The Name Game: Part 1

Jump to Comments

 

A classmate mentioned how Chipper Jones named his kid Shea, because Shea Stadium in New York is where Jones has had the most success in his lengthy baseball career.  This made me think of all the unusual names that athletes give to their offspring.

 

Roger Clemens has four sons: Koby, Kory, Kacy, and Kody  – all given “K” names to honor Clemens’ strikeouts (“K’s”).  What was Debbie thinking when Rog asked her to do this? Maybe it was after she had been injected with HGH?

 

David Beckham’s first son was named “Brooklyn” because David and his wife (Posh Spice) were in Brooklyn when they found out she was pregnant.  Thank goodness they weren’t in Hell when they found out…Hell, Michigan that is. 

 

But none of that compares to what Grill Master George Foreman has done to his kids.  George has eleven children and each of his six sons are named George: George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, George VI, and George Travis Walls). I wonder why he didn’t do George VII?
