I will name my Son Batman If this page gets to 500,000 (Page 6 of 25)

Some of you people are so.. snoddy. You're bitching about how wrong it is, and all this other load of garbage... But we all do the same thing. We name our children, and pets, after things we like or feel has a ring to it. So what if the guy wants to name his kid Batman? It's his choice, and obviously his wife (or girlfriend) is going along with it, otherwise he wouldn't be doing it to begin with. If it's not legal, then so be it, but if it is -- Get off his back about it.

A lot of kids don't like their names. And THEIR names are normal like Alice, Diane, David, Zach or something else. He could name his kid Greg and the kid could hate it. It's a KID.

Everyone always gets their panties up in a bunch over stuff that doesn't even concern them. We don't go around saying "omg you can't name your kid Elvis because that's copying someone else!" or "wtf you can't name your daughter Marilyn!" ... Really? It's the same concept.

Your points aren't even solid.

Amen! Haha.

Mostly posting so i can get an email of the birth certificate, but I personally think that doing such a thing is fun, awesome, and in the spirit of everything good and funny. The kid can always change his name when he gets old enough, and by that time he will have realized how awesome his name is.

Yea man, fricken awesome. wish i had thought of that. how many hits you get so far? id like to see a copy of the birth certificate as well.

This is a horrible and shocking devaluing of human life.  I strongly recommend this person to deeply contemplate and imagine what their child's life will be life in less than a decade after all the hype as gone away (well before then I'm thinking).  They will be left with a son named "Batman", all for what?  What's the point?  Setting a record?  I strongly urge this person to consider what the value of life is and what the responsibility of bringing another life into this world is.  How could a wife agree to this?  It's not too late to turn back and get rid of the page or just call it a bad decision- I think many people would gain more faith in the human race, those who don't believe in our spirit. 

Really though?  Batman?  For what?  This is another human's life we're talking about- starting off their life with that sort of great bias, what will that do to them?  What sort of values will that inherently give them?  What will that do for their self-esteem, to see that their life is so unimportant to even their own parents that they would make their name Batman?  More importantly, to go through or even to put something like this into motion, what is this person's life values? 
 
Is it possible that maybe commercial hype has gone a little too far?  What are our values for both a husband AND a wife to agree to name their child Batman?  If what, 500,000 people agree that it's cool? 

I strongly urge this person to reconsider.  I think this says something about our current mental environment.  I think taking a few moments of silence and deep contemplation would really be a good idea.

Seriously, have you heard some of the names that people give their children?! I am a labor and delivery nurse and trust me when I say that I've heard them all.
Batman for a name is nothing to be devalued for. This kid will most likely grow up thinking that he had the coolest dad ever to give him this name.
And as far as Batman dying down, get real, what world do you live in??? Batman has been around since the 1940s and the "hype" as you put hasn't gone away. Batman has more fans than ever!!

If you want to think about names that could "devalue" a child's life maybe think about all of these children that have the same exact name as 10 other kids in their class. Yep, that makes them feel REALLY special!!!

Seriously, get over your rightous self!!!

I think this is a cool idea
I'd love a name like that, its different and no body else would be called it he would be unique
I think he would be very popular just with his name never mind personality!

Dude seriously. Hes not changing his mind. Get over it.

i wish i was a monkey

Oh come on , Batman isnt that bad .. just give him a normal middle name and call him that .  People have named their kids far worse .. like peaches , and apple , and lala , and with all the "uniqe" names coming out these days , i hardly think he'd get picked on for it.
go for it. he can always change him name at somepoint.

You know what, my dad knew a kid in high school named Seymore Buttes. I'm certain little Batman will fair better than that poor guy did. Go track down Mr and Mrs Buttes and chew them out instead. @_@

also i'd Love to see his birth certificate as well.
