Man accidently names nephew after Pokemon character, netizens share bizarre stories

A Pokemon fan took his love for the series to another level when he convinced his sister to name her baby after a Pokemon character. The man took to his Reddit handle and narrated the entire story where he named his nephew ‘Zacian’, from Pokemon Sword and Shield. According to the story, it was a ‘Pure Coincidence’ that the man is playing the game then and he suggested this name, which was then taken into consideration. 

The unique name

The man said that he was on  family vacation and driving with his sister and her kid. The family had been discussing ‘potentially unique names’ and they wanted a name that started with the alphabet ‘Z’. This is when the man was playing the game on his Nintendo Switch and had just caught Zacian with a quick ball. The man wrote, “ I jokingly suggested, "Hey Zacian is a kool name. It means sword in Japanese." My mother and family loved it so its now official”. However, the truth behind the name is only known by his sister and his girlfriend. The man further wrote, “ I should clarify. The baby was NOT had in the van. Most of my family was in a van together in a different state where we got the phone call/video chat about it”.
