I can't believe how much shit this kid will get for his whole life....

Poor kids, they should be allowed to choose their name when they grow

 

crazy !!
i hope the kid is happy wid the name, not sure if its so easy to change persons identity

 

lol , that poor kid. I still to this day want the name . Tom Arto

TOMARTO!

 

Good grief, and I thought my name was bad.

 

Wow, with a name like that he will get shit. I don't see why parents are so stupid; I mean ones like these who name their kid some weirdass name. I don't understand why they can't look into why the name is weird and the possible future of the child with a name like this.

He will get picked on.
End of story.

My name is cool, being Justice, but I have to put up with a lot of shit too (peace, statue of liberty, pledge of allegience, freedom, etc).

 

wow, that's insane.
reminds me of Seinfeld:

"Seven."
"Seven Costanza... You're serious?"
"Yeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl. Especially a girl... Or a boy."
"I don't think so."
"What, you don't like the name?"
"It's not a name. It's a number."
"I know. It's Mickey Mantle's number. So not only is it an all-around beautiful name, it is also a living tribute."
- George and Susan, in "The Seven"

 

What a name...
But that isn't the only one out.

 

thats pretty stuiped, it would be nice to see the parents sued for naming the kid that. (but then again, espn wont because its pretty much free advertising, wow, what a life, you go around advertising a sports channel)

 

Anyone on this forum want to Adopt this kid ? i think one who have no kids may do it

 

You can legally change your name, just gotta write a check to do it.

 

Parents too often name their children for the novelty without thought as to how the child will bear the name as he progresses in life.

I put A LOT of thought into naming my sons. Names should have meaning, instill pride, and not be a cross to bear come school time.

 

Wow, that is a cool name. I like it a lot!

 

this was money well spent

 

That is messed up. ESPN...what a name. Those parents don't deserve to be parents after that.

 

In the 60's a lot of hippies decided to name their boys names like Ashley and Leslie. It was rebellious then and now it just seems weird.

 

You can't choose your parents. But in some places, you can at least divorce them.

 

wow you know that kid is going to get teased alot.

But sadly this is not the worst name I've heard of.

for an example I remember a kid at my church whose birth name was fatman...to make it worst he was more then a bit on the chunky side.

 

One time while my wife was waiting in the doctor's office, the receptionist called out "Shithead? Is Shithead here?" and this woman stood up and said "It's pronounced Shi-theed!"

 

oh man, that's not right!!

sounds like part of a skit you'd see on late night cable or something!
