I feel sorry for this kid.

[MRevelle83]

BILOXI, Miss. - Leann Real promised her husband, an avid sports fan, that if they ever had a son he'd get to pick the name. ESPN Montana Real was born this week at Biloxi Regional Medical Center.

Rusty Real, of D'Iberville, chose ESPN (pronounced Espen) after the sports network and Montana after football legend Joe Montana.

Baby ESPN isn't alone.

Three others were cited in a 2005 report on tivocommunity.com about the network's 25th anniversary. They are Espn Malachi McCall in Pampa, Texas; Espn Curiel in Corpus Christi, Texas; and Espn Blondeel in Michigan.

"We were the talk of the hospital," Rusty Real said. "The nurses kept asking my wife if she was really going to let her husband name him ESPN. She said, 'Oh, yes.'"

You know what? I should name my first son "Silent Hill" and my second "Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams". That's better than any ESPN. (/sarcasm)

I'll name mine xXBishonenCloud808Xx.

Are people losing their minds?

...

Yes.

EDIT- Now this just reminds me of my friend, he said that he'd name one of his children Optimus Prime, one Megatron
and give one to the library cause he owes them his first child.

Re: I feel sorry for this kid.

If I were to have kids, I would probably name them uniquely and keeping in mind what sounded good... I mean, I'm not by any means big on making sure the name has some kind of deep meaning or connection to an obscure piece of family tradition or heritage, but names like ESPN go a bit too far. Sure, if the kid's some great athletic, jockish kind of guy he could use it to some advantage, or at least adapt it as some kind of cosmic humour/conversation piece fusion thing.. but otherwise, he's ****ed.

It's like the town named DISH for 10 free years of satellite TV.

Every now and then I dig around in the databases at work for weird names. I found someone named Seymour Butts, and someone whose last name is "Satanik"
