Got my first kid coming in May. I'm trying to convince my wife to use a comic-inspired name. So far my suggestions were Gotham for a boy, Thorin for a girl. She liked Kal-el for a boy but we already have a friend who did that. Any suggestions?

No, for God's sake. I do not want to become the laughingstock of the people.

Call him Donald-Blake + your last name. Not too obvious and subtle enough for those in the know.

Nah I'd never do that a child.
I love Dragon Ball but I'd never call my son Frieza or Piccolo (or would I...)
I might like these superhero movies but I'd find it selfish to name a child after something like that and have them risk being made fun of and attached to a name they don't like just because I happen to be a fan of something.
I'd do that maybe with a dog but not a child.

Congrats, man!
There are tons of ways you can do it,
Ranging from obvious to subtle.
I think one of the best is Harley Quinn Smith.
Leela (futurama) was on the short list
for one of my daughters.

Me and the ex had a pregnancy scare once. (Neither of us wanted kids, but she couldn't remember to take her pills for shit in the beginning. I told her that's what the sugar pills in the packs are for, but she would skip those and sometimes forget to take the first actual pill.) I had her convinced for Vassago Daemon for a boy and Lilith Nyx for a girl. We would've called it by their middle name. I go by my middle and so does she. Not exactly superhero names mind you, just thought I'd share.

As a side note my Southern Baptist Family were hoping for a false pregnancy after they heard the names.

I named my daughter after the witch from Dark Shadows.
Not her usual name. She used several.
But Gotham is funky. Its a city
Pick a name that can be shortened
Your son would be Goth.
Your daughter would be Thor.
You ready for that?

First off, congrats!
Second, to name a child, think of your last name first and say your child's name plus your last name to see how good that name fits your last name.
Third, honestly, not a superhero's name, but plenty of aliases to choose from, like Peter, or Bruce, or Tony, or if it's a girl, Natasha, or Diana, or Carol.

It doesn't look like I'm going to get my way anyway but thought it would make a nice discussion. |

Like justanaveragejoe said, just name him/her after one of their real names. It’s a lot more subtle and saves getting your kids from being picked on at school (no hard feelings). |

Congratulations!
I've always said that if I had a son I would name him Wade (first name) Wilson (middle)
Never picked out a name for a girl tho.

If you can't decide on a Comic Book name you could at least make it alliterate to your last name.

Worked with a dude who's name was John June. He named is daughter April May. I think I'd punch my Parents in the throat if that was done to me.
