Why would someone name their kid Fitty Cent?

I mean it used to be that people would name kids after relatives, which is kinda cool when you have a Roman numeral after your name like III or V or X, but then would probably get even more confusing when you get to the higher numbers like L or D or C, btw, speaking of currency, I knew a kid named Buck when I was younger, but I think that was in reference to his front teeth, and although he had a twin brother, people just called him Jerry, only the nuns at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion would call him Jerome.


So, in conclusion, personally, meaning me, as a person, I would suggest that when given the task of providing someone with a name which will be used for that person's entire life, I'd urge everyone to give it a lot of thought, and not just a monetary unit, or better yet, allow him or her to pick their own name, and just refer to them as Son or Daughter.

Blame it on celebrities! They give their children nonsensical names that would get the average kid beaten up every recess, but can afford a body guard

Fifty Cent is a moniker which differs from a nickname in that you pick it.





Back in the fiftys so many people had the same name, most people had nicknames
