Wrong to name kid after Spurs?

[ObiwanGinobili]

Was wondering..
would it be totally wrong ot name your kid after your fav. Spurs player??

I'm not seriously considering it, but the thoguht has been mentioned more than once around here....
JFYI- i'm knocked up with #2. I was named after the family dog and my Husband was named after a character on a novella so it's not like names are real sacred in our families!

What do ya'll think?

[Gatita]

If it is a boy, Emanuel. :)

[Jekka]

Whatever floats your boat - my dad was named after my grandfather's favorite golfer (Bobby Jones) - sports names aren't all bad as long as the other parent likes the name.

[Flea]

I don't think it is wrong.

What is the name? Emanuel, Manu, Ginobili, Gino?
I love Emanuel.

[Clandestino]

my brother and i both are named after my dad... like fucking george foreman.

[BronxCowboy]

My son's middle name is the same as a former Spur . . . I just didn't tell my wife why I like that name. :lol

[sa_butta]

if its a girl?
But no I dont think it is wrong, just
be sure this is what you want cause of
course it will stick with them forever.

Emanuela. :)

[Jimcs50]

My son's name is Nazr.

[BronxCowboy]

Schintzius?

God, no. It's a name both of us actually liked, just for different reasons. Of course, she was still mad at me when I told her why I liked that name (after our son was born), but for less than 10 minutes.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Gino, manuel, or emanuel would be good for a middle name (for a boy)

[BronxCowboy]

My son's name is Nazr.

Got a newborn? Congrats, if so. Just please tell me you didn't name him after a Knick or Hawk. (j/k)

[Summers]

Please don't name him Espn. :lol

My son is named after a Founding Father (yeah, we're nerds). :) I've been thinking of naming our next son Armstrong, but with all the doping allegations, I'm beginning to wonder if that's a good idea... :(

[Taco]

How about naming him Zarko

[tekdragon]

Ewe!

[samikeyp]

On that "25 years of ESPN" special last year...they found 7 kids named for some form of ESPN...even a little girl named Espyn. Of those 7 kids....5 were from Texas. ugh. :)


I have always like the name Duncan.

[SpursWoman]

I have always like the name Duncan.

[Gatita]

Uh, ex boyfriend?

[SpursWoman]

[ShoogarBear]

Alfredrick?
Mengk?
Rasho?
Beno?
Hidayet?

All would be just plain wrong. :)

[SpursWoman]

Hidayet ... makes me think "hideous"


Probably not a good choice....


Uwe!

That could work, though. :lol

[Gatita]

ex-husband

I thought the name Duncan was reserved for Soap Operas. :)

[Flea]

Alfredrick?
Mengk?
Rasho?
Beno?
Hidayet?

All would be just plain wrong. :)



Aw what is wrong with BENO???? :lol

[samikeyp]

[Slomo]

Alfredrick?
Mengk?
Rasho?
Beno?
Hidayet?

All would be just plain wrong. :)
:nope

Radoslav!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

My son's name is Iceman Whopper.

You gotta problem with dat?!!!

[Shelly]

Hidayet ... makes me think "hideous"

I think that's how Manu would say idiot with his Spanish accent. :lol

My son's are named Coyote and Towel Boy. We like to be original.

[ShoogarBear]

I think it's okay. Just stay away from Dikembe. Thats just mean.
Are you kidding? He might just have the single coolest name in history:

Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo

[ShoogarBear]

:nope

Radoslav!

:lol Y'know, I knew Rasho was short for something, but I couldn't remember for what.

Is Beno short for anything?

[timvp]

'knocked up' with #2....go the rapper route. Name the kid 'snoop' if it's a girl and La Bella Mafia if it's a boy. That should keep 'em guessin well into their 30's....

[MI21]

Nothing wrong with that, I hear Whottt named his three children Brent, Shane and Derk.

[gophergeorge]

Why do you ask?

Regards,

AJ (the Gopher's son)

[Slomo]

Is Beno short for anything? Funnily enough it's not. Beno is not a very common name over here. I know it's a popular nickname tho.

[TNT21]

I'm naming my first born tater tot ginobili.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Beno ain't too bad .. my husband goes by Emo (thats novella name never realy worked out for him).

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'm naming my first born tater tot ginobili.
