gridloreOK, I'm a sports nut. I live for my Giants and Niners. I will watch golf if nothing else is on. I can quote obscure stats from sports I don't even like. But even I recognize some limits.
Couple names child ESPN.
OK, this is just stupid. Never mind the fact that this kid is going to be tortured by classmates, what happens if he isn't a jock? What if he ends up a bookworm, with no interest in sports whatsoever? Do parents not think of things like this? English has several hundred male names.. chose one of them. But ESPN? Good network, lousy personal name. Hell, if you have to name him after something sports-related; use the name of a particular sports hero. That wouldn't work for me, because Barry Douglas Berry is just as bad...
