That kid is going to absolutely hate basketball by the time he's ten

"Dad! I want to watch the Rangers!"
"I have no son!"

Would double their fan base

World’s biggest Nets superfan origin story

Nah, he has no choice now. Plus going from being a Knicks fan to a Nets fan? Just no, no you can't make me do it!!! I won't do it!!!!

The mom that allowed this smh.

The only bad thing about the name is the K. He'll probably drop it when gets older.
12. u/foofighter1351 · 2026-10-22 16:57 UTC
The name is Knicks in 5 the only issue the K? They turned a child's name into shitty word play I think there's bigger issues
13. u/suboptimaltraffic · 2026-10-22 17:12 UTC
The Fyve is the middle name and nobody cares about those. The name Nickson could be considered like Jackson and would be defensible. Even if it was spelled Nixon it wouldn’t be that uncommon even tho it’s typically a last name. But including the K makes it inherently tied to the Knicks which is just stupid
14. u/foofighter1351 · 2026-10-22 17:16 UTC
I guess. I mean I'd argue as a parent it seems inherently shitty to take a child's name and play puns with it for the sports team you like, the rest is just overthinking it to me they named their child, a human being, Knicks in 5.
15. u/suboptimaltraffic · 2026-10-22 17:17 UTC
I completely agree I’m just saying there was a way to do this that wasn’t so egregious
16. u/SwmpySouthpw · 2026-10-22 17:18 UTC
Yeah maybe I've seen too many atrocious baby names, but this one doesn't seem that bad. I imagine he'd just go by Nick

Every teacher will have to clarify it at the beginning of every school year
18. u/menace313 · 2026-10-22 17:50 UTC
Really? It's not even that weird of a first name and who gives a damn about a middle name. Of all the weird and stupid names I've heard, this is like a 2 out of 10 for stupid.
19. u/AutographedSnorkel · 2026-10-22 17:37 UTC
He's going to root for the Nets just to spite his parents
20. u/beefpattywagon · 2026-10-22 16:40 UTC
Feel like this is a little too far, a middle name is whatever, but the full name is crazy
