Good name or bad name? I like it. It's much better than the Bammers that named their kids Tyde and Saban!

Cubs Fans Name Baby Boy Wrigley Fields

CHICAGO (AP) — His parents say he can go by his middle name when he's old enough to decide.
For now, the newborn will be known by his first name: Wrigley.
And his last name: Fields.
His parents are Paul and Teri Fields of Michigan City, Ind. They are — no surprise — fans of the Cubs, who have played at Wrigley Field since 1916. The Fields planned the name for years before their son's birth.
Wrigley Alexander Fields was born Sept. 12 at an Indiana hospital.
Cubs spokeswoman Katelyn Thrall said the name may be a first. The team has no record of other children named Wrigley, although there have been some children names Zambrano and Ryne after Cubs stars Carlos Zambrano and Ryne Sandberg.

At least I am not making my daughter's middle name Stadium.

it's no worse than 3/4 of the 7-8 year old male population in the state of tennessee being named peyton. what's even better are the female payton's that i've been introduced to out there. This kills me. I'm as big a sports fan as you can get. I would never name my kid after a sports figure or a stadium, unless they have done something personal for me. I was named after a gentlemen that stepped in after my grandfather died when my dad was only 11 and helped to raise him. I consider that an honor.
