Parents auction their baby's name!

[Low-Budget-Superhero]

(Just a quick note: I wanted the topic to be called "Parents auction of the rights to their baby's name!" , but that wouldn't fit.)

People truely never cease to amaze me... never ...

The story goes something like this... the Black family can't quite decide what to name their kid. They think and think, but they can't seem to come up with a good name. So what do they do? They decide you let big businesses handle it for them! So they hold an auction online to see who will name their baby.

Say it with me now!: People... are... stupid! That kid is going to be saddled with that name all his life! Can you image saying "Hello, my name is Microsoft Black!". It's like this one (I think she was a) politician/activist named "Imma Hog". Her parents must have been nuts!

Auction Update: The baby's name might very well be Microsoft.

That is one of the most pathetic things I have ever heard. A good name isn't hard to come by. There are over 500,000 names at kabalarians.com. Those people are really stupid. "Hi! My name is Microsoft Black". I really feel sorry for that kid.

The baby could change it's name sometime in it's life. But that would suck going through life named Microsoft. People are stupid.

yeah I herd about that im gonna name my kid "K-mart"

[Cthulhu5]

Some people are way to fucking weird. If I worked for the state they live in I would have the child put in foster care for its own good. This is the kind of kid who grows up and kills their parents for being fuckers.

At least with a name like Microsoft you could at least sorten it to Mike, at least until the divorce between parents and son is complete...

The kid will have a legal right to change his name when he reaches adulthood at 18 which is a bit fucked up and a waste of money for the companies. What will naming a kis after the company do anyway? Make advertizement? It won't really have an big affect. It might have an affect for about a month at top, but by then everybody would have forgotten about the kid and he will be stuck Oscar Mayer Wieners till he could change it at 18.

I head it was for 50,000 dollars. Jesus, it's too bad that these MoFo's thought of it first! I mean I'm sure theres some guy on welfare with a kid who could have picked up this cash and really done something with the cash. Hell I can make a baby! Where's my 50 grand?

I hope Piggly Wiggly wins the auction

I don't understand. If I had a kid, no matter how stuck I was for a name, I would never leave that responsibility to anyone else but myself and my partner. I think any other alternative would be sacrificing part of my responsibility and love for my child.

::shakes head::

How could anyone trust any company in this way... the almighty dollar will always be their #1 priority!

I Agree I'd never lease my kids name out... unless I hated him... Then it would be OOOOOKAY! ;)

It's sort of a form of child abuse. Your giving the kid a name you know he'll be made fun of at school for, and getting money to do it. Something I can tell you off hand, however much money the family got for this, the kid ain't seeing any of it! If I was that kid I'd go "P. Diddy in a New York night club" on their asses as soon as I was old enough to buy a gun (because the NRA says I can...)!

P.S. AnarchyPenguin may want Piggly Wiggly to win, but I hope the Maxipad corperation wins!

Considerably, BBC could win and use a product name. (although Tinky Winky did sign a contract with GLAAD a few years ago, so I'm not sure about all the copyright laws...)

GameboyCC knows just a bit too much about tellitubies.
