On February 27th, someone created a Facebook group that's called "MY SISTER SAID IF I GET ONE MILLION FANS SHE WILL NAME HER BABY MEGATRON." Already there almost 750,000 fans, and the due date isn't until August. And over at the discussion boards, one thread asks what the middle name will be.
Easy: Destroyer of Worlds.

I hope that they're really not going to name a child that.
I'm with tofu and LisaL. I read an article a few days ago about how an unusual name shows how narcissistic the parent usually is. This mother must be a downright insufferable person.
I think it's a lovely name. If I may suggest a middle name, DEVASTATOR wouldn't be half bad, though an MOTU reference would make an appropriate nod: GRANAMYR, perhaps.
I think its great :D
Name the next kids Starscream and Soundwave
But still: poor kid.
Giving babies weird names is a form of child abuse. Babies are not toys, though in our society of immature adults I guess some parents may be excused for thinking otherwise.
If weird names are so wonderful, why not change your own? It is fun!!!
DEVASTATOR would be perfect if you had sextuplets, you could name them Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Long Haul, and Mix Master. When you introduce them you could dramatically state, "Meet Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Long Haul, and Mix Master. Together they form DEVASTATOR!!!" and then add a maniacal laugh.
EXCELLENT concept. My hat's off.

I find it really funny.
I hope the parents don't go through with it with their child for their own amusement though.
Idiots.
I don't know, I'm torn on this. Geeks really love their/our culture and in lieu of a better history (parents, grandparents) given by tribal passing of names, I think it almost fitting that people do this. Didn't Adam Koford just name his kid Charlie Theodore after Charlie Brown and Dr. Seuss?
MEG ATRON
And in todays society that wouldn't even be weird.
But seriously, I would name my son that... so I'm going to be kinda irritated if this hooker does it on a bet.
