I'M HENRY THE 8TH

[TexasBred]

Anyone else noticed how many professional athletes now have II,III, IV etc. at the end of their names on their jerseys?? Many years ago if there was more than one generation with the same name you would just be a "Jr". Now ever since Robert Griffin, III started playing in the NFL many have apparently traced their roots and discovered their were multiple generation in their family with the same identical name. I swear I saw one the other day that was "The 5th". Evidently this bunch is deep into genealogical studies.

Nah, like what George Foreman did. I believe he named all his boys George. Don't seem right to use these numbers if the babydaddy is MIA or unknown.

We had a young gal name her child JKMNOP. No joke.
Correct pronunciation: NO ELL.

A young girl I had class with in college had a suggestive name that made you wonder about her parents - Dawanna Faulk. The professor always called her name with deliberation.
