    It is at least worth a joke:

    "If they were to name him Microsoft, better not put him in a car. The car will crash!"

    And if some large company does buy the name, they will have some contract saying he can't change the name.....poor kid. These parents are just sick scamming people. It's like they are running a freak show. Lets see what money we can get by doing something stupid and wierd to our son!

    THis is a really sick thing to do, but if hes named Microsoft, CAnder is right, hell crash the first time he gets in a car . But seriously his parents are probably unemployed jack asses who havnt done anything but sit around gaining weight and now there going to make half a million by cursing there own son to a life that will be lived by a damn contract!! When that kid grows up, he'll probably get permission to change his name if he tries hard enough...but he'll hate his stupid excuse for parents.
    You just proved that sig advertisements work.

    There are worse things.

    I have read about parents doing far worse things to their children and not getting paid.

    Microsoft and General Motors are better than some names I have encountered.

    If my parents got 500,000 and gave me half, I would not mind being named Esso, Amoco, or Microsoft. Maybe I would expect a bigger cut for some other name.

    can anyone imagine how much that poor kid would get made fun of with a name like "Microsoft"? (Micro Soft)

    What if we changed Mike's name?

    PCChips Parks? AOL Parks? LOL

    Actually my weird name generator had "compaq" in there
