I'd hate to be this kid
Knock-out name for baby girl
LONDON (AFP) - Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them.
The little girl's mother Maria, in keeping with her boxing-mad family's bizarre tradition, decided to give her 25 middle names - all culled from the greatest exponents inside the ring.
Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.
Maria told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.
"When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all."
The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though."

I'm actually disappointed in the mother. If your going to give your child 25 middle names, there is no excuse to miss letters in the alphabet! Yes, even those hard-to-use ones. C'mon, can't you use the letters Q and X somewhere? Those are the two that are missing, for the record.
Eh, on second thought..... what am I thinking?

LOL, and to think we almost left the hospital with my last born daughter with no name at all, we could barley come up with ONE we both liked. At the very last minute we finally decided on her name and how we would spell it, her older twin sisters decided on her middle name months before thank goodness.

She won't be able to fly like a butterfly or sting like a bee.
