per CBS:

Summer and Steven Steele, Alabama residents who kind of, somewhat, sort of like Alabama football, named their child Krimson Tyde, as reported by AL.com.

Alabama football fans … named their child (a human who will have to live with said name) … Krimson Tyde.

“The reason we named him Krimson is that we are big Alabama fans, and it is a very unique name and we loved it,” Steele said.

Go Gophers!!
 

Fast forward 18 years, and that kid is going to Auburn.
 

Sadly, way too many parents don't think about the future when naming their child. Some of the names kids are given now days, especially by celebrities makes me believe they think their baby will be a baby forever. A name that is cute when they're 6 months old may not be when they're 25.

With this name, this kid's future is pretty much already determined.
 





Lets be real judging by the genetics this kid will be lucky to get his Good Enough Degree
 


I know someone who named their daughter Penny Nichols.

I was actually hoping that Kanye and Kim would give their child the middle name "Bynorth," as in North Bynorth West. Could name their next kid Alfred Hitchcock West.

Now that would be psycho.
 





According to this article, there were 76 girls named Crimson (or some variant, Crimson was the most common) born in 2012, and 35 were from Alabama. In 2012, there were 9 boys born in Alabama named Crimson. So it does seem to be more common as a girl's name. There were also 6 Alabama girl's born in 2012 named Auburn.

Nothing wrong with Auburn as a girl's name, but it would be more appropriate somewhere other than Alabama. "Goldie" isn't a bad name for a girl, but probably not a great idea if you're a fan of the Gophers.

Were the rest the offspring of Harvard alumni?
 

I'm just waiting for a Wisconsin couple to name their kid Bucky Badger now! :D
 





I can see naming your pet after your favorite team (my family's cat's name is Goldy), but a kid is just too far. Maybe a middle name if it was like John Golden Doe, or John (Spartan/Duke/Crimson) Doe, but no further than that.
