Does your son's or daughter's name pay homage to your alma mater?

I just saw this story about a Tennessee couple who are welcoming triplets into their family:
quote:

Boy A” will be named Knox because the father was born in Knoxville. “Boy B” will be named Neyland, after the Volunteers’ legendary Neyland Stadium. “Girl C” will be named Tennessee Grace"

Tennessee Vols fans expecting triplets; You’ll want to see the names



At Texas A&M we have our share of Kyles/Kylies, Sullivans, Gills, and Rosses, but nothing really over-the-top.

Just wonderin' whether any of you have some good stories?

Almost as trashy as naming your kids Bear, Yellow Hammer, and Alabama Slammer.

Gonna try to work toward the future Dak Cane, the first of his name, this week-end.

Wish me luck

Don't forget young Krimson Tyde. I won't tell you what fan base.

Who?

Kyle, Kylie (Kyle Field)
Sullivan, Ross (Lawrence Sullivan Ross - 19th Gov of Texas; former President of Texas A&M)
Gill (E. King Gill, original 12th Man)

All three of the above are immortalized on campus via a stadium or statue.

Like I said, each is subtle enough that no one would necessarily think Texas A&M.

I can tell this is bogus because all the names are spelled correctly.

Whatever that underbelly tattoo is will be an unmitigated disaster in a few weeks.

Two thoughts:
1. Few things annoy me more than apostrophe abuse (e.g., "Triplet's")
2. That flower tattoo on what is now the underside of her belly will likely remain wilted from here to eternity.


ETA: Costanza beat me to the tattoo comment.
