Sorta OT: Ever named your kid or pet after something U of M related
Has anyone on here ever named their kid or pet after a player or coach or anything U of M related? My wife and I just got a puppy and named her Maizie Blu. Knowing how things have been around here lately I just wanted to have a little fun with this one.
This is only my second time posting on here so I apoligize if I have any grammer or spelling errors. Go Blue

Named my dog "Little Brown Jug" growing up. Called him "Jugs" for short. Mom figured out what that meant (Hint: it wasn't a college football trophy) and the dog had to get a new name.

I named my dog Blue.
When we went for a walk, "let's go, Blue!"

one of my cats is named "fitzgerald" after touissant, who played HS down the road...

We got a yellow lab mix a couple years ago. Her fur looks like toasted coconut, so we named her Coconut. My wife said about a month after she started recognizing her name that we could have called her maize because of her breed. Strategic information placement...

Also, I love boxers, and my wife is aware that when we get a male boxer, his name will be Bo.

Named my dog Charles after Woodson. My favorite player growing up and possibly of all time. Those were the days.

My cat is Denard - he's friendly, fast, and super agile, it only seemed fitting.
December 1st, 2014 at 12:35 PM ^
How's his smile?
December 1st, 2014 at 12:31 PM ^

She's a big....HOUSE

Whenever I finally get a dog, I want to name it Lloyd. I just really enjoy dogs with non-dog names. Also, he can have two different names depending on his behavior. Does something smart/morally sound, he's Lloyd Carr. Does something dumb like peeing on the carpet, he's Lloyd Christmas.

My dog's name is Zoltan. Enough said.
December 1st, 2014 at 12:53 PM ^
I really want to name one of my kids Zoltan, but if that's a no-go I'm going with that as my future dog's name as well.

Our kitten we got this summer is named Bo, the second option was Maize.

My uncle adopted his son when he was only months old. Some where under the age of one, can't remember exactly. He named him Braylon. Obviously, we all know where that came from.

After the Sugar Bowl, I named my son Brady Hoke Murders. After hiring Mattison, I named my daughter Davida Brandona Murders.
Bad decisions both, in retrospect.

Almost named our son Brady Thomas
December 1st, 2014 at 2:35 PM ^
there is no almost, my son's name is Brady....but he will be 8 this month so he pre-dates Hoke.
December 1st, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
My 5 yr old son is named Tate, our yellow lab is named Maizen Blue....

My wife and I got two Himalayan cats when we graduated/married back in 1997. White one named Marty after Turco and gray one named Lloyd after Carr. Both brought us a national title. I would be glad to go out and buy some more pets...thought I was going to have to head over to Humane society to pick up a cat or dog to name Trey a couple years ago...dang!

If you named a kid or pet Brady because of Brady Hoke you can always say they were named Brady for Tom Brady instead.
December 1st, 2014 at 3:48 PM ^
Dog's name is Brady... He's about two and half years old...

My son's middle name is "Brady" after Tom and by coincidence he was born the same day as Tom's son in 2007. His name was already decided prior to his birth.

When I was 6, I named my goldfish "Bo."

Had our first kid this year, and we named him Charles. My wife thinks it's mostly after her dad, but we all know which Charles he's really named after!

My dog's name is Bo.
December 1st, 2014 at 12:49 PM ^
My daughter is named Victoria - my wife and I couldn't agree on a name until we saw an ad for Motts... the 'Little Victors' led to the name Victoria as a joke which turned real. She wouldn't let me go as far as doing Hailey Victoria.
Kid was born at Motts too.
Edit: The best part is that my wife is a MSU alum (doctorate) that hates MSU and loves Michigan (through my influence, she's from California).

A couple years ago I jokingly asked my wife if we could name our new dog "Denard Robinson." She rolled her eyes so I said, "Fine, 'Shoelace.'"
Our dog is named Shoelace.
