Ugh. THat's like the couple that sold naming rights to their baby.

No thanks. I'd like to give my dc something other than a company logo or (even as good as this one is) a message board...

Give me a good ol' saints name.

Sadly, however, it would be legal for them to name him 'Charlotte Mason'...

Or "Safety First" (a real child from the 1950's, whose sister was named June First).

That's why I love being Catholic. Saintly tradition, all the way!

But at least then, there are two good nicknames--Charlie, and Mason.

4Real? What can you nickname a child with THAT for a name? LOL

A friend told me this and I immediately thought of the forum and then tried to explain it to her why it was so funny.....of course it fell on deaf ears, she didn't get it.

If you saw the AP video, the little boy is wearing a cute 4real t-shirt.

I thought how fun it would be to have those to send to the moms of new babies on this board.
