<p>On the notorious Reddit board, TIFU – short for Today I F***ed Up – one user has spilled the beans on the inspiration behind his newborn nephew’s cool name.</p>
<p>Little baby Zacian’s parents have no idea that his name is actually the name of a big dog with a sword in his mouth, it would seem, and user Bladehuraska is planning to give the new baby some Pokémon-related presents for Christmas to “reveal the truth”. Good luck with that, dude.</p>
<p>Bladehuraska was playing <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/pokemon_sword_and_shield">Pokémon Sword</a></strong> in the back of a van (you know it’s going to be a good story when it starts in the back of a van) and he’d just caught the legendary Zacian with a Quick Ball.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>While they were discussing potentially <em>unique</em> names, I kept overhearing they wanted it to begin with the letter Z… I jokingly suggested, “Hey, Zacian is a cool name. It means sword in Japanese.” My mother and family loved it, so it’s now official.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately for this man and his nephew, Zacian does <em>not</em> mean sword in Japanese. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/kdqzyp/tifu_by_accidentally_naming_my_nephew_after_a/gfyc28p?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3">As the comments on the post point out</a>, Zacian is just Za + cyan, just as Zamazenta, its legendary companion, is Za + magenta – you can even read director Shigeru Ohmori speaking about it in <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/feature/2019/11/13/going-big">this interview with GameInformer</a>. But the real question is, who names their baby seconds after it’s born with the first random word suggested to them?</p>
<p>Still, there are much stranger Pokémon to be named after, and Zacian is <em>pretty</em> cool as a name. Plus, it’s a legendary Pokémon, so that’s gonna give the kid some clout, right? Let us know what <em>you</em> think the worst Pokémon name would be to give a baby. Winner gets to name the next Nintendo Life sprog.</p>
