Spider Piglet
August 17, 2007 | Society
An Australian father-to-be has claimed he will name his unborn child ‘Spider Pig’ if he gets 100,000 people signing up to his facebook group.
I’m sure it started out as a joke and has gone a little too far, but if this guy is serious then I’m really not sure if he’s ready to be a parent. Not that I can really judge someone’s parenting abilities based just on what they name their child - but geez.
I wonder if he will go through with it when he inevitably gets the number of required signees? If he does, he’ll hopefully name the child something such as ‘Spider Pig David Young’ so that the child can at least use a name that’s not going to get him beaten up at school.
What is it with crazy baby names this week?

Sad the names some parents feel they need to saddle their children with.
And in your crazy naming list don’t forget about 4Real Superman Wheaton.

My previous comment disappeared. pft.
I really don’t understand parents who name their child such things. There was the couple recently who wanted to name their child ‘@’, and others who used famous boxers and all of the Bond film titles as middle names for their child.
Do they really think it’s going to help their child in life…or would the child end up resenting their parents, especially if they get bullied?

I figured this was a good place to post this.
Got a new cell phone on Thursday. Have slowly been going through and downloading ringtones. (Slow because I listen to a lot but download few and only do so after 9:00 PM when the air time is free. ;))
One of the first ones I grabbed as soon as I saw it available was Spider Pig. That’s the version they play over the credits, not the Homer-singing version. Which I would get, too, given the chance.
And, yes, it is currently my default ringtone.
Karl has created a version of homer singing Spider Pig which you’re able to download.
