Couple Names Baby after Three Spurs

Lots of people in south Texas are fans of the San Antonio Spurs, but the title of the world's biggest Spurs fans may go to John and Rhonda Till of Greensboro North Carolina.

The couple named their baby boy, who was born Sunday, Parker Duncan Ginobili Till, after the NBA champs three superstar players, forward Tim Duncan and guards Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.

John Till says his wife was sort of okay with it, but had to be convinced.

"My wife really did not want Ginobili," Till told San Antonio's WOAI radio today from his home in Greensboro.

"She was fine with Parker Duncan, and in the hospital I was still trying to convince her that we just can't leave him off."

He says the eight pound 12 ounce boy will be known as Parker D.G. Till.

Till grew up in San Antonio and says he was a big fan of the Spurs back in the eighties, and considered pushing for names of old timers like Artis (Gilmore), George (Gervin) and Larry (Kenon), but decided to back off.

Rhonda also lived in San Antonio for six years and Till says she is also an avid Spurs fan. The couple moved to North Carolina in 2001.

Till says he didn't even try to convince his wife to add the names of bench players, team trainers, and head coach Gregg Popovich.

That isn't so bad.

My aunt met a man named Nosmo King when processing paperwork with his name on it. She told me how she remarked to him how his name was so familiar to her, but she knew she has never met him. He told her how he was named: His mother, Mrs. King, was giving birth under heavy sedation. She saw a "Sign from God" that her baby would be named "Nosmo." It had to be a sign from God, right? It sure couldn't have been that in her sedated haze she saw a sign that said NO SMOKING. True story.

guess they didn't have room for mohammed ... :)

I think Brett Favre Rahn would be just as bad, if not worse. But that's just me.

And yes, he actuall floated that name when we were naming the baby.

According to VH1 the dumbest Hollywood baby name belongs to Jason Leigh's baby Pilot Inspecter Leigh.

Of course I like X-files David "Fox Mulder"'s baby;s name Kyd.

I kind of like the name Parker Duncan. The Ginobili part is stupid.

BTW-

It would be kind of funny if the kid turned out to be a white supremisist skinhead.

Oh for the love of God . . .

Scroll about halfway down - under legendary names.

It's like the story of the mother who named her daughters Jenna and Tallia ( say them together without the 'and' ).

Emmitt Troy Michael Daryl Jay Eckberg. I like the sound of that!

Jeeber Skydog Lathum..

{insert Freakonomics plug here}

My dad actually worked with someone named "Noname". (Pronounced "no-nah-me") Apparently, the mother assumed that when they filled out the child's card and they put in "no name" because a first name wasn't given yet, that it was apparently the name that was assigned to her child (or something like that). I'll have to ask him again sometime (either that or wait a little bit at the Holidays...it'll come up at some point, I'm sure).

My friends from China were named Feng and Mei Ling Lee. They were expecting their first child, and were wondering about names. My suggestions didn't go over too well.

I thought a good name would be Real. Then the kid's name would be Real Lee. Then for a middle name, I suggested Ugh. So the full name would be Real Ugh Lee. It was at that point I found out that his wife was proficient in several different forms of Eastern martial arts.

:D

I went to a baseball camp with a guy named Michael Hunt.

He was a bitter, bitter guy.

Good times when he missed a day and they called his name out 3 or 4 times, it was like the Simpsons made a guest appearance in real life.

My Aunt lied!

Any child with the name Michael Jordan _________ has a parent that needs to be shot on sight.

I knew a woman who named her son Allante, after the Cadillac.

Knew another woman named Chevelle.

I'm waiting on hearing some woman yell at her kid "Escalade, get your ass over here!"

Nah. Michael Jackson still wins with the names of his kids.

I'm pretty sure Pilot Inspektor Lee is a bad baby name.

Anyway, when I have a kid I'll pretty much name him after a sports player. My wife will have no choice.

Before we started having kids, Antmeister wanted to name one of our kids Skid but somehow, Skid Marks didn't sound quite right.

I know a person from work who has a newborn family member named Espn (Pronounced S-Pen).

Kinda weird if you ask me.

Could have been worse, like Kobe Kareem Magic Till.

Or could have been worse if they were Cowboys fans and just named him Emmitt Till

I think Jeeber likes that name:

:eek:

The worst name I've ever known personally (and he is a very nice guy) is:

Richard Lesicko.

Of course, he went by Dick.

And he is no urban legend. He works at Macalaster College.

I was at an ABA dinner at a hotel. In another one of the conference rooms there was some Oil & Gas dinner going on. We ended up sort of mingling and met some guy from Texas, cowboy hat and all, named... DICK LeCOCK. Yes. No lie. He gave us his business card.

I knew a kid growing up named Cocaine... that had to suck. Of course, we were like 8, so we didn't care.

Shorty, I'm impressed. Im assuming your school makesyou take an elective and you took an Afro-centric type of class? Mine did...lol

My wife seems to think this name is bad for a child....


Quagmire


Go figure.

Actually I think I learned about him in an English class in HS.. maybe. I don't remember, but it's one of the few stories that stuck.

Giggity giggity

Eric Milton Kormelink?

I prefer Jung Bong Kormelink

I'll probably just name him Cincinnati Reds

I'll bet a lot of people will be mis-spelling his name then. And if he becomes a baseball player, better teach him to hit. I'd hate to have a sucky kid....

No kidding about the trouble spelling it.

Sucky kid.. like this guy?

I went to high school with a girl named Jenn Atallia.

He changed his name to Suck?

I have a cousin named Elvis Uecke (pronounced Icky...)

That's about as bad as I know...

I remember hearing something on the radio when I was at University of MD, where a couple actually named their baby, "Tragedy". I had to laugh, but at the same time wonder if that kid would kill the parents in their sleep as soon as they were old enough to get the meaning? That was probably the worst I ever heard.

If you named your kidd Griffey Junior Kormelink, would he be hurt all the time?

I went to school with a Robyn Goff and he dads first name was Jack. Many people would ask how "Jack Goff" was doing.

I'm naming my firstborn son Clark. The wife has grudgingly agreed.

Damn, I have met a number of Mercedes.

In fact I may have even given them money. For some reason I just can't put my finger on why.:eek:

Saw this pointed out by a 'punk' singer/writer who is naming a song this on his next album I guess. And I am sure I have heard this name before too.

Alexia

UCLA's star TE is named Marcades. You think that's bad, his middle name is Alexis...Heh.

Ah well, he'll be richer then me after getting picked in round 1 nextyear

"It used to be shithouse"

SI

Is this some Hockey thing? Who is Clark? Why not Lewis?

That's a fucked up word. How scary would that be to lose the ability to read?

Anyways, at first all I could think about before I clicked that link was

Couldn't afford a car
so she named her daughter Alexus

Sucks that he got car names that predominantly are suited for girls.
