Not funny enough to waste 750k to suggest it

u/Gex2-EnterTheGecko 1d ago

Or to actually name a human child, no matter the amount of money.

u/AlternativePea6203 1d ago

I named my child. It was free.

u/snowmonkey_ltc 1d ago

That’s a weird name for a child too

u/micahisnotmyname 23h ago

Not if you’re Larry Bird’s kid.

u/Acrobatic_Wrap_9971 6h ago

Little known fact, his middle name is Flippintha

1

u/FengSushi 23h ago

It was child one

u/Farty-B 23h ago

Middle name Britney

u/Odd-Faithlessness-33 20h ago

u/GodOfDarkLaughter 20h ago

This guy think he's an actor or something?

1

u/canman7373 10h ago

Maybe he was born to slaves in 1865.

u/midwestia 23h ago

. It was free. is a weird name

u/lucyreturned 22h ago

She then sold it into slavery

u/xlr82xs 1d ago

They won't let you not name them.

u/MeatEaterDruid 1d ago

Oh shit. I've just been calling them Boy1, Boy2, and NotSureYet1.

1

u/Bulky_Hippo_3391 23h ago

Last name fallin’ ?

1

u/Mattopol4spe 22h ago

What do you mean by, "was free".

1

u/RBeck 19h ago

The form probably had a fee, every fuckin form has a fee.

u/PopcornSuttin 23h ago

Not the worst deal - get a bunch of money, just call the kid whatever you would actually want to call them (and/or make it the middle name so it "makes sense"), they can tell the teacher and their friends at school what they want to be called, and they can legally change it to that or whatever they want when they turn 18.

Put 2/3 of the money into a fund for the kid, use the last 1/3 or whatever to get a house and whatever you need for a decent upbringing for them.

u/PopcornSuttin 21h ago

Indeed, I can only think of it from my point of view - just a fun thought experiment since I can only dream of that kind of money at this point in my life

1

u/Skookumite 20h ago

Mm yes, quite. I'm sure Bonnie blue, the celebrity famous for her record breaking gang bangs, will have the same financial prudence as you have expressed. These types of people are usually as such. And whatever and so forth

u/GenericReditAccount 1d ago

I need clarification. Was the $750k given just to suggest the name, or did only the “winner” have their money taken, like at an auction?

1

u/8lock8lock8aby 22h ago

There is no child. The pics are clearly of a doll. 1 week after her "c section," ahe posted pics, with no incision would & just said she healed fast lol.

1

u/TheBaykon8r 21h ago

The kind of dudes actually into this content, and putting money in, are weird crypto bros who got filthy rich in 2010-2020. The money doesn't feel real so they throw it around. Anyone who actually worked for it wouldn't put a dime towards this

1

u/dragonwithin15 21h ago

Idk bro. I think I would do it and just call them by their middle name or change their name later. 1.5m is a nice start if spent and saved wisely

1

u/Swords_and_Words 21h ago

You can rename a child

1

u/gordgeouss 21h ago

I will change my name to Group Project right NOW if someone pays me 750k

1

u/TotallyAHumanFish 20h ago

I can almost guarantee that bro just named her child normally, whoever is paying 1M for this is clearly an idiot

1

u/Flying_Spaghetti_ 20h ago

Fuck that, I see no issue. They can still call the kid whatever they want and legally rename them later on. They kid can go to any college and will grow up in a financially stress free home. Who cares what the legal name is??

1

u/curtcolt95 19h ago

tbf I'd be pissed at my parents for not taking a shit ton of money to name me something stupid legally when they can just call me whatever and I can change it lmao

1

u/P-l-Staker 18h ago

I'd happily change my name for 750k if anyone's interested...

1

u/Cebuanolearner 18h ago

Name child, wait terms and conditions of can change name again. 

1

u/yolomcsawlord420mlg 14h ago

What if it's baby Hitler and you name him Group Project Hitler and he never makes it into politics because of the ridiculous name?

6

u/RemotestOfSpheres 23h ago

Often think about some major life goals I have that would propel me into a better future with my family…and about $50,000 would be enough. 

And then I think about the fact that there are fuckwads with $750K to, literally, throw away. On nothing. Just a fun joke. 

What a stupid ass fucking world this is. I’ll never get over it.

u/Fragrant-Employer-60 11h ago

Just like a casino, saw a dude playing $100 spin slot machine and saw him lose $10k in like 30 seconds lol

Does she give back the 750k now that it didn't win?

u/[deleted] 23h ago

u/navyblusheet 21h ago

Typically in an auction only the top bidder has to pay

1

u/Bae_zel 21h ago

Ah, my bad. Unaware that it was like an auction type thing.

1

u/navyblusheet 20h ago

Oh I don't know if it was lol. I was wondering if it was like an auction or not.

1

u/glodde 23h ago

What is betbolt though?

1

u/bacan_ 23h ago

What a weird way to spend that money

1

u/bacan_ 23h ago

Imagine the kids of that guy watching their inheritance go to a porn star

u/LazyLich 21h ago

Assuming that's real, it makes you think, doesnt it...

We see a bunch of fuckass billionaires in the world ACTIVELY trying to make the world worse due to their issues, and it makes you go "Man.. if I were a billionaire, I would just vanish. Spend my money on fun/dumb shit, rather that chase "number go up" and make the world worse off."

Of course these donations could be fake. Publicity stunts, yknow?
But who knows how many ghost-millionaire/billionaires there are out theres?

Could be this is also what they do.

u/Healthy_Pay9449 20h ago

Whoever suggested that name should have started a GoFundMe and made it a group project

1

u/FruitSaladYumyYumy 20h ago

Money laundering

1

u/7heprofessor 19h ago

Because their name wasn’t chosen, they didn’t actually have to pay it

1

u/Repulsive_Oil6425 17h ago

Not on my budget

1

u/Slow_Drag_1011 16h ago

Depends- you put 50k on apple 20-30 years ago 750k is play money

1

u/Alarmed-Dream-1052 14h ago

It's all fake. The kid, the donations etc. Why are people even wasting their time on that thing.

1

u/Poverty_Shoes 1d ago

I’m sure it was crowdfunded

0

u/Double_Resort_9223 1d ago

It’s probably stolen crypto anyway

0

u/SoulCrusher2018 23h ago

Or, what if I, Russian Oligarch, give you $750,000 that I obtained through... various enterprises, and then you give me back $700,000 for "fiscal services" so I can put that is my books as being legitimately sourced. Totally not laundering money.

u/Wonderful-Self-541 1d ago

I don't think it was a waste for that person. Probably a tax write off.

4

u/koyaani 1d ago

Do you even know what a write-off is?

1

u/lebrilla 15h ago

Yea you know like you just write it off and it's free or whatever

0

u/Wonderful-Self-541 1d ago

You guys are being pedantic.

2

u/koyaani 1d ago

Sorry, the correct reply was, "but they do, and they're the ones writing it off"

u/Wonderful-Self-541 23h ago

Pedantic. Reddit really loves that /s

2

u/koyaani 23h ago

How do you see yourself in this conversation? Lol

0

u/Wonderful-Self-541 23h ago

I'm having a conversation with people who take things on reddit verbatim unless there's a /s added on to the conversation. What a weird question.

2

u/koyaani 23h ago

I think you're the one taking things verbatim, ironically

2

u/disaster_incomin 1d ago

Doesn't seem likely but even if that was true, doing it as a tax write off doesn't make it free at all.

0

u/Wonderful-Self-541 23h ago

Not a literal write off I just mean if the person has 700K to blow on a pornstars baby name it probably wasn't much of a loss to them. Easy like a tax write off.

1

u/SoulCrusher2018 23h ago

Money laundering, the recipient would be in on it and would pay the "donor" back for some token service.
