Baptize children with the names of personalities from the pop culture It is not uncommon, and this practice has been happening since our grandparents’ time.
However, as generations pass, icons differ, and with the growth of the gamer market, some protagonists and even villains are being honored.
A similar story was shared in a group dedicated to bringing together ‘League of Legends’ players (‘Lol’) on Reddit.
It all started when a recently married user shared images of their themed wedding, which took the famous online RPG as inspiration.
So far nothing strange, however, the shock occurred when the couple revealed that they named their first child after a very hated villain from the game.
The antagonist is responsible for a series of nefarious events, a figure little admired by players in general.
After all, who are we talking about?

The couple’s post already has more than 2,500 upvotes and more than 300 comments.
The controversy began when a user called C9YunoGasai told about his union ceremony, which had ‘LoL’ as its main theme.
In this way, all the decoration, costumes and sweets at the party were inspired by the work, which generated impressive photos.
Then, the newlywed decided to share the following information, which shocked those who followed the post:
“Our first dance was to ‘Legends Never Die’. We have a tattoo with Kindred masks and our second son is called Silco.”
For those who don’t know, Silco is an important antagonist in the animated series ‘Lol‘ from Netflix called ‘Arcane’, which premiered in 2021.
In the plot, he is responsible for many disasters, including the creation of a powerful drug known as Cintila, the death of his own brother Vander and part of the trauma of young Jinx.
“That was a punch in the face,” said one user. “I was like, ‘Super cool nerdy wedding, I love when couples do things like that,’ and then I read that line and was like, ‘What do you mean?'” said someone else.
Due to these and other heinous acts, it’s no wonder that fans simply detest the character, and many questioned the parents’ choice to name the child.
Remembering that the second season already has a release date and it is expected that a series of mysteries will finally be clarified.
