or would that be too over the top? like if you named your kid Tiger Johnson, or better yet Tiger Woods Johnson. Woods being the middle name.

*You* should do it.

Then, in 10 or so years, you & your child can come back & let us know how it went.

Let's not forget that not even Tiger's name is Tiger!

You'd have to be a serious fan (with an understanding partner) to do anything like that.

Would you ever consider naming your kid "Eldrick?"

Not me!

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to either Tiger or Eldrick

Name him with a first name T (Tony, Tommy...) and middle name W (Willson, Wallie, ...) . To get TW, and instead of calling him by first name call him TW, obviously after Tiger Woods.

How about buying a pet tiger and naming it Eldrick?

Wanna name a living organism after an athlete, get a dog. So many people with dogs here near Boston that named them Brady nowadays...
Sucks when all those people had to live with their dog "Nomar" after 2003. I imagine some folks in Green Bay not only have to endure the whole retirement/trade saga with the Packers, but also have to be painfully reminded of it everytime they feed "brett" or pick up a mess made by "favre"!

Not if I wanted my wife to stay with me...

Not until he breaks Jacks record.

sheez, who would name their kid such a stupid name. They would be unmercifully teased in elementary school. Kids need strong cool names. That's why I want to name my firstborn Han Solo . (For some reason the wife wants to overrule me on that one....go figure?)

If you did, I think you had better teach that kid to be a tough SOB early on.

im not having a kid anytime soon, but if anyone wanted to do that i would go with woodrow, and just call him woody lol

Maybe if you offset it with another name.

Tiger Napoleon Dynamite Woods...Johnson.

No. But I did name my last child Nicklaus.

I think he legally changed it to Tiger when he turned 21.

I did.

What do you mean you did? are you Tiger or something???


Sorry never mind. I know what you mean. Sorry!!

I hadn't heard anything about that mate. I believe his name is still technically Eldrick Tont Woods.

From Wikipedia:
He got his nickname from a Vietnamese soldier friend of his father, Vuong Dang Phong, to whom his father had also given the "Tiger" nickname. He became generally known by that name and by the time he had achieved national prominence in junior and amateur golf, he was simply known as "Tiger" Woods.

I named my daughter Palmer.... for a number of reasons, one of which was due to the respect I had (as a golfer) for Mr. Arnold Palmer. I view him as not only an ambasador for golf, but as a true gentleman and sportsman. I can only hope, that as my daughter grows, that she'll read about Mr. Palmer and understand and share some of his admirable traits.

Different, but very unique. I like it!

I have a daughter, but if my wife and I have a son I am going to name him BOO!

First of all, Tiger's name is now legally Tiger - not Eldrick.

Secondly, I admire the man enough to name my future children after him, without a doubt.

There can only be one Tiger. But you could go with something synonymous.


Udaman

My buddy's last name is Hogan and he named his son Ben.

Without a doubt, your children won't get teased for their names anymore than did Dweezil, Moon Unit, & Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

Not no but hell no!

Name him Sue and we'll see how he turns out.

There was a college coach back home that named his son, jack as the first name and nicklaus as the middle name.

hahahaha. i have never laughed so hard at a golfwrx post. thank you for this.

the han solo guy gets a distant second.

could have been worse, he could have named the kid "Hulk"

how about this: "If we would have wanted some wussies we would have named them Dr. Quinn and Medicine women instead of Walker and Texas Ranger".

"Seven"

I've read about the legal name change also. Sorry, can't remember the source. Seems to me though that it was in the last few years, not when he turned 21.

nice

I have a lot of respect for Tiger Woods, but I would never name any son of mine, "Tiger".

Well, why not, I guess? lol. I have a daughter named Cameron.
But I didn't name my son Scotty, sorry.

my sons name is cameron and his middle name is scott after my middle name of course he is 12 now and he can putt better the me never thouht about it tell is read this thread. should i tell my wife or keep it to myself hahahah thanks for the brain fart eye opening ahhah

I was thinking about naming him Tiger Goods but it sounds too much like a porn star. I remember all those kids named Jordan and and now I see them getting all this undeserved crap talk in the playground because they play mediocre ball.

Negative Ghostrider.

+1

I cannot wait until someone says that he or she is his "Love Child" when he becomes a Billionaire in the next few years.

ok so some one and to say it the old joke goes his mom is form tiland and well you know the rest I still think he is awesone

LOL...NO..NO...NO!!!!

Not in a million years...

There were two little twin boys that went to first grade. The teacher asked the first one what his name was. He said "my name is wagonwheel". The teacher said "now dont be funny, what is your name". The young man said "my is wagonwheel". The teacher took the two boys to the principles office. The principle asked the first young man "what is your name". The boy said "my name is wagonwheel" The principle said "now young man, lets be serious tell me what your name is". The young man replied "my name is wagonwheel". The principle said you are a liar. We are going to call your parents. The young man then said "but principle my parents had so many kids, that the just looked out the window and the first thing they saw, turned out to be our name". The principle said "well if you arent going to tell the truth then, you are going to have to go home". The young man looked at his twin brother and said " Come on lets go Chickenshit, no one wants to believe us".

Its all in the name isnt it.

say what?!?!

Taking into consideration what some Hollywood jerk off's decide to disgrace their poor children with as far as names, it is not entirely out of the questions to commemerate that of which you individually prefer.

I worked with a guy at Union Pacific Railroad who names his 2 sons Harley and Davidson. I also have a cousin who named his children after famous Mexican Revolutionaries. Pancho (Villa) Mendoza, Joaquín {wah-keen}(Muriata) Mendoza, and Emiliano (Zapato) Mendoza.

Although, sometimes the reason and the names can be strange, it is not unheard of.

I named my daughter Nadia (Nod-Ya) after Nadia Comăneci, I thought the name was beautiful and my wife was an ELITE gymnast for 12 years and Nadia was her favorite.
My son is named after my wife's Father - Anthony Philip

There's a young English pro on the fringes of the European Tour called Seve Benson, named after the great man himself. Gotta be worth an endorsement or two for the name alone, surely.
