What’s in a name?
4,050 dollars, apparently.
From the looks of the eBay page, someone sold the naming rights for her unborn baby — and two pairs of Nike Air baby booties — for $4,050.
She doesn’t care what name the bidder chooses, but hopes it’s not one that will get her child’s “butt kicked.”
The seller did it because after having three kids, “the novelty of ‘naming the baby’ has worn off.”
But wait! She adds another reason:
I have a huge pile of unpaid bills, medical expenses from this pregnancy, I don’t have maternity coverage … If I have to stop working before the day I go into labor, then I’m probably gonna lose my house and my car. So what’s a girl to do?
Is there some other hidden benefit to naming a child that’s worth paying $4,050 for? The chosen name will be revealed on her blog soon.
