Some fans ofCD Projekt RED’shit gameThe Witcher 3have just discovered Geralt’s original chosen name, which everyone has decided is equal parts goofy and awesome.

During a little conversation with Ciri regarding Geralt’s past, he lets slip that his first choice of name was going to be…Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarcie. Not sure why he felt comfortable sharing that, considering Ciri was almost definitely going to make fun of him for it.
This little exchange is actually a reference to the fifth book inThe Witcherseries, Baptism of Fire, during a conversation with Vesemir.
Vesemir was the one who talked Geralt out of choosing the last name Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarcie, mostly because he thought it sounded overly pretentious.

Geralt opted to go with “of Rivia” instead and even trained himself to mimic the Rivian accent so he’d appear more authentic to potential clients.
Unfortunately for Geralt, I highly doubt Ciri will ever let him live this down. Bro have named himself Geralt of the Bovine Defense Force Initiative and it would have sounded less silly.
