A lot of people are naming their babies after the bad guy from The Legend of Zelda … sort of

Bad guys are the coolest. We all know that, and now we’re naming our kids after one of gaming’s baddest guys.

The fastest-rising name for new-born boys in the United States last year was “Gannon,” according to Laura Wattenberg of website Baby Name Wizard. That’s the name of the demon-pig boss from the 1987 Nintendo release The Legend of Zelda, which millions of people have played. Nintendo has since clarified that Gannon was a mistranslation, and it now calls the character “Ganon” and “Ganondorf.” But while the game character likely did have some influence on parents, Wattenberg points out that the reality TV show Teen Mom probably had the bigger effect. One of the young mothers on that show named her child Gannon — with that spelling — and that’s probably where most people are getting the idea.
