This morning on
Seize The Day, Gus Lloyd told the story of a mother in Arkansas who
put the naming rights of her unborn son up for bid on eBay in an effort to raise money for her family. Convinced that spouseless, childless Lino might actually be neither spouseless nor childless one day (a view that Lino Watch can't share in good conscience), Gus posed this scenario:
You've just won the naming right's to Lino's firstborn child on eBay for the princely sum of $11. What name would you give to Lino's child?
Some suggestions that came in from the peanut gallery (and their explanations):
- Uhnnn Rulli (get it? Weird spelling added to make it interesting.)
- Nose-Shawn Rulli (a proboscis pun on the name of former UGA running back Knowshon Moreno)
- Methuselah Rulli (after the oldest guy ever to walk the planet... lest we forget that Lino is rapidly approaching the age of 40)
- Diva Rulli (suggested by Seize The Day producer Emily Marlow)
- Twitter Rulli (also suggested by Emily)
- Julli Rulli (suggested by Gus for it's alliterative qualities)
- Gus Rulli (self-explanatory)
- Dymphna Rulli (after the patron Saint of the mentally ill)
- However Rulli (the caller says that Lino says 'however' over and over and over again on his show. Okaaaay...)
- Emmy Rulli (suggested by Emily as a tribute to his three awards. Gus added onto that by saying that multiple kids should get the same name [à la George Foreman], boys or girls. He has three Emmy Awards, why not three kids named Emmy?)
- Mint Rulli (also self-explanatory)
- Romeo Rulli (yet another one from Emily, on the premise that Lino thinks he's God's gift to women and want to pass that on to his son. Gus takes offense and suggests that Lino actually thinks he's God's gift to humanity, not just women.)
- Metric Rulli (as in metric ruler? Rulli? Get it?)
- Golden Rulli (as in the Golden Rule; suggested by Gus as a lifelong reminder to Lino on how to live his life a little bit better.)
Any more naming suggestions out there?
