Help[Opinions] Re: LOL!
in reply to a message by Sofia
Well, my 3-year-old nephew is obsessed with Mario and my son just became obsessed with Mario Kart, so... :)
Although when I worked at a Burger King in high school, we had Mario toys for the kids meals once and some 6ish year old was there with his grandmother. She asked what kind of toys we had and when I said Mario, the boy said, "What's that?" And I was sad.
I agree, I wouldn't let video games or cartoons necessarily stop me from using a name I liked, unless like you point out they're very strongly tied and somewhat negatively so. It would be something I'd take into consideration when deciding amongst other names though.
