Duke and Carolina, helping to name your baby

At least it's better than naming your baby ESPN.

Kim Hasty of the Fayetteville Observer lets us know how April and Chad Locklear turned to a heated basketball rivalry to solve their inability to name their baby son.

After weeks and weeks of tossing around names that didn't stick, early contractions caused the decision making process to be moved up. It was agreed that Chad (a die hard Dukie) would pick the first name and April (huge Tar Heel fan) would get the middle name.

I would've gone with Gerald Montross as the babies name, but Chad decided to go with......Laettner.  Tough name for a Carolina fan to call her son for the rest of her life. April told the player that she can't stand Christian Laettner but still thinks it's a pretty name.

So April ended up going with a Tar Heel name as the middle right? Wrong. She chose Keanu (yeah, that Keanu). Look I know we all loved Johnny Utah in Point Break but come on.

I'm a giant Redskins fan. Maybe I'll name my first son Riggins. Then I'll force him into playing football!

Laettner Keanu? Why. On Earth. Would you do that. To your child.
