I should stop reading the newspaper birth announcements

I've been reading our newspaper's birth announcements, and as usual came across a few head scratchers. However, this one takes the cake by far:

Quentin Ubermensch Ignacio

In case you're wondering, Ubermensch means over human, super human, etc.

And on a similar note, a co-worker had a baby they named Nile Medulla.
We work in brain science, so Medulla automatically invokes thoughts of the medulla oblongata. But that wasn't his reason for it, he chose it because it also literally means "middle" and "how cool is it to have a middle name that literally means middle?!"

*facepalm*

I do really like Quentin, I will say that much.

Quentin Ignacio would be very nice. "Superman" would have been a bit less creepy than "Ubermensch."

That's a very interesting choice. I'd never thought of that choice before.

I do not have enough faces or palms for this post.

Quentin is a nice name as well. WTF IS WITH THE UBERMENSCH? :|

Ubermensch! Hero of the Jewish realm!

I hate Quentin. At least he has a nice, normal middle name to use instead.
