Parents Name Their Son Dovahkiin, Get Free Bethesda Games

Remember Bethesda's strange promise to give any parent free access to its games for life if they happen to give birth on 11/11/11 and name their child Dovahkiin? I had forgotten about the bizarre Skyrim contest too, but Megan and Eric Kellermeyer sure took note. The couple are now the proud parents of Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer... and winners of the competition.

On the couple's blog, Megan tried to explain her decision:

"We've toyed with Dovahkiin and the ramifications of naming a child that name, and that name being based on a video game character (however awesome), and what impact that would have on him."

"But the more I thought of it, the more I settled on Dovahkiin, contest or no. It helps that we told all our friends and family and very few are opposed to the idea. My mom thought it was neat! He will have a perfectly normal and common middle name if the first name becomes too much for him or us or we just want to call him a nickname."
