This is one of the stupider things I've heard of in a while:

> A boy named IUMA
> A future ditty by Iuma Dylan-Lucas Thornhill, whose
> parents just won $5,000 for naming him after a Web site.

> Aug. 29, 2000 | My daddy was stoked when I was born
> 'Cause a site was payin', and it wasn't porn
> Just a place where indie rock was Big Kahuna!
> Now, I understand he'd smoked his stash
> But he must have been high or low on cash
> 'Cause the freak he went and named me Iuma.
>
> I guess he thought he was a star
> With his five-grand check and his free PR
> And his hardcore band and alterna-sense of humor.
> But I was stuck with an acronym
> In a town full of boys named "Garth" and "Tim"
> I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Iuma."
