Parents who name their kids [Mark May] like that should have their parental rights taken away.

Weren't their some football prospects a few years back named stupid [Mark May] like "Sirdarius" and "Your Highness"? I did thread searches and couldn't find anything...

Unfortunately they're the ones doing most of the breeding these days.

You're correct. There was some recruit from Florida whose first name was Yourhighness. I did a thread search too and couldn't find it, but I know for a fact it was here at some point.

Pimptarius is just beyond asinine. I can't believe this poor kid's parents would do something like that.

Knowshon Moreno's first name is a combination of his parents' names. I think his dad's nickname was "Knowledge" and his mom's first name was something even more retarded.

Whatever happened to Steve, Chris, Adam, or Brian?

Only a matter of time before we see "iqua" added to the end of every name.

Steveniqua, Chrisiqua, Adamiqua, Brianiqua...:so:

My wife's name is Robyn. She wanted to name our kid "Batman", but that would make me "Batgirl", so I said no.

Back on topic: I met a woman in Indianapolis for my AmeriCorps orientation who had a child named Palis...she was white...and from Nebraska...

What about God's Gift Achiuwa who will be playing basketball at St. John's next year?

My mom is a middle school teacher and it's always interesting to hear the oddly named students she has.

God's Gift (20) is the third of six children born to Eunice and Donatus Achiuwa of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He has one older brother, Promise, and two younger brothers, God's Will and Precious. He also has one older sister, Grace, and one younger sister, Peace.

I bet his parents are insufferable assholes.

Naming Children These Days

I don't think I'd want to name a child "These Days."

These Days Johnson. Doesn't have a pleasant sound, to me.

As for the snide comment about God's Gift Achiuwa - the kid's parents are Nigerian, for pete's sake. Cut the people some slack; this isn't that uncommon a naming approach in that culture.

Yes, you're right. I guess that after my experience at Walmart I'm still looking to take out my anger on someone. Maybe I'll go kick the dog.
