Title: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: K9 on August 07, 2009, 07:25:04 AM On Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/YOU-PICK-MY-BABYS-LEGAL-FIRST-NAME-to-help-my-family_W0QQitemZ250476640067QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a51923743&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)
I'm not sure what to make of this; but if you have $2500+ you could get involved. Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Trippy on August 07, 2009, 07:28:59 AM This is going to end up in Politics.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Oban on August 07, 2009, 07:31:32 AM Here, let me help.
Six kids, one more on the way, no income, not married and she is trying to raise money for a new car on eBay. What the fuck? I am really tempted to bid 3k just to have the name "Norplant" thrown in to the ring.

Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Trippy on August 07, 2009, 07:41:47 AM Apparently she is married but living apart for some reason. Saying she's a "single mother" makes it sound like she's not, though.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: IainC on August 07, 2009, 07:44:27 AM She's hoping for 20-25k.... :ye_gods:
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: K9 on August 07, 2009, 07:49:21 AM I just wonder someone will do the decent thing and bid 10K or something and tell her to name it James, or Edward.

Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Signe on August 07, 2009, 07:51:25 AM Here, let me help. Six kids, one more on the way, no income, not married and she is trying to raise money for a new car on eBay. What the fuck? I am really tempted to bid 3k just to have the name "Norplant" thrown in to the ring. If you give me 3K and pay for the paperwork, I'll legally change my name to Norplant. It's not that much worse than Signe. Especially considering the three names that follow it which I'll never say. I want to buy a recumbent bicycle but I'm finding it hard to justify spending our own money since I've already bought a treadmill which has only made my eyes stronger. Whaddaya say, my old son? Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Khaldun on August 07, 2009, 07:52:16 AM Giving someone 10k to not be a douche is the decent thing? Maybe she ought to go on and see what she can get for not taking a dump on her baby's head after it's born.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Bunk on August 07, 2009, 08:17:58 AM It's not that much worse than Signe. Especially considering the three names that follow it which I'll never say. You do realize that by not telling us, it will only lead to random guessing and speculation.

Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: TheWalrus on August 07, 2009, 08:32:47 AM This is an excellent opportunity to promote the F13 name.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Nerf on August 07, 2009, 10:15:07 AM Oh, if I were a rich man.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Hawkbit on August 07, 2009, 11:02:28 AM Yeah, but Viagra Jones would be an awesome name in your 50s. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: JWIV on August 07, 2009, 11:12:01 AM This is an excellent opportunity to promote the F13 name. We could see if voodoolilly is willing to cut us a discount. Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: schild on August 07, 2009, 11:13:10 AM If I had the money, I'd buy her a minivan and tell her to name the kid Cloud Strife.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: jason on August 07, 2009, 11:22:52 AM Last name of Drummond... hopefully the winner will go with Mister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff%27rent_Strokes) as the first name.
Then again, "GoldenPalace.com" Drummond has a nice ring to it... Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Hindenburg on August 07, 2009, 11:23:26 AM If I had the money, I'd buy her a minivan and tell her to name the kid Cloud Strife. You're a sad man. Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: voodoolily on August 07, 2009, 11:33:22 AM This is an excellent opportunity to promote the F13 name. We could see if voodoolilly is willing to cut us a discount. I already plan on naming my son Eff Thirteen Dot Net. If the bitch were a drug addict, this group (http://www.projectprevention.org/) would give her cash money and pay to get her sterilized. If I ever win the lottery I'm giving a million dollars to them. Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Oban on August 07, 2009, 02:38:36 PM Signe, I would feel awful insisting that you legally change your first name to Norplant in exchange for 3k.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: schild on August 07, 2009, 03:43:42 PM If I had the money, I'd buy her a minivan and tell her to name the kid Cloud Strife. You're a sad man.Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Hindenburg on August 07, 2009, 04:09:42 PM You're a sad man. Also, predictable. Child's name should be George Tiller. Failing that, Oban's suggestion is pretty good. Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Segoris on August 07, 2009, 04:41:46 PM The Q&A for this auction is fucked up
And of course a couple of messed up names are inquired about, including "www.efleaa.com" and "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch This is the name of a town in North Wales. The name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" in Welsh." She answers saying she'll honor any name, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go try to raise money to name it Sparkimus Prime :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: schild on August 08, 2009, 12:37:58 AM She's effectively selling the right to ruin her child. She's either going to get stuck with something really fucking stupid that was only funny or clever to someone or some business.
Or "That which Creeps in the Night" or something equally assured of him/her becoming a serial killer. Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Bzalthek on August 08, 2009, 07:34:52 AM Then we should come up with a suitable warning name before hand. I nominate "Rapist Drummond"
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Lantyssa on August 08, 2009, 10:28:16 AM Perfect opportunity for Diana Karfyre.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: schild on August 09, 2009, 12:46:55 PM Perfect opportunity for Diana Karfyre. Diana is a real name. That would be a complete and total waste of money. I'm fond of this guy: "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch" Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Righ on August 09, 2009, 04:12:08 PM I would have the child be named Mymotherisacheapwhore.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: 01101010 on August 09, 2009, 07:30:11 PM I'm all for the name X . Imagine him/her trying to get away with signing that at a bank or finance agency.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Rendakor on August 09, 2009, 07:35:36 PM Damn, I'm late to the party; Ebay removed the auction.
Title: Re: Woman selling the rights to name her unborn baby Post by: Trippy on August 09, 2009, 07:48:37 PM Did anybody see how high the bidding got up to?
