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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

it's like bullying your own child. you say you come from a country where bitcoin and all forms of crypto are banned, and you name your child after bitcoin it's like you sacrificed your child just for the positive adoption of bitcoin. that's not a good thing for me.
there is another way to let everyone know about the adoption of bitcoin by putting a sticker on your car or motorbike or any other vehicle that you use everyday, that would be even better.
I myself am a big fan of bitcoin but at least not so crazy like that and you better use another name for your child.

but all of that comes back to yourself if you really want to keep using the bitcoin name for your child, at least you know the risks and know how to overcome everything.

instead it will drop bitcoin as if begging to ask everyone to invest in bitcoin.

but if you want to name your child bitcoin if you are interested, of course you are not wrong because that is your right.

Just naming a child as bitcoin doesn't make sense and it doesn't have anything to do with mass adoption. People go really crazy with these kind of acts. Maybe if the kid have been named Satoshi or Nakamota it is different, that the name is chosen out of the inspiration. No one gonna care about the name, it is just a representation and the real purpose of a name is just to give an identity.

OP, do you care about your child's future?... so I hope you come up with a better name for your child. Because if a child in the class has a name that is unique or unusual at that time. so you have to be prepared if at any time your child will complain to you that he has been bullied at school because of your name.

I love Bitcoins. But that doesn't mean we have to go that far. Like if we like money, it doesn't mean that our children can be named money. Give a name that is common but beautiful to pronounce and has the meaning of a prayer or a good hope for the child in the future.

If you want to spread awareness about bitcoin. So it's better if you do it another way. like wearing a t-shirt with the bitcoin logo. or something like that. or even provide education to the closest people about bitcoin. well the point is there are still many ways that can be used as an option in spreading awareness about bitcoin.

Just imagine the future of the child if you will name Bitcoin to him/her, bullying might also be the problem so better not to use this one and go for alternative option to help spread awareness, sharing is still a good one.

and that may pose risk on his situation. since he mentioned that btc or any other crypto is banned in his place, it may attract attention from authorities, and possibly do a digging on his personal life or financials. as much as he wants to name his child - Bitcoin, better be discreet with his crypto dealings as his safety is at risk. i would say it is okay if his government is neutral at least with crypto market, but if it is banned, better not give any reason to the authorities to poke his life.

Naming your child Bitcoin won't help the community or Bitcoin itself. But all the problems you will face will be towards yourself and your child. Don't make that baby regret his life, man, seriously. If you like bitcoin so much, then that's a good thing, but dragging it into your personal life is not that wise. Don't make him/her a subject of a meme. Bullying is real, and you should know it the best giving the fact that you are a father now, and you have also lived that life too.

You weren't able to get a user nickname related to bitcoin here in the forum and you come to put it into practice with your son, so good.

If you want that name for your son, let it be because you like it, although I don't share that idea of using things, places, etc.

Someone used a similar context a long time ago in a thread similar to what you are suggesting and at that moment I repeat it here, there is a law in Honduras that allows its citizens to change their names and in fact the public officials who working to register have the right to prohibit that newborns be given "arbitrary" names.

Both things are a bit crazy, prohibiting (Government) and thinking that a father can place his son "Bujia" "Terminator" Swarzzeneger "etc ...

But you overcome yourself and you put yourself above those two situations, come on! You is really crazy and it is to reach another level, to think that by simply giving him a certain name a child will achieve certain objectives.

Think about it, imagine that if a child gets name "climate change" the earth will achieve a better destiny. Or by naming your child "Depression" we will raise awareness.

I think you are a Troll or are you looking at an "LCD" screen a lot and with the known Polysemy sense of word.

I appreciate your intention, mate.

I know you want to see mass adoption soon for Bitcoin, it is good for sure.
But you need to choose a proper way to contribute to Bitcoin mass adoption. Naming your child Bitcoin isn't the right way to Bitcoin mass adoption. Instead, people will assume you are too fanatic about Bitcoin. People won't be interested in Bitcoin in this way, they even will stay away from Bitcoin. They need proof that Bitcoin is useful for them, not to see Bitcoin as the name of someone.

Op I didn't check your post history but the way you sounded, I mean your write up, your intonation, accent all in one looks like a Nigerian. By the way, I don't think that idea of naming your child is very wrong, you are a newbie and you know bitcoin very well I doubt. But before you name your child BITCOIN please I will advise you to go and do more research on bitcoin before you do that. And also naming a child BITCOIN will not create massive adoption of bitcoin, the name will only be call by his peers and others. And if really you want to call your baby bitcoin you won't come here because real names in the forum is anonymous and you know that and that is why even you too didn't use your real name. So don't come and deceive us here. I strongly believe that you are not naming your child BITCOIN but this thread is for another thing else.

This is too much friends, I know you are doing this to make you really sure about bitcoin but indeed naming your child after bitcoin is overkill.
It's not that this will concern your future unless you are ready to take risks like what other friends have said, such as bullying and so on.
We have to know that sometimes too much is also not good, I prefer to wear some accessories like clothes and so on rather than doing things like that for your child.

Infact, naming your child bitcoin will set him up to being the next generation celebrity.

In the country I come from, people name their children "Money" or "Cash".
Bitcoin is money and nothing else.

Sometimes people surprise me, and the replies I saw in this thread from a bitcointalk community is discouraging and purely irrational.

OP, congratulation in advance to name your first child Bitcoin which your wife accepted based on the love and believe both of you have in Bitcoin. I have seen Many people named their children government, iron, Toyota, money not that they are crazy but the love they have in a particular thing that made them to give such name to their children in the land. I guess, this name will surely bring favour to your family and country because the man that made Bitcoin legal in the El Salvador has so much love in Bitcoin and he believe what Bitcoin can do to their citizens not to experience lack of financial and job opportunities in the country.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Making awareness of Bitcoin can be done in different ways especially in social medias and also by teaching close once. Sometimes people even find what is good and benefit by themselves not still we continue to make awareness of it. I believe Bitcoin is a better alternative currency to fiat currency and also good investment idea that people will later be looking for not still make much awareness of it. so i don't make much awareness rather than people see in me.

there are many ways that can be used to raise awareness about bitcoin, and that doesn't mean you have to give your child's name Bitcoin, which will stick with him for the rest of his life. You don't even know if your child will like the name or will become the bully of his friends.

The same goes for bitcoin lovers and I deal with bitcoin on a daily basis, but when dealing with children's names I would prefer a name that is more appropriate.
But back to yourself as a parent, whether this is wise or not. it is also your right and no one forbids it.

Do not worry about bitcoin adoption, you do not have to name your child bitcoin, no one name their child bitcoin and the adoption is all what we could see. There are other ways you can help like teaching others about bitcoin, having a seminar about bitcoin and helping in the decentralisation of bitcoin and its network and by being one of the people that buy and hold bitcoin. You do not have to name your child bitcoin.

As you said about teaching about bitcoin, giving understanding through social media, and many more ways that are commonly used.
In fact, it is more effective.

Bitcoin adoption will continue as time goes by, there is no need to make ridiculous things by giving a child a name that is not a human nickname.

You have said that you have chosen such name, because you believe in Bitcoins potential. What an awful way to express your support. If you are such a Bitcoin believer, why dont you have changed your name and surname? You know that adults can change their given name? Try it first on yourself.

If i were you i would rather change my own name to bitcoin than giving my newly born child a name that does not have a religious or cultural meaning or interpretation, bitcoin is good and can be adopted as alias (nickname) but consider how your child will feels when he grew up to discover you gave him that name out of millions of names available across the world, it also gives people a clue to what you do as it's just like announcing yourself that you're into bitcoin on your child's naming day, dont you consider privacy for yourself as well, lastly people bear names like "Creflo A. Dolla" which has a meaning behind why the name is taught but in case of bitcoin, am totally in support of bearing the name but it would have been for yourself and not the new born child.

Do not worry about bitcoin adoption, you do not have to name your child bitcoin, no one name their child bitcoin and the adoption is all what we could see. There are other ways you can help like teaching others about bitcoin, having a seminar about bitcoin and helping in the decentralisation of bitcoin and its network and by being one of the people that buy and hold bitcoin. You do not have to name your child bitcoin.

I am also of the same opinion that naming your child bitcoin won't help in mass adoption as there are many other ways for it.See your thought process is good but when implemented in reality then it doesn't sound so good because we are talking about the life of child and the name should be decent not bitcoin specifically.You can have awareness camps or set up some educational classes for people around you or make masses aware about it with your children education about it so they can help others when they grow up but leave naming him/her with bitcoin.

Definitely fishing. OP, what else would you do for money? If someone wants to advertise something, should children suffer from their idiocy? If I had been named after any discovery at the time of my birth, I would have simply hated my father.
But yes, if you go back to the heyday of the USSR, then you, OP, would be on the same footing with these idiots.

Quote

Technology and Sciences
The USSR actively developed science, so many parents borrowed their children’s names from science. For exampe: from athematics – Algebrina and Gipotenuza (algebra and hypotenuse), from physics – Om(Ohm), Elektrina (electricity), from chemistry – the names of minerals and chemical elements: Rubin (ruby), Granit (granite), Radiy (radium), Geliy (helium), Volfram (wolfram), etc.

OP, I understand that you love bitcoins and you want to play your part in ensuring that Bitcoin get adopted majorly but I don't think that naming your child Bitcoin is a good idea because names are powerful and children often share the attributes of the name they carry in my culture. Bitcoin is good yes and we all love it but you should also understand that bitcoin is sometimes unstable and unpredictable, so deciding to name your child bitcoin means that you are prepared for a child who may be sometimes unstable and unpredictable to you as they get older.

There are other ways to promote Mass Adoption, you don't need to name your child bitcoins.

There are many ways to create bitcoin awareness and interest from people in your area without using and compromising your child for that purpose. I wouldn't like if my parents named me Dollar, Euro, Yuan, Yen and so on... Probably nobody would like to.

Anyway, since Bitcoin is forbidden in your country, I think you won't be able to register your child with this name. A country which is so strict at the point of banning Bitcoin, must be also strict regards the names babies born there receive.

I am a big supporter of Bitcoin but it doesn't mean I would name my child as Bitcoin. Think about your child's future. He might be objectified due to his name in the school. This name can also invite unwanted attention. I personally don't like your idea but it is your baby you can do whatever you want to do. BTW congratulations!

Congratulations man, way to go bud! Is it a girl or boy?
Imagine your kid growing up asking on internet who made, created bitcoin? And sees the answer Satoshi, the kid comes to you and says: daddy why did you lie to me?
When your kid grows up and becomes an adult, imagine a boyfriend/girlfriend saying I had sex with bitcoin.🤣

Sorry I have a mind of a pervert couldn't help not bringing sex to the mix.🤭

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?

I assume this is a click bait post, but if it is not, then it is quite an unnecessary approach naming someone what they may or may not be interested in. Allow your child grow and explore all their investment options while guiding them with relevant knowledge and information.

I believe this would in a little way help promote mass adoption of in my locality and the nation at large.

Almost certainly not. No one would purchase an asset cause a random person bears that name, it would just be a story for bloggers at a time and can attract little attention, but nothing in the long term.

Quote from: sokani on January 16, 2023, 11:48:30 PM

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.

How about starting a course to teach about bitcoin and interested people would find you out?

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.
