitcoin?
I am telling you that in the next 10yrs or so if Bitcoin is still in existence and made his way through you will hear many people bearing the name Bitcoin.

And what if in 10 years Bitcoin is still banned in Nigeria and people even start getting persecuted for it, how do you think child life will be? There are so many other way to raise awareness about Bitcoin instead making your child life more complicated than it should be.
