Father sells rights to name unborn baby for $100 gas card!
Dad Sells Baby's Name for $100 Gas Card
ORLANDO, Fla. (July 12) - An Orlando man has traded the naming rights to his unborn son for a $100 gas card.
David Partin recently heard that a local radio station was giving $100 worth of free gas to the listener who called in with the most interesting item to trade. Central Florida radio hosts Richard Dixon and J. Willoughby were quick to take Partin up on his offer, The Orlando Sentinel reports.
When the baby is born this winter, he will be named Dixon and Willoughby Partin — with the "and" included.
Partin's girlfriend, Samantha, says at least her son will have an interesting story about how he got his name.
Dixon and Willoughby plan to be at the hospital when the baby is born and will hand over the gas card when they see the official birth certificate.

It's not a terrible name, actually. It would be tremendously cruel if it was The Dixon and Willoughby Show Patin. The 'and' makes it stupid and how they got it is even more idiotic. And for $100???? Seriously????

You don't even get the birth certificate in the hospital. It comes in the mail.

Re: Father sells rights to name unborn baby for $100 gas card!
I saw this on the Orlando news yesterday and was like OMG!! He said he would even do it for $1000 in a heartbeat if someone came to him. He didn't care what the name would be. It is a shame the girlfriend had to go with it. The couple did not look all here IMHO.
