Alabama fans show their unique and undying obsession with the Crimson Tide in many creative ways: Detailed reproductions of cherished moments, carefully worded stays of justice in trials, elaborate full-body tattoos, Bear Bryant-based reinterpretations of Shakespeare, offering infants to be autographed, etc. And, though they can't pass on their love via DNA (yet; the state's best gene therapists are working around the clock), they can brand their offspring with 'Bama-themed names, as the Witts of Hartselle, Ala., did with both of their boys, Tyde and Saban, in 2005 and 2007.

Not to be outdone in their devotion, J.L. and Jackie Redd of Tallassee, Ala., took the next step in January by introducing their son, Crimson Tide Redd, to the world:

Here's an original name: Seven.

Poor kid. He now has to live with this name for the rest of his life. Perhaps his friends will know him as "Ty"

What if he ends up going to Florida? Or LSU? LOL!

I suppose that he will have to change his name to Blood Redd...or never leave the state of Alabama.

What is so strange

We have a few people here who have kids named HD-DVD and VOOM ---or is it VOOMella?

Come on...Seinfeld episode Alert! You should have gone for Soda, a bit more obscure though still from that very same episode. I do though know a girl, well, she is a woman now but her name is...and I do not jest...

Cigarette Moskovitz.

I also know a woman whose name is Infinity Spiro, not that strange hugh, well, you have to take into account that her younger brother is.....Zero Spiro.

..... and you guys think I am crazy when I tell stories about Alabama fans.

Local radio sports show here where callers call in all of the time bragging on how they name their son "Bear" or "Nick".

I am thinking "boy, great time to go on satellite radio" (which the program did a few weeks ago.)

What about an Auburn fan.

He would be run out of the family!!!

They've got a name for the winners in the world

Hey, Soda Pop and Pony Boy were character names in the book (and movie) "The Outsiders" Nothing new there.

But parents who think are being creative saddle their kids with some names the kids have to deal with.

A local politician's name here is Dusty Rhodes. A friend of my mother's is called "White Star" (in Spanish), I went to School with a poor girl named Mary Kris Mahs. And there is a local school gymnasium named after a beloved former coach and teacher Dick Berning.

See ya

What if the kid doesn't like Alabama?

What if the kid doesn't like Alabama?

The kid will probably end up not liking sports at all.

If some on named thier kid Nick after Saban, I could understand that, it's a typical name, but to name them Saban would be odd.

Is he named after the wrestler?

 

[Mr Tony]

Dusty Rhodes (the wrestler) real name is Virgil Runnels Jr so that would be funny

 

[TNGTony]

Dusty pre-dates the wrestler. That is is real name.
