Mister Allen Iverson

[Brundlefly]

NORFOLK, Va. - Mister Allen Iverson is a little more than 2 weeks old. He is the "personal business" Allen Iverson was attending to while the 76ers were in Salt Lake City and Dallas during the weekend.

Mister Allen Iverson, the Sixers star's little brother, was born Oct. 3 to Allen's mother, Ann. Allen's older son, Allen II, is Deuce. Mister Allen Iverson already has been designated as "Trey."

"Born Oct. 3, Allen wears No. 3, so the baby had to be Trey," Ann said cheerily before the Sixers dropped a 102-85 preseason decision to the New Orleans Hornets in the Ted Constant Convocation Center.

"He's Mister, because, back in the day, when our people picked cotton and such, the men were always called by their last name. I didn't want that for him. Then I wanted his middle name to be after someone famous. Allen's famous."

fyi. discuss...

I don't quite understand.

Some celebrity called Allen Iverson called his both sons Allen Iverson, with a twist ?

What else to discuss?

Are you referring to Mr. Allen Iverson or Mister Allen Iverson?

[SlowwHand]

Now you know why he did it.
To distract attention from himself, and spread among his brood.

The punk. The jackass. The ****forbrains. Bastard. Ephelope.

Well, I don't know about all that. I think you've got some misplaced anger there, Sloww. Simmer down. I just find the name 'Mister Allen Iverson' humorous.

btw, i searched google and 'Ephelope' is not a word...

[SlowwHand]

I made it up.

I read that it was once common in some places to give sons the same first name and distiguish them by the middle name. There was something about it in Sherlock Holmes with regard to both Moriaty and Watson.

I still know people where that is true

Ask George Foreman. I guess he's a Sherlock fan.

What I don't understand is that she developed this line of reasoning why she named the child 'Mister Allen' and then she doesn't even use that name. She calls the kid 'Trey'.

Well, at least she didn't name him 'Anfernee'...

Well Trey would be as in the Third , III.I have a friend whi is the third in his family with the same name and he is called Trey also.
It is pretty common for black folks to name kids in an odd, well rather unconventional method, but I wonder what Iverson will name his children? If his little bro and his own son had the same name, perhaps they could pull some fast ones on drivers licenses and documents

No, Spiff. The mother of the celebrity, NBA player Allen Iverson, just gave birth to a child. She named that child as follows: First Name = 'Mister'; Middle Name = 'Allen'. And the last name is still Iverson. According to the article, she intends to call the child neither 'Mister' nor 'Allen', but will instead call him 'Trey'. Does it make sense now?

What kinda of a name is "Mister", anyway?

[Japher]

Someone should call child protection services, someone as off the rocker as this lady should not be raising kids.

She doesn't call her kids by their names because she names them such F'd up names, and she thinks she was a slave... What a nutcase
