A dad in Orlando really needed money to buy gas - so he offered the right to name his unborn son to a local radio station.
Radio hosts Richard Dixon and J. Whilloughby took up the challenge and named the baby - Dixon and Willoughby (the 'and' is a part of the name!)
The worst part about this besides a young boy having a hideous name?
The 'prize' was only a hundred dollors worth of gasoline.
When the baby is born this winter, he will be named Dixon and Willoughby Partin, with the "and" included.
Partin's girlfriend, Samantha Bailey, tells the Orlando Sentinel that at least he will have an interesting story about how he got his name.
Dixon and Willoughby plan to hand over the card when they see the birth certificate.
