Perhaps Geritt's parents. Not sure on Sarah's or Sara's. But I'm loathe to blame it one them because despite the weight of their graffiti, er love, causing the disaster, I've also seen plenty of kids from high socio-economic circumstances get named bizarre stuff these days. Plenty of high 'class' and upper middle class white parents think it's 'ok/cool' and/or the height of creativity to change the spelling of a more traditional name.
That said, Lulu and what's his name are farcical. We don't have FAT fans who can attend such venues - you can't be fat and fit into Neyland or many stadiums older stadiums and that photo is old as shite, that goes double for Neyland according to tRant.

That Lane Kiffin one is represents a time when students/those on campus were the only ones who tagged the rock. A few early Dooley ones do as well but then plan fans with no affiliation to UT got in on the act (some good, some baaaad work too - took a turn before then but really got kinda out of hand a 2-3 years ago imo.)
Even though anyone can paint it I'm glad those fans have scaled back a bit. It was too much and this has always been a student message board although staff/faculty have very occasionally used it (especially those who were either ugrads of UT or grad students of UT and who aren't too far removed from being a student).
That said, I wouldn't mind the occasional alumnus tagging it with some art and a John Doe or Jane Doe was here '71 no matter how old even those who graduated with ole Johnny. In fact that would be pretty cool.
But again, I'm not even against fans painting it occasionally but it needs to be the exception with student and the others I mentioned more the rule.
HOWEVER, it would also sadden me to see ANY of these things be rules. The rock has no rules and shouldn't but students should come first.
NOW WATCH DESPITE ME MAKING ALL THOSE DISCLAIMERS SOMEONE WILL GET MAD.

^^VUCAP2 - That one is probably my all time fave and you can tell it's stencil and not just the text but the Dooley image. Whoever did that one first did some great photoshopping, then created the stencil patterns, then took it either to place like Kinko's or even contacted a print shop and had both made.
And you know students were and given the reference like were responsible for all that. I don't mind the stencil work because it looks fantastic. Also adults weren't doing that stuff then because it was still on Frat Row and not exactly hospitable to Joe Fan.

I'm less curious about the Rock, and am more curious if the Loongbranch Saloon still has the "I'd rather be buttchuggin'" bumper stickers i made.

Nah. If you live in Tennessee, it's constitutionally mandated that you name your first child Peyton now.

Also, who names their kid Gerrit?
Gerrit Cole - Pitcher for the Pirates is the only one that comes to mind.
Gerrit is a Dutch name.

All those epic fire Dooley paintings gone. In all seriousness they should preserve that layer - it's got all kinds of interesting info in it. Give the anthropology students something to do.
Had this happened six years ago, I would have tried like hell to make this the basis for my doctorate. Also, you could use it to teach silly easy shite to freshman like law of superposition.
Basically I blame this rock thing not happening in time for me not currently being on the history channel spouting baseless theories about ancient aliens.
