Name Games
by Jeremy 'Panda Man' Weidenhof · 10/07/2006 10:39 pmHow do you know when your TV sports intake might be too high?
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.
“Hi, we’re the Wilsons and we just love TV. Let me introduce the kids. There are the girls, Lifetime, Foodnetwork, and Homeshopping. And then the twin boys CSPAN1 and CSPAN2. (I’m such a political junkie.)”
While “ESPN” is not necessarily the worst baby name ever, dear old dad might want to consider turning off the tube now and then.

isn’t this story like a year old?
It’s still funny, though
So my kids should be named Dell, Hewlett and E-machine? :-p
Until I was 18 I thought my name was Damnit.
My, how depressing this all is. Perhaps he should consider these names for his next children: Ahmed, Muhammad, Ismael and Osama. We have a war raging on and our very survival will be the prize.. but still we such people in our nation that care not for anything more than sports (as a distraction to keep oneself from being too serious all the time, sure, but sports encompass some people’s entire lives..)
