Yes, that's an actual headline.
What have parent succumbed to these days? I mean, I know gas prices are ridiculous, but giving up the right and privilege to name your own son for a $100 gas card? That poor kid. He'll have a great story about his name that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
ORLANDO, Fla. (July 12) - An Orlando man has traded the naming rights to his unborn son for a $100 gas card.
David Partin recently heard that a local radio station was giving $100 worth of free gas to the listener who called in with the most interesting item to trade. Central Florida radio hosts Richard Dixon and J. Willoughby were quick to take Partin up on his offer, The Orlando Sentinel reports.
When the baby is born this winter, he will be named Dixon and Willoughby Partin — with the "and" included.
Partin's girlfriend, Samantha, says at least her son will have an interesting story about how he got his name.
Dixon and Willoughby plan to be at the hospital when the baby is born and will hand over the gas card when they see the official birth certificate.
