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.

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.

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.

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?

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. Cheesy

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.

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. 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.

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
