"O.J. Mayo"What were his parents thinking? Were they overcome with thirst and hunger? The desire to have some Orange Juice and a sandwich with Mayonnaise? Oh, what were they thinking? It would be hard enough to face life with a last name the same as the nickname for a condiment, but why would you give your child the nickname of a breakfast beverage on top of that?
Heavens, the situation is worse than I thought. My husband proofs my entries for me and he very wisely said that I may want to give a clue as to who "O.J. Mayo" is for family and friends who may read this. So I looked him up on "Wikipedia" and....the former USC college basketball player, who will be entering the 2008 NBA Draft is actually named "Ovinton J'Anthony Mayo".
Parents of the future I strongly encourage you to think....think long and hard.... about what you name your child!
I think I now understand why he opts to go by the name of a beverage and condiment....
