    Well sure, but notice shipping is free in this auction so what's the problem? Better than $9.99......

    What people will do to make a few extra bucks can sometimes just leave you shaking your head. Perhaps a company will pony up the money for free advertisement.

    Maybe the girl will end up with the name Kotex or Midol.

    what a sap bidding on it.

    you can have a name on a birth certicificate and call the kid whatever you want at home. we all know plenty of people that go by their middle names.

    I like it!! (the above suggested name, not the idea of the selling the baby's name). They specifically said that length of name was not an issue. That's a winner.

    Chorachietra: I got razzed at school when teacher mispronounced my name again.
    Mom: Poor dear; children can be so cruel. Get me a beer.
    Chorachietra: I hate my name. Why did you ever name me that?
    Mom: Someone paid us $15,000 on ebay to choose your name. Where's that beer?
    Chorachietra: No - really, why did you ever name me that?

    It's a publicity stunt.

    They can get the $15k. Name the baby whatever. Change it a week later, through an official legal process, and they are up over $14k with only a little time for paperwork.

    Now if they guaranteed the name would stick through the 21st birthday - that would be fun
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
