If I was that kid, as soon as I reached legal age I'd change my name to "My dad is an @ssh01e".

That's idiotic to say yeah name your Kids our two names with "and" in the middle. and we will give you $100 in gas...I'd feel like an idiot going home telling my family ...guess what I did today....I had a contestant give us naming rights to their unborn child for $100 and he agreed because they are a struggling family and needed the gas ....heh heh heh aren't we cool?!!!

Just when I thought I had heard the oddest name, another comes along.

I am suddenly apologetic for kicking my father in the shin, after every time someone teased me about MY name, as a child. I

guess they could call him Daw?

I bet they drive an SUV so that hundred bucks worth of gas will last about three miles.

And the dumb girlfriend..."At least we'll have an interesting story to tell him."

Yeah, son. We named you because someone gave us three blocks worth of gas.

What a complete idiot.

$100 will be worth what...about 20 gallons by December when the kid is born?

Next, you'll hear that ol' dad took $500 to place a Starbuck's ad on the kid's forehead

The parents could sell Tatoo space to businesses, and as he grows the logo's will too. Tatoo real small on his nose Puff's so when he is older it would be readable.

Oh, I dunno. "Pixie" is a cute name. On the other hand, "Vampyress" sucks...really sucks.

That is a lame name. I would've given a $200 gift card if he named his kid "My Parents Are Jerk-Offs"
