    Some people will do anything for free gas

    ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando man has traded the naming rights to his unborn son for a $100 gas card.

    David Partin recently heard that a local radio station was giving $100 worth of free gas to the listener who called in with the most interesting item to trade. Central Florida radio hosts Richard Dixon and J. Willoughby were quick to take Partin up on his offer.

    When the baby is born this winter, he will be named Dixon and Willoughby Partin — with the "and" included.

    Partin's girlfriend, Samantha, says at least her son will have an interesting story about how he got his name.

    Dixon and Willoughby plan to be at the hospital when the baby is born and will hand over the gas card when they see the official birth certificate.

    Ya know, on some level I think that is abuse. Not sure why I think that, but damn this kid is going to be teased mercilessly all his life.

    Not unless he tells people his middle name. Dixon isn't that bad of a first name. Guess you haven't read my boyfriend is naming our daughter Serendipity. Yes, you read that right.

    I'm sure dad is waiting for a higher to NOT give his kid that name.

    People will do anything for money (or gas). The Baby Borrowers is a prime example.
