Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown's parents thought it'd be fun to give her a few extra middle names. 25 names, in fact (just in case you don't feel like counting) which totals a whopping 185 letters.
If that seems odd (and it is), what's even weirder is that it's all part of a family tradition. Autum's mom, Maria, comes from parents who gave their three children a total of 103 names. So what gives? Why make your kids memorize an entire paragraph just to learn their full name?
As boxing fans have probably already surmised, the names are in honor of the world's greatest fighters. Both Maria and her parents boxing fanatics -- and, as you might suspect, have a healthy sense of humor.
Anyone want to place bets on how old Autum will be when she finally memorizes the whole thing?

Colleen said...In the book Freakonomics, they did an entire study on names and what effect your name has on your life, and they found that it has no separate effect. Any outcome in your life is merely correlated to your name, not caused by it.

Messed Up Mama said...While I'd hate to have to write out a name that long, I don't see that it's all that much of a big deal. Chances are her legal Middle Name is only one or perhaps two of the 25 any way.
At school NO ONE will know unless she tells them what her middle names are. She will be known as Autumn Brown.
When she gets married they will ask "Do you Autumn Brown ..." unless she insists on using all of them or any of them.
On most forms she will be asked for her first name, middle initial, and last name, so she can either list all 25 or use the first one only.
If it was such a hardship I doubt that this would be a lasting family tradition.
