Does anyone else wonder what his parents were THINKING when they gave their son the first name of "Niger"? Were they oblivious to the obvious problems that it could give him throughout his life?

Why should it? Sound both out. Notice that Niger is pronouced with an i while the other one is pronounced with an e. Also Niger is also a river in Africa

Why should it? Sound both out.

Think about it. How easy does that make it for him to be degraded (think back to jr. high) and for idiots to do something like they did on MSNBC.

While you and I both know how to pronounce his name correctly, it still leaves him wide open for attacks such as this.

Likewise, I wonder what Dick Butkis' parents were thinking...
