Kids first name is Loki.
That’s badass.
Loki Skywalker. Jesus, these parents need a smack
Naming children after the mythical figures of a culture is perfectly acceptable.
True and fair, but what do you think when you hear that someone’s name is Loki (who isn’t from a Scandinavian country)?
And Jedi is actually recognised as an official religion in the US. And there’s plenty of people who identify as Jedi in the UK as well. So one could certainly argue that it’s violating someone’s religious beliefs by not allowing that name. At least Luke Skywalker has some evidence of existing…
I’m an atheist and even I know that’s a weird comparison. You can’t copyright the name Jesus. Or Loki even cause they’re deities. But Skywalker as a name is for sure made up by Lucas. Maybe in 500 years when star wars is a recognized religion, but the star wars people need to do some conquering and crimes against humanity to qualify for that
Man, that’s a stupid name. Poor kid permanently tied to a pop culture reference. Two, if the Loki is referring to Marvel. Naming a kid is not an opportunity to express yourself. If you want people to know you like star wars, get a tattoo. Or a bumper sticker. And then I’ll judge you. But leave the kid out of it.
How do you think Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Jacob etc feel named after made up Bible characters?
It’s probably a reference to Marvel. In the Germanic tradition you a) don’t name kids directly after gods, though gods may make up part of the name, say Thorgeir, Thor’s spear, and b) not after Loki. Between fucking a horse (and getting pregnant) and tying a goat to his balls he really should be off limits.

So much for the tolerant left!!!
If you can find a time machine, the braydens, jaydens, aydens, aidens, alicias, felicias, aleeshas, leEverythings, and every intentionally-misspelled version of a normal name, will be spared a lifetime of “it’s like this but spelled like that because my mom sniffed glue” discussions.

Why would you do that to your child? I mean, you wanna change your own name, go for it.
Nowadays naming your kid is a way to make a statement about yourself. Like a vanity plate.
Should have named him Luke. It’s a perfectly normal name, it’d fly under the radar. But youd still have named him after him.
You are making a lot of assumptions about this childs parents. Starting with they had a concept of a plan to begin with.
concept of a plan
Are we talking about the weekly updates on Trumps healthcare plan? Look: he’ll get a plan and we’ll like it. There’s no need to keep nagging him every year.
The only thing that’s stupid about this IMO is that Skywalker is supposed to be a last name, not a first/given name.

People have been choosing made up names from fiction for hundreds (thousands?) of years and as far I know, no one has died from it yet. Jessica is just a character from a play.
I get the sentiment but “Loki Skywalker” and “Jessica” are far from comparable even if Jessica would have been viewed in the same light 500 years ago.
