| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | What's in a Name? At Least 500G, Couple Hopes Naming rights — they've come up in connection with sporting events, like the Nokia Sugar Bowl, or entertainment venues, like the JVC Jazz Festival. But naming rights to a baby? Jason Black and Frances Schroeder of Mount Kisco, in Westchester County, are willing to sell to a corporate buyer — for a cool $500,000 — the naming rights to their son, who is expected to be born within a few days. So, possibly, the newborn could be dubbed "Amazon.com" Black. Or "White Castle" Black. How does "Black and Decker" Black grab you? "The exposure that it could bring to a business is potentially huge," said Black, 32, an editor at a Manhattan-based Internet magazine. The couple has posted ads on eBay and Yahoo! citing a minimum bid of a half-million. So far, no takers. Black said the only names they will not accept are those of cigarette or gun brands. The couple hopes the money from the deal will allow them to buy a house and save for their children's college education. They already have two daughters, Josephine, 4, and Lois, 22 months. Black isn't worried about the long-term effects of any teasing his son may endure if he becomes a corporate namesake. "As long as we provide him with a comfortable and loving home, he's going to turn out fine," he said. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | I don't normally promote these sort of things, but they should be dragged out onto the street and stoned. This is absolutly ridiculous. This kid is going to be so f-ed in the head. oh and one other thing, the parents should have NO access to the money. It should be put into a IRA or something for the kid. Buy your own damn house.
