Family Names Kid After Tim Tebow

[Mr2Bits]

Some family just named their newborn baby after Tim Tebow.

His name is "Tebow Crumley". What do you think about it? Is it an honor, or just weird?

I'm sure that baby won't be the only one named after Tebow.

If I was going to go that route, I would've just named him Tim. Tebow is a bad first name, in my opinion.

A lot of folks have asked me about that. Basically, I wanted NO DOUBT who he was named after. If you name a kid "Tim", he could be named after anybody. But if you name him "Tebow", it's pretty obvious who his namesake is.

Some of our friends have countered with, "but Tebow is a last name." To which we point out that everyone has at least someone in their family with a first or middle name that was also a last name... it's quite common.

Hope you don't move outside the state of Florida or else he'll be ridiculed beyond belief in school.

The president of our local Gator club is named Steve. And it is after Spurrier. His parents are both Gators. Steve and his wife just had their first child - Tim. Their next one will be Danny.

What about Teco, Reidel, Ike, Janoris or Kerwin?

I would have named him Urban Crumley. Rolls off the tongue better than Tebow Crumley.
JMHO

Actually, we don't live in Florida. Plus (hope you're sitting for this), we're Auburn fans.

Yeah.

So now, you're wondering, "Whaa?" Well, we think Tim Tebow's an excellent role model regardless of his athletic greatness. Also, since he never beat Auburn (and isn't likely to get another chance), we're able to appreciate his success without a bit of resentment.

Plus, if you heard our 4-year-old call his younger brother "Tee-BOW", you'd think it was a cute name too.
