LOL, I know that there are people who would really do this kind of things to their kid.
I saw some who post their kids birth certificate on social media and the names are from their favorite character's.
To be honest I am really sad for those kid like when they grow up and ask about their name that's all that they could say while others came from something special.

Am sure this is just a kind of rhetorical question, because if it is not, it might be considered as one. The thought to name a child after a business or company might have life long impact on such a child as you may already know. Also, I think unlike what FTX is undergoing right now, these businesses, unless the original name of an owner is adopted to form this business as part of a lifelong legacy of a person, then rarely does it happen.
You as the parent will not understand what it is like to live with such a name, hence why these children use aliases as they grow up to avoid the drama.

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.

Good point, it's really a terrible idea and bitcoin's future is not yet guaranteed nor defined so even if the OP and his wife are an avid supporter of bitcoin, things could still go wrong in the expense of his child's life because they named the child "Bitcoin". Worse case scenario, the child's childhood experience will be ruined because he or she will be teased and bullied for sure, moreover, that same child will be famous instantly too but not in a good way.
This is a stupid idea and you want to gamble with the happiness and freedom of your first child. OP, let me tell you,assuming you don't even know anything about bitcoin and you didn't contribute to the awareness of bitcoin, bitcoin will still be what it is and still maintains it value and purpose.
Bitcoin has so many enemies,likewise Satoshi himself,just imagine what will happen to your child. There are different ways that you can promote bitcoin,you can put a bitcoin tatoo on you if you love tattoos or draw it on the wall of your outside gate..LOL
Do you know that the kind of name you give to your child can ruin or make him

It is better to name your child with a name that has good meaning and meaning so that it will bring goodness to your child in the future. And what you should know is that there are lots of people here and even out there who admire and even really like bitcoin but don't think as far as you do, and I think that's a ridiculous idea.
and I think now and for the future everyone knows what bitcoin is and also what it does, they're just afraid of its volatility, regulation, and also afraid of loss. And what must be applied is how you explain properly and fundamentally so that they believe in what you explain about bitcoin and become interested, not naming your child bitcoin, pity your child later.

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.

I surely hope that you will hold that thought and give some lots of time thinking more about it because that kind of move that you guys are thinking won't be redone that easily once your 1st child will be born as changing name isn't that cheap. Besides, I'm quite certain that your child won't appreciate naming him/her after a cryptocurrency especially after the fact that you guys are from a country where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are banned.
There are a lot of ways to show awareness and support towards cryptocurrency but naming your child after it is really a bad idea.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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