Confusing her gestating fetus with a sports stadium, a woman in Arkansas is auctioning off the naming rights to her unborn son on eBay, starting at $150.Lavonne Drummond, an unemployed mother of six, is hoping to garner $25,000 or more by offering the opportunity to name her seventh child, a boy due on Sept. 16, to the highest bidder.
"The economy is so bad and there's no jobs out here that will support a family of my size," Drummond said. "It sounds really crazy but I thought maybe there's someone out there who could help me out with a good name. I'm running out of good names."
Drummond's family has thus far not embraced the decision, and her husband, a Navy man stationed in Virginia, isn't even aware of the online auction yet. "He'll probably support me 100 percent on whatever I feel is best for my family," she said. Probably.
With the auction still underway, Drummond will have to wait and see what happens, until September, when she'll likely welcome an adorable baby boy named GoldenPalace.com into the world.

It might or might not be true "its against tort law to sell the rights to your unnamed child, or gamble with them. specifically it says that the naming of your children cannot be used as tender". That having been said the listing has been taken off of e-bay if you had all followed the links in the article to the original Fox news article, which linked to the e-bay auction. You would see it is no longer there.
Had that occured this board would be blank, but, for some reason society feeds off of anything they perceive as ab-"normal" what constitutes normal anyway?
Oh well. You all have a great day & I pray she has a happy, healthy child that the military will pay her more for ... oops that's public assistance in most states.

Ok. I agree with everyone here for the most part. Yes it is HER right to have more children but I do have to say she is crazier than batshit to have a 7th & admit to the fact that you can't take care of them & you have a husband??. Oh good grief!! I am a 40 yr old single mother of a 19 & 18 yr old & it was hard as hell raising 2 as a single mother. I don't understand. Then want someone to BID on naming your child. I would not bid one red damn cent to name her child. I have now lost all respect for ebay. I thought it was bad when the one woman put herself on ebay to raise money for college and now this??? When will the madness ever end? Enough is enough!!!!

Intelligent, hardworking, fiscally responsible, and morally upstanding people like me are paying for people like her :(... She's a single unemployed, obviously uneducated mother with six kids (soon to be 7). That's why she can't afford healthcare and other basic ammmenities. She is bad for society.
