Do it and put the money into a college fund.

When I read this, I heard someone yell it inside my head.
My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn’t leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don’t blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me “Sue.”
Well, he must o’ thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a’ lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I’d get red
And some guy’d laugh and I’d bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain’t easy for a boy named “Sue.”
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I’d roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I’d search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me “Sue.”
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother’d had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: “My name is ‘Sue!’ How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!”
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a’ gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I’ve fought tougher men
But I really can’t remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin’ at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: “Son, this world is rough
And if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn’t be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you’d have to get tough or die
And it’s the name that helped to make you strong.”
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn’t blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I’m the son-of-a-bitch that named you “Sue.'”
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I’m gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
Um, the coolest name I have had in my family is “Buster,” which I adopted half way through high school. Now, that I have been confirmed I can add Thomas Aquinas to my names, Christopher Thomas Aquinas S. “Buster” lastname.
My dad didn’t care what I was named if I was female. If I was male I would have been named afer him, but NOT a III (he is a junior and hates it). My mom didn’t want to name me any family names as we had two Roberts, Carls, Madeleines, Alices, Dorothys, and Fredericks. So I was named after her best friend in college which is a two-name name and I dislike it.
Apparently in first grade I said they could call me by the first part of my name, but my mom hates it and when people would call and ask for me by only that she would reply “there’s no one here by that name” and hang up. In junior high people started calling me by my initials and it stuck. I also have a middle name which I don’t use. Everyone thinks the second part of my first name is my middle name. Plus I spelled my name wrong for the first 18 years of my life, apparently my name is all one word with a capital in the middle. FML.

This made me lol. Thanks 
True story: My mom wanted to name me Erin. When I was born I was super fat and had a full head of jet black hair. My mom said to my dad “She’s too ugly to be an Erin. You name her”.
In her defense, she was young when she had me and was pretty much scared shitless. Personally, I’m not a fan of the name Erin, so am quite happy with the name my father chose.

It’s so true! On my 18th birthday my parents and I went to dinner to celebrate and somehow my name came up. Both my dad and I always made it two words. My mom is like “no, it’s one word with a capital for the second name.” She has always, ALWAYS spelled it as two words, or at least it always looked like two words. shrug

I go by my middle name, just sayin 
I say if you’re going to take the money then put it in an account for him and never touch it.
I’ve always liked the name Magnus or Samson, my dad is Roy Darnell and his dad was Lindell, neither will be given to my future son. Being a die-hard St Louis Cardinals fan I do like the idea of having a son named “Anheuser”. One thing I think is ridiculous is all the made up names new parents are coming up with! I guess I’m more traditional though.
Name him Max Power.

fuck yes!
I’m curious why your step dad has made such an offer.
Mason Gunner sounds a little funny to me.
Meh. I wouldn’t do it for the money.
On the other hand, having a college tuition (or at least a significant chunk of one) by the time he’s 18 would be nice, if you take steely’s advice.
I, for one, would name him what I wanted and just spent the next year throwing some extra cash in an investment fund so he’ll still have the college fund.
Semi-related: Read the book “Total Money Makeover” I could imagine it being very helpful to someone about to be a parent, financial wise, at least.
Good luck, man.
Why don’t you just name him Lanky Dick Mother Fucker?
you guys really all need a finance class if you think that 5 grand is going to be worth anything close to a full college tuition in 18 years by the time the kid goes to school.
college tuition is increasing on average at a 6% rate, so you are going to have to outpace THAT and then have it grow without losing it all by making bad bets, so best case scenario it might pay for his first year if you are lucky.
^ or just save it for there first car.

Dude, your UPBRINGING has more to do with whether you are a criminal than your name. I hate it when people do studies to show some correlation and then they get used as if this means causation.
If your kid robs a bank, it isn’t because his name is Snake.[/quote]
This is where I disagree. If you name your son Snake Plissken, he’s already won in life.
