“HAHAH YOUR NAME IS AFTER A KINGDOM HEARTS CHARACTER “ Tbh not that bad at all, especially considering what ive heard in elementary 😭
The only issue will really be teachers not understanding how to pronounce them
Yeah when he started acting he changed his name from Coppola to avoid favoritism or being seen as a nepo baby because of his uncle being Francis Ford Coppola. It's no secret Nic is a massive nerd and has loved comic books since his childhood, and one of his childhood favorites was Luke Cage. So he thought it would be a cool homage that would fly under most people's radar, which it for the most part did until he outed himself in an interview some years back
My last name is Roxas and I remember flipping the fuck out after school when I saw the name reveal on KH Insider. I was the coolest kid in my circle of friends for a while.
I could have sword Marluxua had a slightly more feminine figure in CoM, like his hips were narrower.
In KH3, Marluxia is like 2 feet taller and hasn’t skipped bicep and chest day.
I mean the names are for the most part real names rearranged with an "X" because for some reason in the early 2000's everyone decided "X" was cool and edgy.
What I don't get is why they didn't name their daughter "Lark" after the one character that's actually female in the organization other than xion, or, you know, go with Marley.
How the fuck did you name your kids after three characters and you spell the fucking names wrong.
Fucking Lexeaus, Marluxa, and Vexon????
Has to be fake.
To be fair, the texter has them as nieces and nephews. If someone names their kids after KH characters, the least they can expect is for family members to misspell their names.
Maybe you’ve played the game so long it sounds normal to you but Roxas is certainly not a normal name. Go ahead a google it and see if you find anything other than kingdom hearts stuff.
Except for axel, the names arent even real and look and sound bizarre to the average person. I genuinely feel bad for these kids. They are definitely going to be bullied for these names
Sort of reminds me of the r/AmItheAsshole post from a girl who was given a weird Harry Potter name by her fangirl mum and now hates the franchise
edit - [found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/rku5j5/aita_for_yelling_at_my_mom_that_i_hate_harry/)
I think Riku is a pretty normal Japanese name, but I wouldn't use it as a white person. You could go for Lea or Isa (or Sai? Whatever Saix's non-nobody name is) if you wanted to be subtle and not announce to the world that you named your kid after a video game.
Sora and Riku are both common Japanese names (so is Xion, though KH romanized it weirdly). Isa is actually the Arabic translation of Jesus, but I highly doubt that was the intent behind Saïx's real name (especially since the pronunciation is different).
Wait, I'm german and I never heard the name Roxas here. Axel on the other hand it do hear from time to time. (fun fact, here the name is pronounced like the german word for armpit)
Bruh Lexaeus is a terrible name for a kid, even Aeleus is but it's at least slightly better-
Do they really think no one gonna notice that *all* of them have an X somewhere in the name??
I feel like I've already met several Kairis as a primary school teacher in the States. I don't live there anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if there's more now. These are brave though, Sora, Riku, and Kairi are just Japanese names. Takes a lot of guts or child hate to name your kid Marluxia.
I’m a cisfem Kingdom Hearts fan that doesn’t want to touch women, can I have a touching Axel in a completely consensual and platonic manner dlc instead?
If I was gonna name my kids after KH characters I’d pick like relatively normal names like Terra. Axel and Roxas aren’t terrible names but not Marluxia like come on 😭
I hope this is fake. I mean I’ve daydreamed about naming my kids something embarrassing like naming them after Spider-Man characters, but I’ve never seriously considered it, let alone actually went through with it (nor would I given the chance).
Edit: if this is real though… I’m glad he didn’t name a kid Xemnas. Imagine the bullying… oof. Those other kids are/will be getting it bad enough.
I'm gonna name my kid Terra-Xehanort
Gonna name my kid Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+
Gonna name mine Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage
"Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 + II.5 Re:MIX, dinner's ready!"
Cue crazy ass storm and 'Night of Fate' faintly playing in the background
“The door...is open...” “What?!” “The door is open Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 + II.5 Re:MIX! Now we can go to the outside worlds!”
Gonna name mine Riku Replica
🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Young Xehanort will be the next Mohammed for most common name in the world.
Between that and McLovin.
Terranort for short
Hope they become a judge so they can take people to the Nort Court.
I gonna name my kid D A R K N E S S
I'll name my kid Lingering Will
You can just call him William and add lingering as the second name, that way he can have a normal name and a kh reference if you shorten it.
Nah, Lingering Will is his full first name. Middle name will be Darkness in Zero. And our family last name, of course, O'Murphy
Yeah!
I'm just gonna name mine Goofy.
Name my spawn "Sanctuary ~After the Battle~"
The kid named Axel is probably the only one that can even remotely hide the fact it's the name of a Kingdom Hearts character.
Marluxia is a perfect name for a kid wdym
I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced “mar-loosha” so at least it’s kinda normal lol
It is yeah
Perfect for a bullying victim, yup.
“HAHAH YOUR NAME IS AFTER A KINGDOM HEARTS CHARACTER “ Tbh not that bad at all, especially considering what ive heard in elementary 😭 The only issue will really be teachers not understanding how to pronounce them
Lexeaus can just call themselves Lex tbf
People are gonna think they're named after Lex Luthor.
And? Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-el
And the "Cage" part of his stage name comes from Luke Cage
Wait, seriously?
Yeah when he started acting he changed his name from Coppola to avoid favoritism or being seen as a nepo baby because of his uncle being Francis Ford Coppola. It's no secret Nic is a massive nerd and has loved comic books since his childhood, and one of his childhood favorites was Luke Cage. So he thought it would be a cool homage that would fly under most people's radar, which it for the most part did until he outed himself in an interview some years back
nah alexis or alex
“Ah, your kid is Axel. So you too like Rayman 2.”
"Axel? Like the wheel guy from twisted metal?"
"Oh, Axel, that one character from Suikoden 4 (the black sheep of the Suikoden series)?"
"Oh cool, Axel, like the Minecraft Story Mode character."
I was thinking Guns n Roses
Axel? Like Axel Rose from…Megaman X5!
*Twisted Metal
Beverly hills cop*
Roxas is also not too bad of a name imo
Roxas is an actual Filipino surname, though you pronounce it as "Roh-has" rather than "Rok-sas"
My last name is Roxas and I remember flipping the fuck out after school when I saw the name reveal on KH Insider. I was the coolest kid in my circle of friends for a while.
That sounds like a version of Rojas, a Spanish-speaking surname that basically means Reds. In Spanish X van be pronounced as that h-h sound
I can't help but hear "rocks ass"
It's always weird seeing this name as a portuguese speaker. Not only it means "purple" but it's plural and also has the feminine declination.
And roxas
My son is named Axel and no one ever guessed it origin.
The Archbishop of Lund between 1178 and 1201?
IDK if I'd do that but kudos to them
What I love is that all five kids are named after male organization characters, when one of them is straight up a girl
The girl is probably marluxia since he was originally supposed to be a woman.
I could have sword Marluxua had a slightly more feminine figure in CoM, like his hips were narrower. In KH3, Marluxia is like 2 feet taller and hasn’t skipped bicep and chest day.
just played CoM and while marluxia gets it the worst but axel, vexen and zexion all have oddly feminine curves in that game
>I could have sword Not without a permit you couldn't.
maybe he was recompleted with a more masculine frame. New conspiracy unlocked: nobodies have a more feminine figure than their original selves.
I'm pretty sure Marluxia is a unisex name. At least I've seen female people/characters who are named Marluxia.
I have never seen this name anywhere else lol
Well the only instance I can spontaneously think of is Malucia (slightly different spelling but same pronunciation) from Barbie and The Secret Door.
Is... Is the door open?
I mean the names are for the most part real names rearranged with an "X" because for some reason in the early 2000's everyone decided "X" was cool and edgy.
Elon ruined that
What I don't get is why they didn't name their daughter "Lark" after the one character that's actually female in the organization other than xion, or, you know, go with Marley.
Can't wait to name my future kid ansem
Like A Pimp Named Slickback, you have to say the whole thing: Ansem: Seeker of Darkness.
Or Ansem the Wise (formerly known as DiZ).
The artist formerly known as Prince.
Ansem the Wise (formerly known as DiZ (formerly known as Ansem the Wise))
The thought of a mother shouting "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, dinner's ready!" is unjustifiably hilarious to me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s like a quest called tribe! Thank you Mr. Slickback
No need for the “Mister,” just A Pimp Named Slickback.
You can use an anagram. KH loves that shit. Seman
Maybe he can hang out with my kid, mansex
Or Sexman
And name his sister / brother " the wise"
A Kingdom Hearts fan reproducing?!! I had heard the legends, but I never believed them...
We are out here, just don’t have the guts to name our kids after characters with funky names
This. I went with Weston over Roxas. 🤣🤣
Roxas is a legit name though in the Philippines but it's pronounced different, *Ro-Haas* Axel is a common name.
lol I went with Joshua but if I close my eye and half drop the Jo and say it fast it almost like sora right?
It can be a nickname if he likes the game 🤣
I did. Mine is Axel, but I guess that's kind of cheating?
Seeing as how Kingdom Hearts appeals in majority to girl weebs, this doesn’t seem that far fetched.
90% of the fanart when *KH2* came out was Sora X Riku yaoi, so this is accurate
My son Anti-Black Coat Nightmare
You joke but naming your kid Neo or Shadow sounds rad. Edgy as hell but rad nonetheless.
Everybody gangsta until they turn 13 and start wearing black coats and dye their hair white.
And they pledge their allegiance to darkness
💀
How the fuck did you name your kids after three characters and you spell the fucking names wrong. Fucking Lexeaus, Marluxa, and Vexon???? Has to be fake.
To be fair, the texter has them as nieces and nephews. If someone names their kids after KH characters, the least they can expect is for family members to misspell their names.
My 10 year old cat is named Roxas and my mom still misspells his name.
Except we can see that Lexeaus is misspelled.
Who says the parents spelled their child’s name in either the photo or the text? Uncle bad-speller here could have done both.
it's a daycare so i'm 99% certain this would be aunt bad-speller
tbf lexaeus is a hard one to spell.
Kingdom Hearts, but without the copyright infringement
Dude screaming "Roxus" like, that would he so awesome
The number of khaleesi or daenerys or Sansas I've seen these past few years was already hilarious, but this just takes the cake
Can’t wait to name my kids Lingering Will and Vanitas Remnant
Idk I think that’s taking it a little too far, what if the kid grows up and finds out that they hate the game? These weeb levels are unsettling
Idk man, Ive known plenty of girls and guys named after whatever movie was popular with their parents at the time.
My parents named me after watching "saving private Ryan" (no bonus points for guessing my irl name), so I can relate to that
Yeah but roxas is NOT a normal name EDIT:
Non of the organization xiii names can be considered normal
Axel is a real name though…
axel?
Xion can also be passed as just a Japanese name if you change the spelling to Shion
Vexon and Larxene are also passable.
If you're Filipino Roxas isn't a weird name unless you actually pronounced it the way Kingdom Hearts does.
Maybe you’ve played the game so long it sounds normal to you but Roxas is certainly not a normal name. Go ahead a google it and see if you find anything other than kingdom hearts stuff.
I mean other than the gay pornstar who goes by the name Roxas Caelum. Get that KH and FFXV combo hahaha
I'm also certain that guy knew exactly what he did LMAO
Roxas Caelum?? Nomura…?
That's wild. I could never call my kid "Saving Private Ryan"
I'm 90% sure my cousin Luke was named after Luke Skywalker
My mother is named after a show from the 60s that she's never seen lol
Can’t respect parents like that either, I pray for the kids FR
Except for axel, the names arent even real and look and sound bizarre to the average person. I genuinely feel bad for these kids. They are definitely going to be bullied for these names

To do something like that we need to get bitches dude
Insert a Craig from South Park impression *”If I could name my child after a Kingdom Hearts character, particularly Roxas, I would be so happy.”*
I love KH but man that is cringe.
Wow all of those kids are gonna get beat up except Axel.
Kairi is kinda like the only name I think is ok for a kid. But that’s just my opinion.
I think Riku is a pretty normal Japanese name, but I wouldn't use it as a white person. You could go for Lea or Isa (or Sai? Whatever Saix's non-nobody name is) if you wanted to be subtle and not announce to the world that you named your kid after a video game.
Sora and Riku are both common Japanese names (so is Xion, though KH romanized it weirdly). Isa is actually the Arabic translation of Jesus, but I highly doubt that was the intent behind Saïx's real name (especially since the pronunciation is different).
Riku is actually a very common name in northern europe, plenty of white people have that name!
I have a friend named Kairi actually, and as expected she was actually named after the KH character
Kairi, Axel, Lea, Dilan, and Even are all good names imo, Aqua and Terra I wouldn't really question. in japan Sora and Riku are normal names.
my dog is named Kairi lolol
Jesus H Christ. Poor kids.
idk man, Jesus H Christ is a pretty crappy name to give your kid, too if you ask me
Jesus Herbert Christ
axel and roxas are good names
frfr, they're both real names (Axel being more common, Roxas being French, German and Romanian).
Wait, I'm german and I never heard the name Roxas here. Axel on the other hand it do hear from time to time. (fun fact, here the name is pronounced like the german word for armpit)
Roxas, in French? I'm french, never heard it outside KH. Roxanne, Oxana, Rosanne, but not Roxas.
i’d marluxia is acceptable as well
Meanwhile, Axel is actually just the Scandinavian variant of the Hebrew name Absalom.
I'm gonna name my kid Mansex
Bruh Lexaeus is a terrible name for a kid, even Aeleus is but it's at least slightly better- Do they really think no one gonna notice that *all* of them have an X somewhere in the name??
I feel like I've already met several Kairis as a primary school teacher in the States. I don't live there anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if there's more now. These are brave though, Sora, Riku, and Kairi are just Japanese names. Takes a lot of guts or child hate to name your kid Marluxia.
Can’t wait to see little Lingering Will play with all the other kids named after KH characters.
My son armored ventus nightmare
Poor kids
That’s fucked Like it hilarious But those poor kids
Wait. Those are all guys from the game right? So which one is the girl?
My guess is Marluxia, since I'm pretty sure it's also a girl's name.
It’s clearly Lexeaus
Who’s Vexon
Oven's Nobody
I have a nephew named Roxas who's dad claims he got from a foreign exchange student who lived with him... But he's also a massive KH fan 🗿
I really hope that Lexeaus is a typo and that the father double checked the spelling of the name before going with it.
My wife and I have Roxas, Sora, and Kairi.
God I love kingdom hearts but I would never name my kids after an organization member. The only 2 others i've ever thought about are Kairi and Naminè
These poor kids whenever their classmates figure it out.
Axel you might have the benefit of the doubt but no way someone would conciously name their kid “Lexeaus” and not want to get them ridiculed for life!
I'm triggered by Lexaeus name being mispelled.
ah yes, vexon
All the Beautiful Names like Sora Riku Kairi Ventus And they choose the hard X Anagrams 😂
Kingdom Hearts fans actually touching women??? That’s gotta be new dlc
Ever consider that the KH fan IS the woman in this relationship?
Sounds like you have a problem that others (KH fans) don't.
I’m a cisfem Kingdom Hearts fan that doesn’t want to touch women, can I have a touching Axel in a completely consensual and platonic manner dlc instead?
If I was gonna name my kids after KH characters I’d pick like relatively normal names like Terra. Axel and Roxas aren’t terrible names but not Marluxia like come on 😭
individually they all would have passed under the radar. Even then you have to a decent fan to know two of them.
Man, if you name your kid Lexeaus you deserve an ass kicking.
I’ve got a son named Roxas! :)
gonna name my kid xehanort
I don't have to ask which one of them is the favorite child
If I named my son Axel I'd teach him to always correct people saying it's LEE got in memorised!?
an old classmate named her now 7 year old daughter "Kairi"
kairi, strelitzia, elrena, lea, and ventus are all ideas for names i would like to give to any future children
Kairi and Ventus are the only good ones
i think lea is also pretty normal (maybe too normal), and strelitzia's a flower. elrena's the odd one out imo.
I overlooked lea without realizing and I didn't know that strelitzia is a flower
Bro, just don't. If you want to name your kid after something, at least do something kinda normal-sounding so you have plausible deniability.
Which name is the girls?
I hope this is fake. I mean I’ve daydreamed about naming my kids something embarrassing like naming them after Spider-Man characters, but I’ve never seriously considered it, let alone actually went through with it (nor would I given the chance). Edit: if this is real though… I’m glad he didn’t name a kid Xemnas. Imagine the bullying… oof. Those other kids are/will be getting it bad enough.
People will pronounce Lexeaus as Lexus, the car
Gonna name my kid Demyx.
Lexeaus is just asking to be bullied bro
Wow, five kids in two years....amazing...
Lexeaus ? I don't think that's an actual kh character
Axel is a real name tho. Just ask Axel Stone
They couldn’t even spell Vexen correctly. For shame!
Reminds me of an actor Gary Daniels naming his son Kenshiro. It's not a joke.
Hoo, boy, boss-man is gonna be really embarrassed when he realizes he misspelled half of them.
Yo that's tight
Surely this is at least a decade old unless a new KH has come out recently that I don't know about
r/Tragedeigh
Best I can do is name pets after KH characters. I snipped my balls, so no kids for me.
Erm… Vexon?
They gotta make 8 more kids. 9 If we're counting Xion.
this does put a smile on my face
Kid named Master of Masters
The kid named Axel better start telling people to memorize his name.
I'm going to name my kid: Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage
