Would you name your kid after a pizza?

I hope your answer is no.

On Friday, Leap Day, Domino's ended a bribe promotion for their BRKLYN style pizza. The contest gave the first sucker on Leap Day, who named their newborn Brooklyn or Brklyn or Brook Lynn (any version of the name), $1,000 in Domino's pizza gift certificates. That's right, in exchange for naming your kid after a fast-food gimmick you'll get the incredible satisfaction of eating roughly 100 freebie pizza's.

Also runner-up babies would receive a "Brooklyn-style pizza party." Since you can't feed a newborn pizza, I guess Domino's was thinking that the lucky named babies would get their first taste via Mom's boob. Shortly thereafter new baby BLYN's would enjoy his or her first gas pain screaming fit.

No word yet if any American fell for and "won" this stupid promotion. Or if people who name their kid "Kings" would qualify since Kings County is the official name of Brooklyn. Anyway if you did name your kid Brooklyn, and you've come out of your pizza coma, here's one form to legally change a name. Thirteen years or so from now your newborn baby will thank you.

Brooklyn has been on the top 100 baby names for the last several years. I'm sure this all occurs outside of New York.

I'm all for spreading the word of Brooklyn - 'tis my boro after all. But in this case, you're naming your kid after a pizza first.

Hey the Beckhams did it.
