    I love it! Hilarious! Hell, it’s better than all those parents who named their kids Britney & Jessica & Justin.

    Mildly tacky, but earnest. Ain’t no shame in naming your kid after someone you love.

    I’m with loubatie: the poor kid could’ve gotten worse. At least he’s not going to be named ‘Yurel’ as many kids eighteen years from now will likely be dubbed in Mexico.

    Somehow, a grand-uncle of mine received the name ‘Gautama Siddhartha el Buda Fonseca’. I spat mango juice from my nose when my estranged aunt first told me about it. Now, I just think it’s ballsy and dope.

    I know a Marlon, Elvis, Bogart, and they’re all Mexican and have no artistic talent whatsoever. But it sure beats being named after a santo on the calendar, some of those names are really f_ed up. No disrespect to those named by a calendar.

    one of my stepbrothers named his kid Chase and another one just named his daughter (deep breath, roll of eyes) Frankiebella Estrella.

    i told my dad that i’d be happy to pitch in for the stripper pole.

    This kid has his moves down: the tilted head, the fey, bent-wristed wave. There’s a chance that he’ll be to the Mozzer what El Vez is to, well, you get the point.

    Let’s just hope against hope that the chamaco doesn’t take himself too seriously and just sing Mozzer covers straight. It would be a waste of a child.

    A rockabilly dude (a perpetual style for Chicanos in LA) from the neighborhood, gave his kids 50s inspired names: Elvis, Maybelline and Johnny. Poor daddy cool was disappointed when his kids started listening to narco-corridos and dressing like cholos. Everyone’s a rebel!
